Coping with coronavirus: Hitmarker’s Richard Huggan on the changing esports jobs landscape

The global pandemic that is COVID-19, also referred to as coronavirus, has had a major impact on effectively every industry – and esports isn’t an exception to this. With organisations and companies losing revenue at alarming rates, it’s a tough time to run a business for many.
