Myesports Ventures, the first company to open an eSports arena in Canada, has inked a strategic partnership with GINX Esports TV Canada for the production of eSports content. The partnership comes at a time when the eSports segment is growing at an impressive rate, giving rise to unique investment opportunities. Axion Ventures Inc. ((CVE:AXV), E-Play Digital Inc. (CNSX:EPY), Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (CVE:EGLX) are some of the stocks that continue to elicit strong interest as the electronic sports spectacle continues to take off.
Myesports –GINX Esports Partnership
Under the terms of the agreement, Myesports Ventures is to furnish GINX Esports with educational content pertaining to eSports as well as industry insider interviews. It is also to provide content pertaining to eSports pro player’s features as well as engaging stories from TGS community.
According to Myesports Ventures VP of sales and marketing Spiro Khouri, a partnership with GINX Esports is part of a broader plot of bringing diverse content to eSports viewers across the country.
“Our venue allows us the chance to connect with the gaming community on a level never seen before in this country. By doing so, we will be able to share amazing stories of those individuals and teams through the GINX Esports TV Canada platform,” explained Mr. Khouri.
GINX Esports CEO Don McDonald, on the other hand, expects the strategic partnership to help take the Canadian eSports programming to another level. Currently, GINX TV is the only channel that offers 24/7 broadcast of quality eSports and video gaming content.
ESports growing popularity and acceptance in the multi-billion gaming industry could explain why investors are rushing to gain exposure to the burgeoning sector. While U.S and Asian eSports industries lead the pack, the impact of Canadian eSports stocks is starting to be felt.
Top eSports Stocks
Axion Ventures is one of the stocks that continues to elicit strong interest, thanks to the strides made in pursuit of market share in the multimillion sector. The company has already released its first eSports game dubbed INVICTUS, and continues to work on an array of other games thanks to its partnership with Thailand based True Axion Interactive.
Axion has also confirmed plans to host an inaugural eSports tournament in Thailand as it continues to make inroads in the burgeoning sector. While the stock did underperform in the first half of the year, it has started showing signs of edging higher on strengthening investor confidence.
Enthusiasts Gaming is another company taking the Canadian eSports sector by storm as a digital media company for the online gaming community. The company already boasts of over 80 video gaming websites and clocks over 150 million monthly visitors.
The company has already started hosting eSports tournaments in Canada, including a gaming expo that attracted over 25,000 visitors. The stock is already up by more than 50% for the year and showing signs of trading higher as part of the long-term bullish trend.
EPlay Digital, unlike the other two companies, has carved a niche for itself on the creation of an eSports platform that brings together sports fans and allows them to create fantasy teams. The company is also engaged in the development of mobile games as well as esports and augmented reality games.
