Miami Heat Is Investing In Esports Through Eu Team Misfits

Miami Heat chief executive officer Nick Arison said in a news release:

Miami Heat is the second NBA team to fully integrate into an eSports team. In September, the Philadelphia 76ers purchased a big part of Team Dignitas and Apex Gaming, merging the two into the Dignitas banner and using some of their staff from the NBA for the eSports team. 

Misfits CEO Ben Spoont said:

Misfits is an European multi-game eSports organization that’s currently participating in League of Legends, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and Super Smash Bros.

Now that a team like Miami Heat has shown interest in eSports organizations, will other teams follow their lead? Only time will tell, but we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
