Ivan Yeo founded EVOS Esports back in 2016 and has developed the brand into one of the most easily recognized brands in the region. The team was the first to reach 1 million followers on Instagram, and compete in virtually every esports title there is. In this fun episode, Ivan shared a more critical approach on starting a team and highlights the importance of catering to the local needs of the region. He views Southeast Asia as very fragmented, but there is where he found an abundance of opportunities. Based in Singapore, he brought EVOS and set their foot on Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and most recently, Philippines. Ivan said EVOS is not a team focused on winning, and that they put a greater focus on their players' well-being. But this year might just be their year to win.
