The largest Southeast Asian e-sports tournament of the year, the SEA-Invitational 2020 will see national athletes compete in three major titles – PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile (PUBG Mobile), Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) ahead of e-sports’ inclusion in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam next year. The company said 10 countries, over 400 teams and 3,000 athletes are taking part.
To bring the action to more people, SISTIC will partner with Razer to stream the playoffs and championships for the SEA-Invitational on its newly-launched streaming platform. SISTIC Live supports broadcasts and video-on-demand of art, sports, cultural and entertainment productions.
Fans who sign up to view selected Razer SEA-Invitational matches on SISTIC Live stand to win prizes such as Razer Gold (virtual credits for games and entertainment), Razer Silver (Razer's loyalty points for gamers, redeemable for Razer products and third-party products) and Razer peripherals.
“As new forms of entertainment develop, audiences adopt new formats to be entertained. We are remodelling how SISTIC can support both physical and online events. We are extremely keen to explore e-sports, a genre that enjoys strong online viewership and live streaming globally,” said Joe Ow, CEO, SISTIC.
“The Razer SEA-Invitational is a great opportunity for us to showcase the quality of SISTIC Live’s platform and reach out to a wider audience.”
