Esports has quickly grown from a niche market to a mainstream phenomenon. The term “esports” describes the competitive gaming industry in which individuals or teams will compete against each other. Some of these competitions are remote, while others are in-person in massive venues filled with professional gamers. Surprisingly, major esports competitions have earned more viewership than many traditional sports, catapulting the market into a US$11 billion industry. Moreover, the esports industry isn’t going away anytime soon. Significant gaming and internet media companies have joined in, including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Activision-Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), and even Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
However, industry experts generally agree that esports as a stand-alone business just doesn’t work. While some disagree, most esports companies have begun diversifying their offerings to monetize this new phenomenon further. The new dominant view is that esports is more of a customer acquisition journey for other assets. As a result, companies with a robust esports-related portfolio are setting themselves up for substantial growth as the industry continues to explode.
The company began by acquiring the competitive esports organization RixGG. RixGG is a UK-based company fielding teams in “League of Legends: Wild Rift” and “Valorant,” two popular games in the esports world.

Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions, and realme, the fastest growing smartphone brand, announced that the newly launched realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition incorporates Pixelworks X7 visual processor to dramatically upgrade the gaming and video experience with advanced technologies, including a ground-breaking ultra-low latency MotionEngine ®, low power super-resolution technology and highly evolved adaptive display functions. Additionally, Pixelworks collaborated with gaming ecosystem partners and realme to lead in the adoption a brand-new frame rate optimization mode in the latest version of One Piece Fighting Path, a 3D Action Role-Playing game recently released in Mainland China, to provide an exclusive and ultra-silky-smooth gaming experience for realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition users.
The realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition incorporates the newly launched Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and is powered by the latest X7 visual processor from Pixelworks. The smartphone features a 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2412×1080 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Powered by a 5000mAh dual-cell battery, it supports 100W fast charging and extended battery life. The smartphone's appearance was crafted by Jae Jung , a renowned fashion designer. From the high-performance hardware to its unique 'travel trunk' design, the device is deserving of being titled a master's work.
This smartphone also offers two custom frame rate optimization modes for the latest One Piece Fighting Path mobile game released in Mainland China: Low Power 120fps Mode and Premium Picture Quality 120fps Mode. Powered by the perfect coupling of Pixelworks' rendering accelerator SDK and the Pixelworks X7 visual processor, both modes ensure ultra-smooth visual quality of up to 120fps while simultaneously emphasizing low power consumption. The Low Power 120fps Mode is specifically designed to boost low frame rate games to higher frame rate of up to 4x of its original, and the Premium Picture Quality 120fps Mode makes high frame rate games run more stable with reduced power consumption.
In addition, the Pixelworks X7 visual processor brings innovative visual display qualities to the realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition with the following advanced capabilities:
Ultra-Low Latency MotionEngine ® Technology – Driven by brand-new algorithms and innovative architecture, the technology supports ultra-low latency frame interpolation that can double/triple/quadruple the frame rate of original content up to 120fps while maintaining comparable picture quality. Further, the MotionEngine ensures minimal latency of less than 10ms, which is well beyond the range of human perception, to achieve what's known as Imperceptible Frame Interpolation Technology . Additionally, optimized algorithms offload processing from the GPU to avoid overheating and sustain game play of high frame rate content for extended periods of time. The Imperceptible Frame Interpolation Technology has been optimized for over 20 mobile games, including Game for Peace, Honor of Kings, Genshin Impact, QQ Speed and the latest release of One Piece Fighting Path in Mainland China. In addition, frame interpolation technology has been adapted for compatibility with popular video APPs including QQLive, iQIYI, YOUKU and bilibili.
Low Power Super-Resolution – Pixelworks X7 visual processor leverages newly advanced algorithms to improve picture quality by boosting content resolution from low resolution to high resolution at low power consumption. With the boosted resolution, the sharp and enhanced outlines of game characters and scenes look more authentic and smoother than the ones in the original resolution. This mode is now applied in Game for Peace and Genshin Impact , users can enjoy unprecedented ultra-clear picture quality of the two games on realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition.
