1.We note your response to comment 1. Please revise to state that investors may never hold
equity interests in the Chinese operating company and remove any statements representing
that investors in the company's ADSs are obtaining indirect ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company. Revise your disclosure to state that your structure involves
unique risks to investors. Disclose that Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow your
structure which in turn, would likely result in a material change in your operations or the
value of your securities, including that it could cause the value of such securities to
significantly decline or become worthless.

3.We note your response to comment 5 and reissue it in part. Please revise the first bullet
under the section captioned "Risks Related to Doing Business in China" in your summary
of risk factors to state that Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow your
structure, which would likely result in a material change in your operations or the value of
your securities, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly
decline or become worthless. Please make corresponding changes to the relevant risk
factor.
4.We note your response to comment 7 and reissue it in part. Please revise your definition
of China on page 16 to clarify that the legal risks associated with operating in China also
apply to your presence in Hong Kong. In this regard, we note that, although you do not
have any business operations in Hong Kong, the presence of both ESVF (Hong Kong)
Esports Limited and Mr. Mario Yau Kwan in Hong Kong nevertheless exposes the
company to legal risks in Hong Kong. In addition, we note your statement that "in the
event that we decide to operate in Hong Kong and if mainland China regulations are
applied in Hong Kong in the future, the legal and operational risks associated with having
operations in mainland China would also apply to our operations in Hong Kong"; please
revise to clarify that mainland China could apply its regulations at any time and with no
advance notice.
Please contact Rucha Pandit at 202-551-6022 or Lilyanna Peyser at 202-551-3222 with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
