INSIGHTS

Nielsen recently released new eSports research, unveiling data that shows that fans of the gaming genre are highly engaged, spending four hours a week watching or participating in contests. Overall, eSports fans skew 77% male, with 61% between 18-34. Meanwhile, research found that a company getting involved with eSports will see opinion of that brand grow by 12% compared to traditional sports. Research also finds that fans of both eSports and traditional sports, direct involvement in eSports can especially elevate fans’ opinion of a brand on top of its gains via traditional sports involvement (+12%). eSports integrations also offer the prospect of growing purchase intent (+7%) and brand loyalty (+8%) beyond what sports activations generate.
PLATFORMS
With Intel Extreme Masters Oakland set to kick off this weekend, ESL is beefing up coverage touchpoints. The league will partner with SLIVER.tv to launch the first-ever live-stream of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends using augmented live stats integrated into the Virtual Reality stream. The deal sees real-time stats implemented including player KDAs (Kill-deaths-assists), event timeline with bomb plants, defuses, kills with various weapons and “key moment” stats such as 2k, 3k and multi-kill streaks by player in round. "SLIVER.tv is helping us raise the bar for VR live streaming with VRLiveStats,” said Stuart Ewen, Product Manager ESL. “Having a real-time in depth look at everything that happens in a CS:GO match is something unique to a VR broadcast. Now, viewers not only have a bird’s eye view of all the action and a first person feed, but also all of the statistics to put together a high level view of how a round or match unfolds. All of this is only possible in a VR environment.”
Computer manufacturer Maingear now has esports wagering platform Unikrn as a partner with executives from the two companies telling PCMag that Unikrn has acquired "a significant stake" in the company. "Eventually we see the companies doing a lot more together," said Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood. "Right now, we’re completely separate companies, but I see a ton of potential with Maingear and where it’s going to go, especially over the next year. The audience for gaming continues to expand both in age and demographic, and in the next five to 10 years, everybody on the planet in the developed world is basically a gamer. So how do we turn Maingear into this truly global brand? I think we’re at a stage where we can do that.”

We have been monitoring the scene for quite a while now, and the professional attitude alongside the impressive continued presence on top of the performance chain is imperative and aligns well with the idea of our all natural drinks eNgage and diseNgage.

Ubisoft executives are being accused of selling stock just before the company announced game delays for two primary properties. Kotaku writes that CEO Yannis Mallat and other executives dropped shares before the 2013 announcement that both Watch Dogs and The Crew were being delayed which subsequently saw the company’s stock price drop by 25%. Ubisoft confirmed that proceedings investigating the moves are continuing at the Commission des Sanctions in Paris.
Nintendo confirmed that Super Mario Run would be out of the gates on Dec. 15 on iOS. The title will be available to try for free with the full game running $9.99 to mark the iconic character’s first foray into mobile.
EA was apparently hacked by an organization named RANE Developments, which tapped into FIFA coin funds, according to the FBI, via Kotaku. The report estimates that the alleged scammers took in between $15-$18 million between 2013 and late 2015. The scam involved leveraging a tool that tricked EA’s servers into thinking a game had been played, after which an amount of the virtual coin currency was awarded.
POWER PLAYERS Monumental’s Zach Leonsis
Last month’s news that esports heavyweight Team Liquid sold the controlling interest in their team to an ownership group led by sports pillars Peter Guber and Ted Leonsis shook up media that had been shy about the industry’s growth. The group, called aXiomatic, sees Bruce Stein serving as CEO and is backed by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, one of the largest sports and entertainment companies in the country. Other investors include range from the likes of Magic Johnson and Steve Case to NextVR and Tony Robbins.
Cynopsis eSports & Gaming spoke with one key player that made the deal happen, Zachary Leonsis – VP and General Manager of Monumental Sports Network about the company’s investment in the space, aXiomatic’s recent acquisition of Super League Gaming, and how the company’s OTT platform was launched with an eye on competitive gaming.
On Monumental’s interest in esports: We have been patiently waiting and studying esports for the past two-plus years and there were a couple of things that struck us. The first is that there were a lot of moving pieces in esports that were very organic. The way publishers interact with tournament organizers, the way tournament organizers interact with franchises, etc. It takes a while to understand each of the layers, and you learn that credibility is an incredibly important aspect to getting involved with the industry. These gamers, players and athletes deserve respect for their craft and skillset. Everyone reads about these big championships in New York or LA, and frankly we want to host some of them as well. But it isn’t that easy, you have to earn your stripes and build trust.
On traditional sports: There are definitely advantages that NBA or NHL owners can provide to the esports world that include infrastructure, a localized approach, partnership sales, introductions to world-class brands, venue management, ticket sales for events, media properties, etc. So there is no doubt that one of the reasons we are so excited to be launching an OTT platform is because we do think eSports is a big deal and it will only become more important as time goes on. Clearly the preferred method of content consumption around esports is via OTT distribution through apps, Twitch, YouTube, etc. so that’s where the brands are. We would love to put together esports-dedicated programming for our platform. There are a lot of pieces in play, but we are looking forward to working with Team Liquid to see what we can do and how we can be helpful to the team.
On the prospect of tying esports teams to cities: I find the approach of the Overwatch League to be really interesting and there probably will be more leagues that follow that model. But it may not be the best approach for all leagues or teams. So much of the popularity of esports is organically grown and they have a really great thing going so some of these competitions and competitors may better off sticking to the structure they currently have.
On future investment: They made an investment in Super League Gaming, which is like the Little League of esports so there are a lot of possibilities there. I think that that aXiomatic sees a lot of value surrounding business with business such as merchandising, media, and a lot of other places where we can help add some value. We think it is really a worthwhile space to be a part of and we are thrilled.
