("Guild Esports", "Guild", or "the Company")
Guild Esports partners with esports trading platform eNDX
Guild Esports PLC (LSE: GILD; OTCQB: GULDF), a global
gaming-focused media business, is pleased to announce that it has
entered a one-year rolling partnership with eNDX, an esports
player-focused virtual trading platform, to add players from the
Company's Counter-Strike rosters into eNDX's tradable pool.
Guild will receive a percentage of revenue generated from the
trading of Guild players on the site. The partnership is estimated
to be worth up to six figures based on projected user acquisition
and trading volume.
The eNDX platform enables users to trade virtual shares in
professional Counter-Strike esports players that have agreed to be
featured on the platform. As a result of the partnership Guild's
professional rosters in the esport will be incorporated into the
eNDX trading platform, allowing fans to buy and sell shares in
their favourite Guild Counter-Strike players. Both of Guild's
Counter-Strike teams will be added, the Guild Eagles and Guild's
all-female Counter-Strike team.
eNDX's trading and fan-engagement platform is already utilised
by several established esports organisations such as Cloud9, BIG,
Team Singularity and Endpoint. Guild is eNDX's first esports
partner to add both its male and female Counter-Strike rosters to
the eNDX platform, enhancing Guild's visibility with new
audiences.
Given that the audience size of the Counter-Strike Paris Major
2023 peaked at 1.5 million viewers (source: Esports Charts , 2023 )
, the partnership also represents a significant opportunity for
Guild to leverage eNDX's platform to expand its reach and connect
with Counter-Strike fans. This will include, in addition to
European audiences, fans from esports growth territories and
regions including Latin American states such as Argentina and
Brazil where the platform has recorded strong growth. Guild's
social media following in LatAm is in excess of one million
spanning Guild and Guild talent channels and the platform's strong
penetration in this region is expected to facilitate the Company's
further engagement with these fans.
With a cap of 21 million shares available per athlete, the eNDX
platform offers a finite and secure trading experience where users
aged 18 and above can actively buy, sell and collect digital
versions of Counter-Strike players.
Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports , said: "Our partnership with
eNDX establishes Guild's presence within the esports player trading
landscape, as we become the first esports organisation to introduce
both their male and female rosters onto this platform. As well as
allowing users to trade in the future performance of their
favourite players, eNDX provides a unique opportunity for driving
fan engagement. We are delighted to see our exciting players added
to this platform which offers a new avenue for fan participation
within the overall esports experience."
