Meta.us, a leading gaming technology company, signs partnership agreement with ESE for expansion of technology platform

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 29, 2020 /CNW/ - ESE Entertainment Inc. (TSXV: ESE) (the "Company" or "ESE"), a Europe based technology company with global reach and valuable assets in the gaming sector, particularly related to esports, is pleased to announce it has entered into a partnership agreement with meta.us Pte Ltd. ("Meta"), a Singapore based technology company.

The services make ESE a key partner and operator for Meta. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, ESE will manage a European rollout for the Meta platform. In addition, ESE will have exclusivity for the platform in certain European regions. There will be a 50/50 income split on profits resulting from certain business under the partnership. Furthermore, Meta will support ESE in a South East Asia focused expansion of ESE's business.

Founded by gaming industry veterans, Meta produces esports events through its proprietary esports platform enabling sponsors and publishers to access the over 55,000,000 esports fans in SEA. Esports events on the Meta platform generate upwards of 1,000,000 impressions per month. Meta's scalable technology platform has 30,000+ competitive gamer profiles across 25 countries and 18 games, where competitive gamers use Meta to find teammates and compete in tournaments. Meta was used as the technology platform as part of the qualifiers for the 2019 Southeast Asia Games, where esports was a medal event for the first time in an International Olympic Committee (IOC) sanctioned event. Working with major corporate partners, Meta aims to fulfill its vision of helping the next generation of esports talent develop and be discovered.

"We started Meta.us to help in the development and discovery of esports talent. We want to give gamers— regardless of their status or experience— a chance to grow and to go as far as their talent and hard work can take them," commented Meta.us co-founder and CEO Alan Chou. Alan continued, "Working with ESE Entertainment is a fantastic opportunity for Meta.us to expand our business. The size and power of the esports audience is undeniable, especially in Europe. ESE Entertainment, with one of the strongest management teams in Europe, is well positioned to guide us through a major expansion. We look forward to expanding our business relationship with ESE in the future."

"Asia is one of the largest markets in the world for gaming and esports. The partnership with Meta.us is a major step as we enter the Asian market. We are confident this technology expansion will allow us to generate new revenue," commented Konrad Wasiela, CEO of ESE Entertainment. "One of our main growth drivers is expanding revenue through a scalable technology platform. Our new business partnership with Meta is just one example of how we can expand gaming revenue in the global market."
