VPGAME is also expected to use feedback from users to optimise and improve the quality of its flagship app, the VPGAME Esports app. The new partnership is the third notable deal for VPGAME, which is a sister organisation of Chinese esports organisation LGD Gaming.
VPGAME has previously partnered with Indoesports.com to improve esports coverage in Indonesia, as well as collaborating with Southeast Asian steaming platform NimoTV to provide coverage of the Indonesian leg of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Season 6.
Esports Insider says: The partnerships looks to be a good opportunity for both organisations to expand their presence and engagement in the SEA region. For Mineski Global it’s another opportunity to further integrate its brand amongst the esports consumer base in Southeast Asia, especially since the opening of its global headquarters in Manila in December last year. For VPGAME, attaching itself to a big brand in the region with a presence across Indonesia, Thailand and The Philippines allows the company to engage with a broad base of fans and get them familiar with the VPGAME Esports app.
