Donohue believes that the NBA 2K League's explosive growth of partners is the result of a combination a number of firms that have recognized esports as an emerging market and an exponential increase in fan engagement. "I think that was going on all the time and the increased engagement of fans just kind of puts gasoline on the fire. I'm thinking it was all the brands we spoke to about partnerships. They all realize they're in esports, and they're trying to figure out how they can do it."
