Based in Singapore, ESPL and its online platform focus on amateur and grassroots competitions across a range of mobile titles including Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG Mobile, and Brawl Stars.
Michael Broda, CEO and Co-Founder of ESPL, also commented: “Esports is the fastest growing industry in the digital age of entertainment. Warner Music has been active in the ever-changing landscape of today’s world and so this strategic partnership will bring a value proposition to both players and brands across our global network that we are confident will elevate amateur esports to another level”
Esports Insider says: Joining forces with Warner Music Asia is certainly a statement of intent from ESPL which looks to encourage cross-pollination between music and esports industries. The deal is also a solid partnership for the record label as it allows Warner Music Asia’s artists to gain more exposure.
