The global speedrunning community is growing at a very fast pace, with single events raising over $2,000,000 for charity in 2018, and is expected to continue growing at a very rapid pace for years to come. VIE is now positioned to become the P2P betting platform for speedrunning and expects to announce further agreements in this space.

SpeedGaming Founder Feasel stated “SpeedGaming is proud to be partnering with Vie.gg. We have built the largest competitive speedrunning network, broadcasting over 50 tournaments per year on 9 channels. We are happy to be giving our users the ability to bet on their favourite players. We expect that this, along with substantial cash prizes for upcoming tournaments, will serve to broaden the exposure of both SpeedGaming and Vie, as well as, continue to attract the top players in the world to join these events.”

SpeedGaming is truly a speedrun authority and we look forward to supporting their community by sponsoring two tournaments and taking bets on several more they will be hosting to close out 2018.

Although batteries still account for a relatively small portion of nickel demand, the electrification of cars is growing that source of demand significantly, this according to Mark Jarvis, president and CEO of Giga Metals.
“The steady march of electric vehicles is a fundamental shift in the supply-demand equation, especially for class 1 nickel,” Jarvis told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Swiss Mining Institute Conference in Geneva.

  • The World Trade Organization (WTO) released a report on blockchain technology’s effect on international trade today, Nov. 27.
  • Per the study, blockchain’s economic value-add on a global scale could reach almost $3 trillion by 2030.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) released a report on blockchain technology’s effect on international trade today, Nov. 27. Per the study, blockchain’s economic value-add on a global scale could reach almost $3 trillion by 2030.

“Blockchain and International Trade: Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications for International Trade Cooperation” analyzes blockchain applications and challenges that must be considered before the technology’s deployment in various sectors. The study considers the technology’s effect on industries such as trade finance, customs clearance, logistics and transportation.

The study estimates that blockchain has the potential to significantly cut trade costs by increasing transparency and facilitating processes automation, including financial intermediation, exchange rate costs, coordination, and other aspects. “The removal of barriers due to blockchain could result in more than $ 1 trillion of new trade in the next decade,” the report reads.

Blockchain is expected to help administer intellectual property rights across multiple jurisdictions by delivering more transparency and efficiency, and enhance government procurement processes, including fighting fraud and managing public contracts.

Blockchain purportedly could improve supply chains, allowing for the tracking of shipments and proving their authenticity. Additionally, the technology could open new opportunities to micro, small and medium-sized companies.

Conversely, the study warns about challenges that must be addressed before deploying blockchain, as well as its impact on international trade. The researchers point out limited scalability of blockchains due to the predetermined size of blocks, in addition to energy consumption and security issues.

Although “blockchains are highly resilient compared to traditional databases due to their decentralized and distributed nature and the use of cryptographic techniques, they are not completely immune from traditional security challenges,” the study states.

The report stresses the importance of developing a multi-stakeholder approach in order to find appropriate use cases in cross-border trade. According to the WTO, blockchain requires frameworks that ensure the interoperability of networks and provide clear legal status for blockchain transactions across jurisdictions. The report concludes:

“Blockchain could make international trade smarter, but smart trade requires smart standardization — and smart standardization can only happen through cooperation. If we succeed in creating an ecosystem conducive to the wider development of blockchain, international trade could well look radically different in ten to 15 years.”

Earlier this week, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin said that the misapplication of blockchain technology in some industries leads to “wasted time.” Buterin argued that although there are a number of companies that try to establish higher standards by using blockchain technology, he does not think the technology is applicable in every industry.

Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as income (loss) before income taxes excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non- recurring non-operating expenses, interest expense, and gain or loss on financial instruments and foreign exchange.

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and the Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. This measure differs from contribution in that adjusted EBITDA includes additional operating costs, such as general and administration expenses and marketing, but excludes funding interest costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to loss before income taxes, the most comparable IFRS financial measure for each of the periods indicated:

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

GLN is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with offices in the US and UK and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol “GOOD” and The Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol 4G5.

