The Company’s partner, Allied Esports, a global esports entertainment company and a subsidiary of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE), drew 1.7 million unique viewers for the VIE.gg CS:GO Legend Series tournament, which ended Sunday, September 13. The two-week competition, which also generated over 1 million hours watched and reached 98,000 peak viewers, is the most-watched Legend Series event since the tournament series was created in 2017.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the viewership numbers for the VIE.gg CS:GO Legend Series, a new benchmark for Allied Esports and a great introduction of our VIE.gg brand to fans around the world,” commented Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. “With a 400% increase in new users and 300% increase in deposits, we’ve clearly demonstrated there is demand for our platform. This was a great start to our marketing efforts, and we’re excited to pursue similar opportunities moving forward.”
Each broadcast during the VIE.gg CS:GO Legend Series tournament prominently featured a wagering component, including dynamic live odds that were on display for the entirety of each match.
“This tournament was an excellent start to our partnership with Esports Entertainment Group, as we introduced their wagering platform to millions of people around the world, and we look forward to creating more valuable content with them in the near future,” said Frank Ng, CEO of Allied Esports Entertainment. “The VIE.gg CS:GO Legend Series is a great example of the ability of our tournaments to deliver dedicated content to an enthusiastic, engaged audience, and we will continue to develop these brands to meet the needs of partners as the esports industry continues to evolve.”

Sometimes, you just have to let the numbers speak for themselves. With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for … but then these numbers came in for the first two quarters:
Revenues $USD 1.7M vs $745,000 = 130% Gain
Patient Visits 12,400 vs 5,500 = 125% Gain
CBDT has now delivered growth in 4 successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1 and Q2), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019.
But he is far from done.
CBDT also just announced the potential acquisition of an 8,000 sq ft lab in Dallas (they do everything big over there) that can process 2,000 COVID-19 tests per 8 hour shift. At an average price of ~ $USD 90 per test, the clinic could represent $USD 180,000 in revenue PER SHIFT. However, until this acquisition closes, we’re not going to focus on it too much – but that could happen as early as next week.
Moreover, CBDT has to actually fill that capacity, which McAuley says he is working on right now with some enterprise sized discussions taking place as we write. Can he pull it off? First consider what he has already accomplished after inheriting a catastrophe of a company. Secondly, McAuley, is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth … and gives us optimism about this acquisition.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 16, 2020 — PRIMO NUTRACEUTICALS INC. (CSE: PRMO) (OTC: BUGVD) (FSE: 8BV) (DEU: 8BV) (MUN: 8BV) (STU: 8BV) (“Primo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has been issued a Medical Device Establishment License (“MDEL”) from Health Canada.
The MDEL is a license issued to companies for the activities of manufacturing, importing and distributing (selling) of all four classes of medical devices for human use in Canada.
These classes include; nitrile gloves, N95 surgical masks & KN95 masks, surgical gowns, respirators and testing kits to name a few.
The MDEL license is issued by Health Canada’s Regulatory Operations and Enforcement Branch (ROEB) based on an attestation that the establishment meets all of HC’s MDEL regulatory requirements.

“Obtaining a Medical Device Establishment License is a milestone and a key step towards accessing the MDEL market share through the sale of already Health Canada approved commercialized devices. We have seen an increase in demand for PPE and medical devices since the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced. Receiving the MDEL license allows for more efficient, convenient and cost effective delivery of PPE and medical devices to Canadians including institutional markets and those managed by Federal and Provincial governments.”
Joel DeBellefeuille, Director of Primo comments:
“The team has been working feverishly over the last few weeks focusing solely on delivering important catalysts. This one is definitely a major game-changer!”
