CYNOPSISeSPORTS & GAMING
05.12.16
It’s Thursday, May 12, 2016, and this is your weekly early morning eSports & Gaming brief.
There is an end to Infinity, after all. After leveraging brands that include Stars Wars, Marvel, Pixar and Disney characters into the Disney Infinity gaming line, Disney Interactive announced this week that it was pulling out of the console business and will now shift to a licensing model, shutting down developer Avalanche Software. The company will still unveil two final releases with “Alice Through the Looking Glass” later this month, and the “Finding Dory Play Set,” launching in June. The company revealed during its quarterly results call that it would absorb $147 million from the franchise due to lower results. “Our goal for Disney Infinity was to bring the best of Disney storytelling to life in homes around the world, and with your support, we accomplished that,” said John Blackburn, SVP and GM of Disney Infinity. “We hope you had as much fun playing the game as we had making it.”
“I’m really surprised that Disney couldn’t make a big profit at this level,” Michael Pachter, video-game analyst at Wedbush Securities told Bloomberg. “It’s great news for Activision, as they are the last man standing in a market with more than $1 billion of annual demand.”
COMPETITION
ESL announced “bigger and better” Intel Extreme Masters events coming down the pike, including a prize pool of more than $1 million for season 11 tournaments featuring players from Counter-Strike Global Offensive, League of Legends and StarCraft II. The league will see a return to Goyang, Korea, as well as a move from San Jose to Oakland. The calendar opens in Shanghai on July 28 and wraps up in March 2017 in Katowice. “It’s a big deal for us to be doing a three-stadium IEM season,” says Michal Blicharz, VP Pro Gaming at ESL. “Adding one in Korea is historic and will make Season 11 more special than any other before.”
Speaking of ESL, the company locked in a deal with Pilgrim Media Group to create and distribute original eSports entertainment content for television and digital platforms. "Pilgrim has a long history of creating competition programming that taps into the passion of fans – whether the playing field is the Octagon, the wilderness, on a fishing boat or in an arena,” said Pilgrim Media Group CEO Craig Piligian. “We’re extremely excited to bring the power, scope and mental muscle of gaming to television in a way that helps these loyal fans experience eSports as never before."
Two European soccer stalwarts have made moves into the eSports scene. West Ham United announced the signing of its first official eSports player Sean Allen, aka Dragonn, to become the first football club in the UK to sign an official e-sports player. In addition, German staple Schalke has reportedly agreed to purchase the 2016 EU League of Legends Championship Series spot owned by eSports team Elements, according to eSports Observer.
Riot Games announced plans to launch an alternative network dedicated to League of Legends in North America via Riot Direct. The game developer has been partnering with internet service providers to lay out their own fiber lines and server routers across the country for a more stable playing experience.
Eclipse TV and 2K Sports are partnering on NBA 2K Road to the Finals, a syndicated one-hour eSports special. The tournament takes place on June 1 with a winning team taking home $250,000. The program’s syndicated window spans June 11-Aug. 1 with 85% of the country already cleared, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Cox, Raycom and Sinclair stations.
PUBLISHING & PLATFORMS
Nintendo and Mojang are hoping that two great tastes taste great together, announcing that the worlds of Super Mario and Minecraft will finally meet in a Super Mario Mash-Up Pack for Minecraft: Wii U Edition. Out on May 17, the edition will give players access to 40 new skins, a Super Mario-themed world and a slate of themed music and item textures. “Both the Super Mario franchise and Minecraft embrace the magic of exploration and discovery,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Publisher & Developer Relations. “Players will have a great time adventuring and creating in this free game update that embraces the unique and memorable elements of both franchises.”
The Star Wars brand was a winner for Electronic Arts, which reported quarterly results the easily beat analyst estimates, led by the success of Star Wars Battlefront, which sold more than 14 million copies and expanded the company’s user base over 15%. In addition, more than 54 million unique players engaged with the EA Sports console titles during fiscal year 2016, up 65% from last year; The Sims saw its user base swell by nearly two-thirds during the year. "It was a year of milestones, demonstrating our unique ability to connect hundreds of millions of players across genres," Andrew Wilson, EA’s CEO, said in a statement. "The year ahead is packed with excitement."
Capcom saw its sales grow, too – 19.8% for the fiscal year ending March 31, topping $710 million despite Street Fighter 5 falling short of its projections to see 2 million copies (the title hit 1.4 million). The company did see its Monster Hunter X series beat forecasts, with more than 3 million units sold. The company announced plans to boost revenue “by promoting the continuous growth of its Digital Contents business via major title releases and strengthened digital download sales while stabilizing releases of Pachislo machines in its Arcade Equipments business.”
SQUARE ENIX and Disney announced that the first mobile game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise has been downloaded more than 2 million times in under a month. Kingdom Hearts Unchained x is available as a free-to-play app (with in-app purchases) through the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android devices.
INSIGHTS

