Forbes releases list of 10 most valuable Esports organizations 2020

Forbes is an American business magazine published weekly. Forbes’ trusted journalism includes franchises such as Billionaires, 30 Under 30, Forbes 400 and its highly respected investment newsletters. As a result, Forbes trusted journalism today reaches more than 120 million people worldwide.
