Verizon Announces Partnership with Esports Company, World Champion Fantasy

 

Today Verizon and World Champion Fantasy (WCF), a leading technology developer of PlayerX, the world’s next generation online fantasy Esports platform, announced an exciting multi-year contract. The alliance will integrate Verizon’s tools, services and techstack into WCF’s new and industry disruptive PlayerX platform.

“While the way we watch, interact, and participate in Esports evolves, PlayerX is leveraging 5G to deliver the pinnacle of immersive Esports-meets-fantasy sports experiences for fans,” said Mike Caralis, VP of Business Markets at Verizon Business. “We are excited for this opportunity to partner with such an innovative, forward-thinking company that is ready to tap the full potential of the rapidly growing Esports and gaming markets.”

With Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband, Esports enthusiasts on the PlayerX platform can compete in fantasy leagues using their dream team of esport athletes and teams, watch exclusive live feeds, and access real-time stats. The platform turns fantasy competition as we know it on its head by providing a high level of customization. With PlayerX, users will have the ability to define the persona, look, and feel of their teams through customizable interactive avatars, theme music, expansive chat capabilities and more. Beyond the fantasy sports application, PlayerX subscribers will also no longer have to search across multiple platforms for the most up-to-date information and highlights of their favorite streamers and athletes – it will all be housed on one non-gambling focused platform that is suitable for all ages – PlayerX.

“At WCF, we’re fundamentally changing how gamers will experience Esports and Verizon is the only partner with the technological innovation and industry savvy vision to help us completely advance and elevate our PlayerX platform,” said Mike Vela, CEO of WCF. “For the first time ever, users will be able to access seamless streaming player data and video through advanced capabilities and utilize one-touch video conference solutions, through BlueJeans, to create watch party and fan engagement environments. Through this partnership, gamers, streamers and fantasy players can have the most advanced and unmatched user experience.”

2023 PUBG MOBILE GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO CROWN THE WORLD’S BEST TEAM

Published

on

 

PUBG MOBILE Esports is excited to announce the crown jewel of the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Esports calendar, with the return of the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) for 2023! This tournament is the culmination of every battle, every challenge, and every triumph seen throughout this year’s PUBG MOBILE Esports scene. 50 teams from around the world will prove their worth from November 2nd – December 10th, as they battle it out for their share of the $3 million prize pool and the title of PUBG MOBILE World Champion.

The 2023 PMGC League will take place in several stages through November, from November 2nd – November 26th. Participating teams will consist of qualifiers from various PUBG MOBILE Pro League (PMPL) and PUBG MOBILE Super League (PMSL) regions, and special invites. Fans can experience 6 exciting matches per day with 48 teams going head-to-head to secure their place in the 2023 PMGC Grand Finals.

Only the best of the best will advance to the 2023 PMGC Grand Finals to compete for the PUBG MOBILE World Champion title. From December 8th – December 10th, the 14 teams qualifying from the 2023 PMGC League and 2 special invite teams will take to the stage in Istanbul, Türkiye, for the opportunity to prove themselves the best PUBG MOBILE team on the planet.

It has been a thrilling year for PUBG MOBILE Esports, and fans will no doubt be looking to Vampire Esports for another fantastic performance. The team earned their second consecutive PUBG MOBILE World Invitational win this year, alongside their victory at the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Pro League in Thailand.

However, whilst the team has excelled in major events, they fell behind during the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Regional Clash between South East Asia and South Asia, finishing in 14th place. The return of the 2023 PMGC will be an opportunity for the Thai team to take centre stage once more and enjoy the limelight. This will be no easy feat, as other top talent teams like the Brazilian team Alpha7 Esports and Mongolian team Stalwart Esports will undoubtedly be preparing to take first place.

“The PUBG MOBILE Global Championship is an opportunity for the best of the best to get the recognition they deserve on the grandest stage of them all. This has been a fantastic year for PUBG MOBILE Esports, with record-breaking performances, new strategies, and unprecedented support from the fans. There’s no doubt teams will give it their all for this final major tournament of 2023,” said James Yang, Director of PUBG MOBILE Global Esports.
