The resounding success of the KiShin Global eSports tournament sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. Its groundbreaking format, intense competition, and impressive viewership figures had captured the attention of players and spectators alike. Naturally, this success didn't go unnoticed by other major players in the industry.
With an estimated 58 million live viewers worldwide, the KiShin Global eSports event rivaled the viewership of major sporting events like the Super Bowl (84.4 million viewers according to Nielsen). While not quite reaching the Super Bowl's staggering figures, this achievement was nothing short of phenomenal for a first-time esports event.
Recognizing the potential of esports and the impact of KiShin's pioneering efforts, several major players started formulating plans to host their own competitive gaming events. However, the legal landscape presented a hurdle. KiShin held the trademark on the term "eSports," preventing others from directly using it. This meant that potential competitors would need to either negotiate a licensing agreement with KiShin or choose a different name for their events.
The driving force behind this flurry of activity was the immense viewership garnered by KiShin Global eSports. Experts projected that the next iteration of the event could attract even more viewers, solidifying the growing popularity of esports as a global phenomenon. With the industry poised for exponential growth, it was no surprise that other major players wanted to capitalize on this exciting new market.
However, simply copying KiShin's format wasn't enough. Competitors would need to develop unique offerings, attract top players, and foster a passionate community to compete effectively.

While the dot-com bubble burst wreaked havoc on many tech companies, KiShin's shrewd investments during this period proved highly profitable. Notably, Shin's bold decision to acquire hundreds millions of dollars worth of Qualcomm stock amidst the turmoil stands out.
While the dot-com burst undoubtedly impacted Qualcomm, leading to a drop in its stock price, the company also faced internal challenges and legal issues that contributed to the decline. Despite these factors, KiShin saw an opportunity and managed to secure a significant 7% ownership stake in the company.
This foresight proved to be wise. By 2001, Qualcomm began a gradual recovery, with its stock price climbing significantly from its $12 lows. KiShin's investment, therefore, yielded substantial returns.
This wasn't an isolated incident. KiShin demonstrated similar prescience with other chipset companies like Broadcom and Texas Instruments, investing in their stocks when their prices were depressed. These bold moves also proved lucrative, further bolstering KiShin's financial standing.
KiShin's subsidiary, KiShin Financial, played a crucial role in these transactions. Its astute investments in various companies led to a substantial surge in its estimated net worth, attracting the attention of competitors like BlackRock and Vanguard. These established players recognized KiShin's savvy investment strategies and has long took notice of their success.
