In recent years, the evolution of gambling has grown from a simple extension of the gambling industry to a powerful influence on Ecuadorian society. Around the world, thousands of people make a living by gaming online, showcasing their skills on platforms like Twitch, or competing in major global tournaments.
Ecuador has not strayed from this reality, and while the country's player culture is still in its infancy, an industry has begun to take shape over time, and it is consolidating, with private companies joining the world.
This is how Martín Alvear, a young man from Quito, became a figure in the Ecuadorian gaming scene. He has been a professional esports player since 2019 and now has thousands of fans on his digital platforms, and he is also one of the founders of professional esports team SkullCracker. Like many others, Martin found his passion and started to develop in this world because his mother bought him a Gameboy!
