ESPAT Media has covered a range of esports events, including the 2020 League of Legends World Championship, several Call of Duty League Home Series events, and the 2019 PUBG Global Championship.
Mario Prosperino, Co-Founder of ESPAT, also spoke on the collaboration: “ESPAT is providing digital media rights holders a passive revenue stream, with real-time global accessibility for the editorial and commercial user. Content derived from the lens of a team is unmatched, from behind the scenes at the facility to the adrenaline from a live event, we look forward to supporting the South East Asia region and being the distribution platform for Talon Esports.”
Talon Esports is not the first organisation ESPAT has joined forces with. In 2020, the media group has worked with Spanish organisation Team Queso and the Florida Mutineers Call of Duty League franchise.
Esports Insider says: ESPAT working with organisations to build a library of content is nothing out of the ordinary, however, the partnership still adds to the firm’s portfolio of esports clients whilst also enhancing Talon’s media capabilities.