Addressable Market: The total media ad spend worldwide will rise 7.4% to $628.63 billion in 2018, according to “Global Ad Spending: The eMarketer Forecast for 2018.” Digital media will account for 43.5% of that investment, thanks to rising global ecommerce spending and shifting viewership from traditional TV to digital channels. By 2020, digital’s share of total advertising will near 50%.

The 2018 Fall diamond drill program tested the COD vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. The program followed up on results from previous 2018 diamond drilling at the southern extension of the COD vein. Two of the previous 2018 holes at this southern extension, COD18-45 and COD18-46 (which were drilled at 45 and 50 degree dips to the west from the same site), intersected high grade gold. COD18-45 intersected of 50.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 375 g/t silver over 2.05 meter core length including 167.5 g/t gold, 1,370 g/t silver and >500 g/t tellurium over 0.46 meter core length (News Release of August 15, 2018). COD18-46 intersected 54.9 g/t gold and 379 g/t silver over a 1.47 meter core length, including 223 g/t gold, 1,535 g/t silver and greater than 500 g/t tellurium over a 0.30 meter core length (News Release of August 22, 2018).

Intervals of quartz veining and / or mineralized host rock from the 2018 Fall diamond drilling program are outlined in the table below. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported.

Hole ID Interval length (m) Description
COD18-61 1.38 Quartz vein intercept
COD18-63 3.46 3.46m mineralized zone including 1.47m quartz vein intercept with local visible gold.
COD18-64 3 3 m mineralized granodiorite interval
COD18-65 2.43 2.43m mineralized granodiorite interval
COD18-66 1.84 1.94m mineralized zone including a 0.94 m quartz vein intercept
COD18-67 8.51 8.51m mineralized interval including a 7.32 m quartz vein intercept.
COD18-68 4.64 4.64 m mineralized interval including 1.6m of quartz veining
COD18-69 9.65 9.65m interval of quartz separated by mineralized wall rock
COD18-70 6.9 6.9 m quartz vein intercept (with 1 m core loss)
COD18-71 12.04 12.04m mineralized intercept including 2.2m of quartz veining

All of the 2018 Fall drill holes were collared within 25 meters of holes COD18-45 and COD-46. Holes COD18-61 to COD18-66 were drilled to the west and slightly northwest at dips of 45 to 60 degrees to intersect the approximately northeast striking vein(s). Holes COD18-67 to COD18-71 were drilled at dips of 45 to 60 degrees slightly northeast to intersect the vein(s) at a shallower angle, the purpose being to test the continuity of the quartz veining and mineralization.

  • Announced the signing of a non-binding term sheet to create a joint-venture to formulate, develop and deliver cannabinoid derived therapeutics for a number of indications
  • Altus has three distinct drug delivery technologies that will provide Tetra with significant strategic advantages over the competition.

Seeks joint venture with Altus Formulation Inc. – a drug formulation and development company with patented technologies

ORLEANS, Ontario, Nov. 27, 2018 — Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or “TBP”), (TSX VENTURE: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), and Altus Formulation Inc. (“Altus”) today announced the signing of a non-binding term sheet (“Term Sheet“) to create a joint-venture to formulate, develop and deliver cannabinoid derived therapeutics for a number of indications. Altus has three distinct drug delivery technologies that will provide Tetra with significant strategic advantages over the competition. These include IntellitabTM abuse deterrent technology, FlexitabTM breakable sustained release tablet technology and SmartCelleTM nano-technology. SmartCelle’s ability to enhance the solubility of our THC and CBD products permits increased oral absorption and enables parenteral delivery. All platforms are protected by patents in force globally.

The Proposed Joint-Venture will provide Tetra Bio-Pharma with:

  • Increased intellectual property protection for products developed under the joint venture;
  • Access to abuse deterrent technology to minimize non-medical use of cannabinoids;
  • An enhanced development pipeline addressing new therapeutic areas;
  • Opportunities for disease-appropriate delivery including intranasal and intravenous delivery; and
  • Increased oral drug absorption with immediate and extended release products.

