GRID Esports and Live Media Esports Entertainment have teamed up to offer data and other services for titles including CS:GO and Dota 2 in Latin America. 

Live Media eSports Entertainment is one of the drivers of esports growth in Latin America, having founded Liga Pro Gaming (LPG) in Peru in 2018 – as the country’s first dedicated esports league. LPG currently offers competitive gaming for Clash Royale, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Fortnite, and StarCraft. 

Now sponsored by Spanish telecommunications company Movistar, and known as Movistar Liga Pro Gaming, it recently announced plans to expand into Bolivia, Chile, and Colombia, and add League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and Teamfight Tactics.  

Discussing the partnership Vice President of Sponsorships at GRID, Charles Hanley-Nickolls, said:

“Our vision to bring all esports data to a wider audience becomes much clearer with partnerships with the likes of Live Media. Our mutually aligned goals and the subsequent agreement marks a giant step towards providing the Latin American audience with the data and products they expect.”

While CEO of Live Media eSports Entertainment, Luis Carrillo Pinto, added:

“Unlike other market proposals in Latin American esports, we understand each country’s and its community’s idiosyncrasy. We know which esports work and which do not. To address this, we have managed the licenses with the most important publishers and we have the talents and influencers who are really followed by the fans in each specific region.

“Now our partnership with a company of GRID’s pedigree we can bring our competitive data to our amazing fans and give them new ways to interact with their favorite players, teams, and leagues.”

In April we reported GRID had partnered with UK-based esports betting site Midnite for #HomeSweetHome – a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament.

AYO.NEWS says:

With data playing an ever more important role in esports, this partnership stands to significantly boost the esports infrastructure available to the Latin American community, and again shows Live Media is determined to follow through on its ambitious plans for the region.
