Microsoft one is generating over $100,000 p.a - the others I wouldn't know for sure as some also have % of sponsorship from partner.
Unsure on how many subscribers however I have a feeling that they might be looking at doing more with developers and esports orgs like Microsoft and leasing the tech/tournament administration as they saw that $100,000 as much easier and less work then trying to get user subs as user subs will come in time but signing a developer/esport org for a tournament series is better reward/effort then acquiring users (plus has the advantage of developers/orgs bring content where as users don't).
I am also guessing beast mode isn't happening right now as they are working on user growth - no point monetising x users when you try and get exponential growth in user numbers then look at revenue - youtube didn't have ads at one point now you can get 3 ads before a video starts and multiple ones through the video even. They also had the ability to skip ads more than 5 secs however it also appears that now advertisers can pay youtube a premium to not allow skipping on certain time length videos - e.g. seen one go for 15 seconds the other day and unable to skip... Get the users in and hooked then monetise, don't monetise it first as it hinders growth.
Also the 70,000 subs was potential and still is potential - partners still using and filling tournaments
They have also added Valorant, COD Mobile a little while ago with no tournaments as yet so something could be on the cards.
Riot with Valorant said they were looking as tournaments as a major part of the esport strategy and
So potentially Mogul is working on something with them as they haven't actually ran a tournament for Valorant as yet but they have ran things for Legends of Runeterra (another recent Riot game).