Dr. Guy Chamberland, CEO and CSO of Tetra Bio-Pharma stated, “We are extremely excited about the creation of this joint venture as Altus brings many advantages to the table that will benefit our patients, their care providers and add tremendous value to the products being developed together. Their drug delivery technology will significantly strengthen our intellectual property portfolio.”

The White House Executive Office of the President of the United States along with several U.S. Federal agencies are encouraging pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop abuse-deterrent technologies. The Altus intellectual property will allow Tetra to bring formulations containing THC to market with a product label that clearly indicates its abuse-deterrence feature.

“This will be a major breakthrough for marketing THC drugs with opioid reduction claims at a time when society and the medical community are battling the epidemic abuse of opioids,” said Dr. Chamberland.

“We were highly impressed by Tetra’s science-driven approach to cannabinoid research and their proven ability to develop valuable medicines in this largely untapped new space,” said Dr. Damon Smith, CEO of Altus Formulation. “We greatly look forward to working with them and to bringing a range of life-changing new products to our patients.”

About Altus Formulation Inc.
Altus Formulation is a Quebec based drug formulation and development company using its proprietary and patent protected drug delivery technologies to generate novel, differentiated and cost effective new products for its partners and their patents. With a focus on safer to use formulations, Altus’ technologies also include SmartCelle technologies for intravenous or oral delivery of low solubility large and small molecules.

Esports Entertainment Group $GMBL – All in the game: Taking #Esports to the masses

  • The professional Dota 2 eSports team, OG, caused a major upset by winning the richest eSports tournament to date, The International 2018
  • Held at the 20,000 seat Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the $25 million tournament was witnessed by a capacity crowd over its six-day run and live-streamed by a peak audience of close to 15 million people

eSports is pioneering workflows that could be picked up by mainstream sports coverage, and with rising interest and growing prize pots, the influence of eSports looks set to increase.

On August 25, the professional Dota 2 eSports team, OG, caused a major upset by winning the richest eSports tournament to date, The International 2018. Held at the 20,000 seat Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the $25 million tournament was witnessed by a capacity crowd over its six-day run and live-streamed by a peak audience of close to 15 million people.

In many respects, despite a total airtime of 122 hours, an eSports tournament workflow for an event such as T18 looks very similar to a conventional sporting event, as the graphic below from Newtek shows. The only real difference lies in swapping the cameras and audio that would normally be capturing physical sporting action for gameplay capture, with production cameras being deployed essentially for cutaways, commentary and reaction shots.

NewTek’s eSports workflow

With little or no heritage of using legacy broadcast circuits, IP-based workflows are increasingly dominant in the eSports field as is remote production, which is becoming commonplace even at an intercontinental level. Coupled with the growing use of cloud-based tools, there’s a sense that eSports is pushing workflows that will become mainstream in regular sports coverage not too far down the line.

This can inevitably entail the use of serious amounts of bandwidth and fewer and fewer productions are happy to be using the public internet, preferring to rent large pipes for their exclusive use.

As a case in point, The Switch supplied the 12th BlizzCon last month with 800Mbps of connectivity between California’s Anaheim Convention Centre to AWS, not to mention a 50Mbps link for ESPN to handle content for Twitter.

Private networks also minimise the problem of latency. Aside from the desire to attract audiences — and BlizzCon, for example had 40,000 attendees — one of the main reasons that tournaments take place in arena settings rather than having players log in from home is to provide an even playing ground when it comes to connectivity. Lowest costs circuits are not always the best nor the most direct route, a factor which contributed to League of Legends developer Riot Games building its own dedicated backbone, Riot Direct.

This is a move more commonly associated with major tech companies such as Google and Facebook, but provides a much more direct route. The diagram below shows the impact when the return path, marked here in red, from Chicago to a player in Portland was computed by the standard Border Gateway Protocol.

Solo streamer
eSports is, however, about more than the tournaments, with influencer-based social video a key component on platforms such as the Amazon-owned Twitch, the Microsoft-owned Mixer, Smashcast, Caffeine, and an increasing number of other outlets.

Monetised by a combination of adverts and subscriptions, some of the players are becoming genre stars in their own right, led by the Fortnite-playing Ninja, who currently has over 12 million followers.

