There have also been an undercurrent of speculation recently regarding Dave Portnoy, founder of media firm Barstool Sports, having taken a significant stake in Score Media.

Score Media saw an upward swing in its stock price over the past year as more people turned to online sports and entertainment sources amid the stay-at-home public measures for the pandemic. The esport stock zoomed by about 675 per cent in the last six months and by about 236 per cent year-to-date (YTD).
