Paris, July 25, 2017 - O'GamingTV, owned by Alt Tab Productions, and Millennial Esports Corp. are pleased to announce the signing of a financial agreement for 2.5 million euros. Millennial Esports Corp., a Toronto-based publicly listed international Esports organization that deals with key actors in the Esports industry, take a stake in O'GamingTV, a French WebTV dedicated to Esports and producer of Esports events.
By becoming a shareholder of O'GamingTV, Millennial Esports Corp. will support the growth of the company. This minority shareholding of 2.5 million euros in O'GamingTV will allow the development of the company's activities. Thus, O'GamingTV will diversify its content with new original shows and will also be working on the production of new Esports events in some of the biggest French venues. The management of O'GamingTV remains in the hands of its founders who will continue to leave their mark on the world of Esports with the same authenticity that they’ve been known for over the past 7 years.
Our story begins in 2010, when Pomf, Thud, Chips, Noi and some friends met up in one’s bedroom to commentate on a competitive game of Starcraft, an online video game. The pleasure and fun shared between the friends is apparent, the game is strategic and the tone is relaxed. Before they knew it, more than 400,000 people started coming each month to share their passion for video games and competitive games' commentary.
A craze such as O'GamingTV was subsequently founded in order to broadcast and commentate online on the best Esports games on the planet, all the while keeping the spirit and quick-wittedness that characterizes them. At the same time, O'GamingTV started creating its first events and original competitions: Iron Squid at the Grand Rex, Tales of the Lane at the Casino Paris, Nation Wars at the Trianon and many other successful events that represented a total 12,000 tickets sold and a cumulated audience of 8 million online viewers.
As precursors in the Esports Industry, O'GamingTV managed to make their events a success by broadcasting them live on internet in more than 10 languages. O'GamingTV became a true high quality talent-gathering label, opening the door to mainstream media in 2014 and to the French government in 2016 with its participation in the creation of the Fédération Française Esport of which the company is a member.
As a Partner and official broadcaster for the biggest Esports competitions on the main Esports games - Worlds League of Legends, WCS and GSL on Starcraft 2, Overwatch Cup, Major on Counter Strike GO, The International on Dota2 etc. and also as an events organizer with more than 2.2 million viewers each month on its Twitch and Youtube channels, O'GamingTV would like to thank Millennial Esports Corp. for its commitment to the vision and ambition of the company. It is important to note that Millennial Esports Corp. wishes to deepen its commitment to O'GamingTV in order to sustain the development of its projects.
O'GamingTV is a passion gamers’ adventure, driven by the passion for video games and Esports. Starting from 5 friends in a bedroom, O'GamingTV now has 5 channels that broadcast live on the internet and are hosted on the Twitch platform. Its founders wish more than ever to develop this discipline which already counts more than 150 million aficionados worldwide.
