Tallinn, Estonia - May 13, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Competitive Video Gaming – known as Esports – is becoming increasingly popular year after year. In the latest report, market researcher Newzoo predicts esports global revenues will reach $905.6m in 2018, up 38.2% on last year, and $1.65bn in 2021. In its early years esports sponsorship was largely endemic brands associated with gaming or computer peripherals, but more recently large mainstream brands such as Mercedes, Gillette, Red Bull and many more are getting involved.
The esports audience is very valuable to mainstream advertisers. They are mostly in their 20s and 30s, passionate, very engaged, and with a higher than average disposable income. As audiences for traditional sports are declining, more fans are turning to esports. According to an LEK Consulting Survey, already 40% of millennials prefer esports to traditional sports. Mainstream brands are starting to follow.
However, there are a number of issues facing the esports marketing world.
Complexity of the Market – esports can be complicated for brands new to the market. There are several game titles, genres, leagues, teams and tournaments and it can be difficult to understand the best channels to reach the desired target audience.
Scale – Esports revolves mostly around major tournaments, unlike traditional sports where smaller local competitions and league games happen frequently. As the scale of these increases, it is difficult for brands and advertisers with more limited budgets to get involved. Likewise, it is becoming more difficult for smaller tournaments and teams, and streamers with smaller audiences to gain access to the large advertising budgets available to their more successful counterparts.
Agencies and Intermediaries – These complicate the marketing landscape, fragmenting the industry and further reducing access to participants with lower budgets. Efficiency and return on investment is reduced by the number of “middlemen” involved in the industry.
Lack of Data – As a relatively new industry which is changing all the time mean it is difficult to get accurate and consistent data to measure the success of marketing campaigns.
EIPlatform is being developed from the ground up to provide a solution to these issues by facilitating effective, direct interaction between brands, participants and the audience. One of the key aims of EIPlatform is to replace agencies with a single point of entry to the market for more personalized and efficient direct marketing. Security of transactions is a key element in the development of the platform, and one that is sadly missing from the current esports market.
The platform will simplify the current fragmented market and allow access for smaller teams to the large advertising budgets involved at the top level of the industry. At the same time, it will allow all sizes of new advertisers and brands to access the audience much more easily.
EIPlatform’s advanced data management and analysis, made possible by blockchain and smart contracts, will allow brands and advertisers to understand and target their desired audience segment more effectively. They will be able to measure the performance of their investments and identify new opportunities within the esports marketplace.
The EIPlatform currently has no competition in esports. With the team’s technical ability and unique understanding of the problems faced by those in the esports industry, they are confident that the concepts underlying the project are solid. The team is headed by Sergey Nevodnichiy, the founder and CEO of Russia’s most successful esport team, Team Empire. He says, “The scope of the EIPlatform is ambitious, but there is no doubt that the EIP team have the right combination of abilities to succeed in this venture. EIPlatform has the potential to be a game-changer for the esports marketing industry.”
Introducing the EMI Token
EIPlatform will be built on a blockchain system and all payments within the system will be via smart contracts using EMI. Smart contracts will provide the security and transparency for all transactions within the system that is crucial to such a project. EIPlatform is built on Ethereum architecture, chosen for its stability and security.
EMI tokens are priced at 0.1USD and in total, 880,000,000 will be released.
The esports industry is digital, making it the ideal place to use smart contracts and blockchain technology. All transactions between entities within the EIPlatform ecosphere will be made using EMI. Consequently, demand is expected to be high and continue to rise as the project approaches completion towards the end of 2018, and launches in Q1, 2019. The full roadmap is available on the EIPlatform website.
EIPlatform is proud to announce the launch of the Pre-Sale Phase of the EMI token on May 14. This will run in 2 phases:
Phase 1 is from May 14-23 and will feature 25% bonus to encourage early investors.
Phase 2 of the presale phase will run from 24-30 May and will include 20% bonus.

'It's not that we like Seoul': Young Koreans explain why they leave their hometowns
"Why do you insist on living in Seoul? You could just live in your own region." Young people from outside the capital hear that question often, and they say it misses the point. About 30,000 of them move to Seoul each year in net terms for university or work, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics. The regional antagonism that split their parents' generation between the Jeolla provinces in Korea's southwest and the Gyeongsang provinces in the southeast has faded. In its place, the concentration of opportunity in Seoul alone has deepened their marginalization. Eight participants in a roundtable discussion described what that gap looks like from the other end of the country. Regional prejudice survives as mockery Participant 7: "The regional rivalry between Gyeongsang and Jeolla doesn't seem that strong among people in their 20s these days." Participant 6: "There isn't the same level of it as among people in their 50s and 60s. But I have encountered some anti-Jeolla sentiment. Some friends whose parents are from Jeolla make such comments even more openly." Participant 1: "I've har
Korea abolishes Prosecutors' Office after 78 years, putting new criminal justice system to test
Korea on Friday abolished the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office after 78 years and launched two new state agencies dividing its investigative and prosecutorial powers, ushering in one of the most sweeping changes to the country’s criminal justice system in decades. Under the new framework taking effect Friday, investigations will be divided among the newly established Serious Crimes Investigation Agency (SCIA), the police and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO). The new Prosecution Service will review cases, decide whether to indict suspects, request warrants from courts based on applications from investigative agencies and conduct prosecutions in court. But the launch of the new system leaves several unanswered questions: How agencies will handle cases when their jurisdictions overlap, whether prosecutors can exercise sufficient oversight without investigative authority of their own and whether the new agencies are adequately staffed and equipped to take over complex major-crime investigations. In the days leading up to the overhaul, prosecutor’s office
President requests confirmation hearing for nominee to head new investigation agency
President Lee Jae Myung has approved a request for a parliamentary confirmation hearing for his nominee to become the inaugural chief of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency (SCIA), a presidential spokesperson said Friday. The announcement came as the SCIA was set to launch later in the day to take over prosecutors' functions of investigating serious crimes as part of the Lee administration's prosecution reform. Lee's approval of a document requesting a parliamentary hearing for SCIA chief nominee Kim Ji-yong indicates the president might be taking steps to officially appoint him. The president nominated Kim early last month at the recommendation of the interior minister, but suspicions have since been raised within the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, including over claims that Kim had once opposed prosecution reform. The presidential office said the previous day that Cheong Wa Dae will soon submit a request to the National Assembly for a parliamentary confirmation hearing for Kim. It said it had carried out an additional verification process on Kim but found that his nomination shou
Busan to launch 2nd rescue attempt for shark Bukangi
A second rescue operation will be carried out Friday afternoon to return “Bukangi,” a shark that has been stranded in an artificial waterway at Busan North Port Waterfront Park for 15 days, to the open sea. A joint rescue team of Busan city officials and other relevant agencies is slated to begin the second rescue attempt at 3:30 p.m. The operation will involve pulling a custom-made 50-meter-long, 6.8-meter-high net to draw the shark toward the open sea from the fourth pedestrian bridge spanning the waterfront park’s waterway. Two boats and 10 personnel will be deployed for the operation. The net will be stretched from one end of the waterway to the other to block any gaps through which Bukang could escape, before the team slowly moves toward the open sea. One boat will tow the center of the net, while five people will be positioned at each end of the waterway to hold the net and keep pace with the shark. Behind the net, another boat equipped with a water pump will create foam on the water to guide Bukangi toward the open sea. Once the shark passes through the fifth and sixth pedes
