Asia's largest esports tournament and content production platform
Hero Esports operates Asia's largest esports event and content production infrastructure, organizing over 7,000 matches annually for an 800M+ online audience across 12 offices and eight dedicated arenas. The tech stack is production-focused (Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro) rather than software-engineering-driven, and hiring is concentrated in marketing and operations roles — reflecting a business scaled through live events and content distribution rather than platform development. Internal friction around budgeting, cost control, and compliance with local employment law suggests growing operational complexity across multiple Southeast Asian markets.
