Value investor Joel Greenblatt says this company could solve a key hurdle in esports' growth

Gotham Asset Management founder Joel Greenblatt is investing in Vindex, as it looks to build an esports infrastructure platform.

"[The leagues and publishers need to] keep up with the high demand of an enormous and growing fanbase, so to keep up with the execution of esports programs, content and events is incredibly difficult," Greenblatt told CNBC. "It's very hard to do so internally and very hard to do without a set of vendors and partners from outside."

While Greenblatt does believe that the industry will continue to grow "like crazy," he also believes that the infrastructure needs to be in place to support the audience boom that will come with it.