More than a billion people will know of eSports’ existence by the end of the year, according to Newzoo, which scouted 16 markets around the world and found that awareness for competitive gaming grew from 53.7% in 2015 to 65.7% in 2016. “Explosive growth in coverage from global and local media, an intensified effort from game publishers, as well as the launch of an abundance of new leagues and events have accelerated the global exposure of eSports beyond initial expectations,” the report reads, with an audience of 292 million who occasionally watch and 148 million who watch frequently.

Personalized brand campaigns include sponsor integration within the AdTrack feature, which facilitates uninterrupted game coverage, contextual brand integrations and ad space within limited commercial time.
The eGames is partnering with M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment to lock in a European sponsorship strategy for its eSports events in Rio during the Olympics. M&C Saatchi will offer strategic counsel and sponsorship advice to the International eGames Group in Europe, as well as support for brands seeking to be involved with the event. “The eGames will inspire future generations in competitive video gaming by creating new national heroes. We want to remove the smokescreen of what eSports actually are and work with brands that want to be part of this exciting journey,” said Chester King, CMO of International eGames Group. “We chose M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment as they have a great track record and passion for eSports.”
Sport and entertainment marketing consultancy Strive Sponsorship nabbed Gfinity as its first rights holder, advising the eSports business on how to monetize “the rapidly expanding global community of competitive gamers through sponsorship.” Strive will assist Gfinity in refining its commercial proposition and build a comprehensive rights schedule as well as a narrative that clearly articulates the engagement opportunities for brands to connect to the millennial audience that eSports attracts.

The Advisory Board will assist with the organization’s goal to “install good governance for the eGames, help promote and develop the eGames movement and make sure diversity and inclusivity are at its core.”
POWER PLAYERS: MACHINIMA
Last week saw gaming stalwart Machinima announce plans to give a lifeline to non-endemic brands looking at the eSports space, launching the MACH-1 gaming agency in a move to “connect brands with the emerging culture of gaming and eSports, providing actionable insights and strategy to architect key partnerships, influencer programs and fan event experiences that move the needle for brands.” With a reach of more than 170 million viewers each month and a rank as one of the largest online video platforms in the world, Machinima is also launching Inside eSports this week, described as a seven-day-a-week SportsCenter-style show that covers news, highlights and analysis from the industry’s biggest tournaments. Machinima CEO Chad Gutstein spoke with Cynopsis about the attitude shift from sponsors in recent years, the company’s unique position in the market and how passion is driving the gaming industry.
Gutstein on the company’s current mission: We are very focused now on growing our business as a multi-platform social content company. We are concentrating on producing, distributing, aggregating and monetizing the best content in the world for video game and fandom audiences and continuing to scale our marketing-services business, partnering with brands and helping them achieve their goals and reaching this incredibly vibrant and passionate, active audience that happens to be young and hard-to-reach. And we are very focused on growing our programming services business.
On the power of desire: People are very passionate on following great creators who speak to them; it’s an incredibly powerful connection. Games have become passion platforms that people use to generate content, and that generation is an extension of the game and self-reinforcing. If you’ve got a lot of people playing the game and creating a lot of content – with a lot of people are watching that content, then those people are going to be engaging [others], which drives more people to play the game. It’s a very virtuous cycle.
On the launch of MACH-1: When I got into this space a few years ago, advertisers basically asked, “Why should I care?” They don’t ask that anymore. They understand why they should reach these audiences – that they’re young, have disposable income and are in-market to buy their products and services. But they struggle to connect with them, which is why we launched MACH-1. How we begin to solve that is with data. The proprietary data that we get from Machinima and the data sets that we get across the major social platforms allow us to look at the motivational and behavioral aspects of why people pick games. Then we can cross-reference that with their interactions with brands.
On launching the “SportsCenter of eSports”: The show is now soft-launching, with the goal for it to hit its stride around E3. You’re going to see a lot experimentation between now and E3 as we try out different things. But really it’s about news, analysis and getting inside the game behind the scenes the personality storytelling of what motivates these gamers and what it’s like to live their life. It will be the best of traditional sports coverage, clipped into the language of eSports. And it’s going to have what Machinima has, which is the voice of the superfan.