The tech behind connecting player to audience tends to be the standard value-end of broadcast kit list as developed and refined on YouTube over the years, with added computing grunt and specialist live-streaming and video mixing apps such as player.me, XSplit or OBS to allow broadcasters to intercut the gameplay. Additional specialist broadcasting software such as StreamLabs, StreamElements, Muxy and OperaEvent provide an impressive and constantly evolving array of engagement and monetisation tools.

Over 200 third-party extensions are now available for Twitch alone, which generate customisable onscreen info about everything from player stats to avatars to viewer polls, provide tipjar functionality, enable charity donations, viewer-chat and a whole lot more.

Sports crossover
Viewer chat and the live, interactive and communal nature of game streaming is considered by many to be one of eSports’ killer apps and live viewing is very much where the action is. Data from the most recent Nielsen eSports Fan Insight survey suggests that in the past 12 months 72% watched a live streaming event online, dropping to 48% for a pre-recorded match.

So far, so normal sports, but one of the dangers of mapping traditional sports paradigms onto eSports is that it is a very different mindset.

“Monetisation remains problematic when measured against an established culture of free content”

According to Nielsen data, eSports fans are, in general, video game fans first and foremost. They may spend on average 8% of their media time consuming eSports, but they spend nearly a quarter of their time playing video games themselves.

The reason they watch eSports is primarily to become better players themselves; they are active participants in the same games in a way that traditional sports organisations trying to build grassroots fanbases can only dream about.

This has implications. First, despite the draw of live events, there is a huge audience for VOD highlights and replays. Add in that factor and YouTube actually overtakes Twitch as the most popular source of eSports programming, at least in the US market. It means there is distinct demand for clips and highlights, and a real opportunity for analysis and annotation.

Second, it will necessarily impact on the way that the increasing amount of eSports athlete data being captured is presented. Traditional sports player stats such as metres run or tackles made, serve to highlight the difference between the elite athletes and the watching viewer. But given the different levels of engagement with eSports, the sense is that data should be presented more as aspirational: you can do this too if you practice hard enough.

As an example of the sort of metrics that are starting to feed into the game, Turner Sports has started to use eye-tracking technology to track individual player’s focus of intent during games which are then analysed post-match. The broadcaster is also adding the sort of sports science analysis that has become a staple of traditional sports in recent years, measuring factors such as response times and the visual acuity of the players.

Monetisation, ads, and evolution
One interesting current trend in eSports broadcasting is the demand of the narrative, which is stemming less from a traditional sports model and more from a sports entertainment perspective. This demands both additional resource on behalf of the streaming services for capturing content specific to it, as well as more input at the tournament planning stage to ensure the ‘right’ personalities end up pitted against each other. Whether this will become the dominant format becoming further emphasised moving forward or whether eSports will default to what can be considered a more purist, skills-first model will depend on the audience sizes achieved.

As will monetisation. As with much of the online media space, monetisation remains problematic when measured against an established culture of free content. Nielsen data suggests that as many as 1 in 3 eSports viewers would refuse to pay anything to watch any eSports content, though that has to be contrasted against culture that is happy to crowd-fund the huge purse on offer at T18, for instance.

Happily for continuing to fund the expansion in eSports, a similar figure suggested they would pay for ad-free video. This might be tested sooner rather than later though. Amazon-owned Twitch drew criticism for ending ad-free viewing on Twitch Prime (essentially a suite of benefits for Amazon Prime subscribers) in September, directing those who wanted an ad free experience to the $8.99 monthly Twitch Turbo service.

Measuring the impact of that will be instructive, though, of course, apart from revealing that over a million people are watching at any given moment, like its owner Twitch tends to keep its viewing figures to itself. It continues to innovate to stay ahead of a surging market though, for example announcing the forthcoming karaoke-style interactive Twitch Sings that allows viewers to request songs through chat only last month.

Speaking at the October TwitchCon 2018, Twitch CEO, Emmett Shear, said: “I think we’re still at very early days on Twitch. It still feels like the start of the streaming world.”

And with eSports revenues predicted to hit $905 million or more this year and still rising, the real tournament is only just starting.
