This proprietary esports platform allows publishers and sponsors alike to access “over 55,000,000 esports fans” in Southeast Asia, according to a release. Meta was used as the technology platform for the 2019 Southeast Asia Games, in which esports was a medal event.

Alan Chou, CEO and Co-founder of Meta, commented: “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. 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.