AI Always-On HDR – Based on low-power AI display functions, this technology utilizes scene detection to intelligently adjust display parameters under a variety of lighting conditions, resulting in the optimal HDR quality of each frame together with great eye comfort. This Always-On HDR mode is available in QQLive, iQIYI, YOUKU and bilibili.
Absolute Color Accuracy – Every realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition smartphone is factory calibrated with Pixelworks' patented and high-efficiency calibration technology, producing an average Delta E value less than 1, which enables consumers to enjoy real-to-life color for all apps and content spanning the sRGB, DCI-P3 color gamuts. Leveraging the 3D LUT method, Pixelworks visual processing technology conducts advanced color calibration to comprehensibly and precisely manage numerous display attributes, making the color displayed from the screen look as vivid as what human eyes detect in the '3D space', regardless of ambient lighting conditions. By ensuring the display's gamma value is always at 2.2 (best standard tested by image and video processing professionals), Pixelworks technology guarantees the most true-to-life experience for human eyes in different color modes and lighting conditions.
Eye Comfort Modes – Pixelworks' innovative DC Dimming solution dynamically adjusts the display's current to reduce the screen flickering frequently associated with conventional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming. In dimly lit environments, the finely tuned, automatic luminance control in the smartphone enables ultra-smooth display brightness transitions with an unprecedented 16,384 gradients of brightness. This mode offers consumers superior clarity and enhanced eye comfort whether in bright or dark viewing conditions.
"realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition is a master piece to challenge the pinnacle of industrial design," said Chase Xu, Vice President of realme. "It's our constant pursuit to bring trendsetting user experience to consumers in both performance and design appearance. With the prosperity of the mobile game market, users are putting forward higher requirements for the gaming performance of smartphones. Boosting low frame rate games to high frame rate with less power consumption and minimal latency is crucial for achieving breakthrough mobile gaming performance. As the first smartphone to incorporate the Pixelworks X7 visual processor, realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition is fully equipped to deliver such performance. With the cooperation of our gaming ecosystem partners, we are also very glad to launch the customized frame rate optimization modes for the latest One Piece Fighting Path mobile game released in Mainland China. We are excited to provide more high frame rate mobile game options to our users, and we expect they will enjoy the combination of a silky-smooth gaming experience and extended play time."
"From incubation, pre-research, production to the official launch, it took several years for us to complete the development journey for our One Piece Fighting Path project." One Piece Fighting Path game development team mentioned, "To live up to the expectation of One Piece animation fans, we have tried to take everything into consideration, from the storyline reproduction and gameplay design to the visual display, striving to elevate the entire gaming experience to an unmatched level. Picture quality and fluency are fundamental attributes to deeply engage users in a game. Truly excellent visual display of mobile games requires high quality content and high-performance device. We are glad to come together with Pixelworks, realme and other gaming ecosystem partners to combine our collective resources and deliver the ground-breaking balance of high frame rate gaming and low power consumption for mobile gaming. We hope that the optimized frame rate mode will bring users a more immersive 120fps One Piece world with sustained enjoyment of a more smooth and stable gaming experience."

The firm has been heavily focused on game development and currently has a valuation of $50 million backed by KuCoin.
Superpower Squad (SPS), an emerging blockchain technology company, announced the preliminary internal testing results of its namesake, upcoming third-person shooter game built on the BNB Chain that incorporates elements of MOBA, RPG, and Battle Royale. Within a week of its commencement, more than 5,000 players joined SPS, which is available on Android and iOS and can be found on their respective app stores.
The internal testing will run from June 20 to July 20 . Simultaneous to its inception, SPS' social pages have seen incredible growth, with over 37,000 Twitter followers, 29,000 Discord members, and 26,000 Telegram members (with over 1,000 messages per day) at the time of publication.
