Talking to Qatar Tribune on the sidelines of the event, Quest Chief Executive Officer Elie Honain said, “Qatar’s eSports market is growing at a fast pace. With this kind of agreement where serious brands like Ooredoo are involved, the market will continue to grow. This is the first and the biggest eSports agreement in the region where a leading telecom brand is participating.”
