VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 13, 2023 / ESE Entertainment Inc. ("ESE" or the "Company") (TSXV:ESE)(OTCQX:ENTEF), a global leader in gaming entertainment, announces that it has executed the production of a leading gaming competition, the Teamfight Tactics tournament.

Teamfight Tactics is an auto battler game developed by Riot Games, one of the world's largest video game developers. The game's popularity stems from its availability on mobile devices, which is the most frequently used platform for gaming. The success of the tournament and the growing interest in the game also attract sponsors and partners. Samsung was the title sponsor while Kia was the official partner.

The Samsung Galaxy Ultraliga Championships in Teamfight Tactics, gave some of the best players a chance to advance to the Golden Spatula Cup and the EMEA Rising Legends. The finals were held in a state-of-the-art studio with a live audience.

The production executed by ESE also utilized Augmented Reality ("AR") enhancements and cutting-edge production techniques. The resulting production included a video stream which was published on Riot Games' official, global Teamfight Tactics channel on the Twitch.tv and YouTube platforms. A European broadcast was also produced and available on Polsat Games channels including linear TV.

"It is a pleasure to expand our business with Riot Games, which is one of the largest video game developers in the world. Our emphasis on using innovative AR production techniques not only enhances the viewer's experience but also sets a new standard in gaming media. Furthermore, it's a testament to the production quality that matches are being featured on global broadcasts. Our goal is to continue establishing a global footprint, and implementing these new technologies will expedite our plans." said Konrad Wasiela, CEO of ESE.
