Singapore – GosuGamers, a portal for esports information, has announced that it now has a domain in Southeast Asia market Vietnam. The recent expansion, which is part of its growth and future plans, also included Thailand and India.
The move is being supported with new appointments to provide even more expertise for the publication. Hung Do Viet, the general secretary of the Vietnam National Esports Federation, is now part of the Vietnam team as an advisor, while Thong Kai Xuan, a media industry veteran, will operate as the group’s chief operating officer.
“We have been monitoring the region’s interests in esports for a while now, and this latest move makes perfect sense for us as an organisation and for the many fans that are looking for refreshing and quality content,” explains Samson Oh, CEO of GosuGamers.
The digital media said that with the emergence of esports as an important pillar of content in Southeast Asia, especially with India becoming the global leader for mobile games downloads, it looks to provide relevant and localised esports content for said markets with the help of global and local partners.
“Localised content will speak to our audience and relate to them. It is vital to put the interests of our audience at the heart of our content, not just in the region, but also globally,” shared Kai Xuan.
In addition to the latest esports updates and extensive tournament coverage across various popular esports titles such as Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant, and League of Legends, the organisation also leverages data to provide GG (GosuGamers) Live Stats, an innovative feature where users are able to view heat maps and real-time predictions during live tournaments.
The team said it hopes to build on its growing audience by reaching at least 50 million fans by 2023, starting with the three new regions.
