Betway's Anthony Werkman said: "Following the unprecedented success of the inaugural event, Betway's Fight Night is back with a bang and pits two of the world's greatest teams against each other for bragging rights and a cash prize.

"Our dedicated eSports portal isn't even a year old yet and we’ve seen eSports grow beyond our own lofty expectations, featuring regularly in our daily top 10 sports for turnover."

In the last 12 months, Betway has tripled its eSports team to accommodate the huge surge in interest from eSports bettors.
