Millennial Esports Subsidiary Stream Hatchet Premieres Breakthrough Measurement Offering for the StarCraft II Intel Extreme M...
27 Février 2018 - 3:07PM
Millennial Esports Corp. ("Millennial" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:GAME) today announced that
subsidiary Stream Hatchet had successfully completed the roll-out
of a new offering that, for the first time, provides sponsors of
Esports events and leagues with an analytics solution that utilizes
image recognition technology to mine, measure, and monetize sponsor
exposure. The offering was first deployed in support of the Intel
Extreme Masters PyeongChang tournament, an event recognized by the
IOC and held in advance of the opening of the 2018 Winter Olympic
Games.
Global sports and entertainment agency Wasserman
joined forces with Stream Hatchet for this project, elevating its
analytics solution within the Esports space through Wasserman’s
unmatched capabilities in sponsorship performance measurement and
years of experience in providing actionable insights that maximize
the value of sport sponsorships. Wasserman will provide Stream
Hatchet with exclusive image recognition and exposure analysis that
tracks the quantity, quality and value of each sponsor
placement.
“We developed this offering to provide
valuations of traditional sports sponsorship to the world of
Esports where advertisers and sponsors don’t yet have clarity,”
said Jake Phillips, President of Business Development at Stream
Hatchet. “This tool also offers event organizers and tournament
hosts, like ESL, a way to accurately price the sponsorship
packages they’re creating.”
On top of providing an analytics solution for
Intel’s investment as title sponsor & operator of ESL’s Extreme
Masters tournament, this offering also delivered a wealth of
analysable and actionable data. Insights generated by the report
include the fact that Intel received total exposure of more than 14
hours over the course of the 25.5 hours of total gameplay, while
also receiving exposure in more than half of the livestreams
throughout the three days of the tournament.
“It is an exciting time to be in Esports,” said
Wasserman Senior Vice President, Properties, Zack Sugarman. “We are
thrilled to bring our 20-plus years of sponsorship knowledge to
Esports and work with Stream Hatchet to help elevate their
analytics and reporting offering.”
At the Intel Extreme Masters PyeongChang,
eighteen players representing regions from around the world
competed for the $150,000 prize pool from February 5-7 in a
first-of-its-kind tournament featuring Blizzard Entertainment’s
iconic real-time strategy game, “StarCraft* II.” After three
days of competition, Canadian Sasha “Scarlett” Hostyn, the only
female competitor to qualify for the tournament, secured the
victory as the IEM PyeongChang champion, edging out one of the
world’s best players, Kim "sOs" Yoo Jin, in an upset victory.
