STOCKHOLM, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
The abbreviations GLHF GG are globally known among gamers and
read Good Luck, Have Fun, Good Game. MRG and Gamingzone
Entertainment have chosen these familiar abbreviations to form the
name – GLHF.GG – of their joint global esports venture.
GLHF.GG is a site which focuses on entertainment, streaming,
gamification and betting on esports. The site is expected to go
live in the first quarter 2019.
"We aim to create a community where esports followers across the
world want to spend time," says Niklas Grawé, CEO of GLHF.GG. "With
this great and very relevant name together with our idea on how to
mix streaming, betting and gamification, we have the prerequisites
to attract attention from this rapidly growing
audience."
The market for esports is growing quickly and in certain markets
it is already larger than traditional sports. Only in the Nordics,
there are 650,000 daily followers spending in average 100 minutes a
day on viewing esports.
In May this year, MRG and Gamingzone Entertainment presented
their joint venture in esports. In the fall, Niklas Grawé, Chief
Commercial Officer at the mobile operator Three, was recruited as
CEO.
"GLHF.GG is an essential part in our strategy to expand in the
value chain," says Per Norman, CEO
of MRG. "This esports venture provides us with both significant
knowledge and further growth opportunities."
