On July 29th, Alpha Esports made an announcement that could be worth looking into. The company announced its official expansion into Brazil via a partnership with Mais Esports. If you know the Esports market, you’ve likely heard of Mais, but if not, it is a sizable player in the Brazilian Esports market. Mais provides a portal for gamers to access news about popular games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, PUBG, Overwatch, and other very popular names in the gaming industry.
Per month, Mais brings in an average of around 4 million page views with over 400,000 followers across its social media. With this large following, Alpha Esports can bring a new, major audience to its GamerzArena platform. In the partnership, all of Mais’ events in Brazil (which are held weekly) will be exclusively shown on GamerzArena. And, the pair will also work to build Alpha’s subscription service, GamerzArena+, through the substantial following that Maiz offers.
“Brazil is one of the fastest growing markets in esports and with Mais as our esports and marketing partner, we believe there is significant opportunity to increase our user base for both GamerzArena and GamerzArena+. This partnership is consistent with the Company’s stated goal to focus on strategic partnerships that we believe will help us achieve ongoing user acquisition.”
The Interim CEO of Alpha Esports, Matthew Schmidt
Because the Esports market is growing so quickly, news like this is important for investors to pay attention to. It shows where new markets could be and which companies could be worth keeping an eye on. In addition to this, capitalizing on the Brazilian market is an interesting strategy that not many Esports companies have done to date. According to a report published on Statista, “eSports revenue in Brazil is expected to reach 55.6 million Brazilian reals, up from 24.1 million in 2017. Total gaming revenue in the country is estimated at 1.17 billion U.S. dollars by 2023.”1
With this, we see just why Alpha Esports is looking to get into the Brazilian gaming market. And while it may take time to secure its foothold abroad, it is, without a doubt, an interesting opportunity for the company. Considering all of this, is Alpha Esports worth watching alongside larger Esports industry growth?
Elys Game Technology Corp. (NASDAQ: ELYS)
Up by around 10% at midday are shares of ELYS stock. In the past twelve months, shares have skyrocketed by around 94%. This further indicates the bullish sentiment surrounding the Esports market right now. To understand why ELYS stock has pushed up so much, we have to take a closer look at its business model. Elys Game Technology provides both interactive gaming and sports betting products.
Only a week or two ago, it announced the acquisition of Bookmakers Company LLC. This is a big deal for the company and allows it to further its U.S. and Canadian sports betting prospects. In addition to this, Elys has operations in several countries around the world. This includes Italy, where it offers esports, virtual sports, an online casino, betting, and interactive games.