Regarding the results, Olivia, Representative of SPS, commented: " We are thrilled that over 5000 players have started playing SPS on Android in less than 1 week. The community traction, as well as feedback, have been nothing short of magnificent. We remain well-funded and committed to our goals of bringing SPS to iOS and having the play-to-earn economy online by the end of the year. "
The development team remains on track to incorporate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as playable in-game characters by September. Another main objective in its roadmap includes listing its native $SQUAD governance and $ECG play-to-earn game tokens, by the end of December, subject to market conditions. Eventually, SPS plans to introduce decentralized governance into its dual-token in-game economy by creating a Superpower DAO. Earlier this month, SPS received an investment from KuCoin, putting the firm's valuation at $50 million .

Faced with both infinite possibilities and challenges, Generation Alpha may be better called Generation Infinite
- Generation Alpha the next generational cohort coming up after Gen Zs, who today are roughly 12 and under is facing a world that is infinitely harder than the one their parents grew up in but they also recognize infinite possibilities, according to a new report, Gen Alpha: Generation Infinite from Cassandra Big Village's insights and strategy group that studies trendsetting young consumers. The report, which is the first comprehensive examination of this age group as a generational cohort, reveals much about this generation, where change has been a constant.
"The iPad was a game changer. The Pandemic was a game changer. TikTok is a game changer. The incredible speed with which the world moves today often means the game changes before all the pieces can even be put on the board of the last game. And this is the world Gen Alphas were born into," said Kathy Sheehan , Senior Vice President, Cassandra. "A world with technological and scientific breakthroughs that prior generations could not even imagine. But also, a world that sometimes feels like it is on the edge of social, political, and environmental collapse. When the outcome of our entire world order is anyone's guess, Gen Alpha's well-being depends upon their ability to ride these waves of chaos."
Technology and being digitally native plays a large role in how Generation Alpha sees themselves and the world around them. In fact, 55% of 7-12 year olds use social media and 76% of those surveyed believe technology's good outweighs its bad. Technology has become Gen Alpha's tool of choice, putting it at the center of everything they do, including learning with 77% of Gen Alpha's saying they learn best when they use technology. With that in mind, it is not surprising that 82% of Gen Alpha agrees they can figure most things out if they have access to technology.
While Gen Alpha clearly values humor, kindness and creativity in themselves and others, when asked how they introduce themselves, 58% of them said as a gamer with gaming topping the list of favorite pastimes for them. To further drive the point home that social media and technology is shaping the generation, 64% of Gen Alpha would rather be a YouTube / Social Media Influencer than the President of the United States . But social media is not all the generation cares about. Mental health also weighs on the minds of Gen Alpha. 59% of Gen Alpha agree that mental health is a big issue and 62% say their school should focus more on mental health education than physical education.
"The market has been calling them Gen Alpha, but at Cassandra, we see them as so much more than simply the next generation following Zs," continued Sheehan. "Generation Alpha is the most socially aware generation we have studied. Between living their most critical years in terms of development through a global pandemic and carrying the weight of previous generations and their decisions on their shoulders, they are coming of age in an infinitely complex world full of infinite challenges. Despite this, they exhibit kindness, empathy and fluidity and the belief that they have also been handed what they see as the answer to a lot of these challenges – unmatched technological access and ability from a very young age. And with this comes infinite possibilities. That is why we believe that Generation Infinite might be a more apt name for this next cohort."
Alphas take ownership over their identity. They are curious and openly challenge outdated notions around gender and sexuality and everything else. 84% of Gen Alphas surveyed believe a person's pronouns should be respected and fight for the right for people to be able to express who they are. Do not assume anything about Gen Alpha. They will let you know who they are.
Gen Alpha: Generation Infinite is the culmination of research that was conducted this spring among children, their parents and early childhood experts. Cassandra fielded a quantitative survey among a nationally representative sample of 1,000 US parents of Gen Alphas, and 700 older Gen Alphas (7-12 years old) along with expert interviews, Gen Alpha and Parents focus groups, and Teacher and School Counselor groups.
