TESTIMONIALS FROM HIGH PROFILE ESPORTS AFFILIATES

RaptorDaRaptor – a high profile PUBG player and Twitch partner, stated as follows after becoming a VIE Affiliate, “After meeting Grant and his team at Gamescom, I was very impressed with the ideas and goals they have for their company. This made me, both as an influencer and a professional player, want to work together with Vie.gg. I have reached out to VIE because they showed me a great sense of motivation and passion towards building something bigger, something that I can stand behind personally. I am excited to be building a team under the Vie.gg brand together with Esports Entertainment Group and introducing their brand directly to many thousands of fans. In 2018 alone, PUBG leagues have reached over 10 million total views with the future looking even brighter. I am looking forward to working together with the Vie.gg team as they have been showing me that we share common values and ambitions.”

Christian “Noir” Heinrichs, Owner of myRevenge and the first Vie.gg esports team Affiliate, stated as follows, “We are now Affiliate partners with Vie.gg for the duration of one year, since Gamescom 2017, and we have seen the company continue to grow and evolve through the year. I think that soon, Vie.gg will be the biggest betting platform in the esports business. We are looking forward to growing with the company as Affiliates, helping them bring on more new visitors and increasing our revenue as well. At Gamescom 2018, we worked together on-site with the full Vie.gg staff and it was a great honor to see how well we all worked together to bring more people to the brand.”

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group, stated, “A month prior to the show, we announced the major milestone of signing our 100th esports team Affiliate, a feat not matched by any esports wagering site.  Today, we’re announcing an additional 193 Affiliates from Gamescom 2018, which far surpassed our expectations.  The overwhelming response from the esports industry has served as further confirmation that our transparent P2P esports wagering platform is exactly what the esports world has been waiting for. We can’t wait to make Vie.gg the industry leader with the help of all our VIE Affiliates in 2018.”
