But the interest in attracting indie developers indicates a different strategic direction that pivots away from reliance on big-budget competitions.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925034ecb3\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re looking for more games, and we&#8217;re looking for more game developers to work with,\u201d <strong>Philip H\u00fcbner, Chief Business Development Officer at Challengermode<\/strong>, said of his presence at BIG Festival. \u201cAnd so, for us, it was a matter of getting to know a couple of indie developers, a couple of publishers that are active in this space, and see if there is any game that we can support at a competitive level.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925034f23f\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re not trying to sell them on hosting a million-dollar competition, but rather building a community around the games through competitive play,\u201d said H\u00fcbner.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925034f7eb\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Visibility can be a challenge for Challengermode, though. H\u00fcbner admitted that the company struggles to market its services through tournaments it runs. For now, he said they\u2019re relying on a face-to-face client acquisition strategy. \u201cWe go out, we find partners that we think are relevant that we can do cool things with, and we grow together with them. It&#8217;s a straightforward approach. And that&#8217;s why events like BIG and being in Sao Paulo are such important things for us. It helps us follow that strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Generic-Promo1024-512px-1.png\" alt=\"esports payments and monetisation report\" class=\"wp-image-129733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Generic-Promo1024-512px-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Generic-Promo1024-512px-1-medium.png 300w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Generic-Promo1024-512px-1-medium_large.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Payments and Monetization of Esports whitepaper was a collaboration between Nuvei and ESI. <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/esi-marketplace-reports\">Click here<\/a> to read the whitepaper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925034fe9e\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Therefore, direct contact with potential customers is necessary for Challengermode\u2019s commercial development. The company has employees based in Latin America, and is even considering opening offices if the growth justifies the cost. So far, according to H\u00fcbner, Brazil is the most promising market. \u201cThe results are that there&#8217;s a huge appetite [in Latin America]. Maybe more so than in most other regions, actually, in just playing and competing,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925035045b\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>As many in the scene will tell you, esports is more than just a competitive endeavour in Brazil: it\u2019s used to <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/esportsinsider\/docs\/theesportsjournal11_1_\/40\">overcome social challenges and economic circumstance<\/a>. Garena\u2019s mobile battle royale Free Fire, for example, became a way for players in Brazil to overcome the poverty rife in the poorer regions of South America. Due to the game\u2019s accessibility, popularity and competitive scene, it became a way out for many \u2014 which gives fans an extra reason to compete.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d92503509d8\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Challengermode, therefore, wants to support the region\u2019s competitive drive. It aims to grow its status among publishers and local tournament organisers as the technology they need to develop their esports scene.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d9250350f5f\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>\u201cPowering esports from the software level, that&#8217;s the goal. And for us, that means making it as easy as possible for players and making it as easy as possible for organisers to host competitions, and integrating with more and more game developers,\u201d said H\u00fcbner.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d92503515a2\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Challengermode is ambitiously targeting the end of 2023 to have achieved most of the objectives set for the region. The company wants to close more high-profile deals in the upcoming months, and even aims to convince tournament organisers that already have their own technology to choose to use Challengermode instead.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d9250351b69\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>However, positioning the platform as a way for developers to promote games through community engagement remains the primary goal.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d925035210a\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>\u201cSo I think that the most important thing for us is that we help these independent games connect and engage with their community until we see that, by putting their games onto our platform, it kind of starts to get viral. People start to create their own tournaments. And this, of course, increases the engagement with the game,\u201d H\u00fcbner added.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d92503526d8\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>The work has already started. In November, <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2022\/11\/challengermode-partners-with-pubg-mobile-launches-esports-fund-for-tournament-organisers\">Challengermode became the official esports partner of PUBG Mobile<\/a>, integrating the game into its platform and launching a fund for independent tournament organisers to promote the game \u2014 an example of how Challengermode aims to take on the challenge.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image credit: Challengermode The \u2018Best International Games Festival\u2019 is the largest convention for independent games in Latin America, and there, amidst the fray of aspiring and emerging developers, was Challengermode.
