Company mission
To make esports truly accessible for regular gamers.
Our take
For over a decade now, eSports has provided a way for players from all over the world to compete against each other in a variety of games. eSport tournaments have become an attractive and lucrative business opportunity, with many companies recognising their potential and investing in teams, leagues, and tournaments.
ChallengerMode is a Swedish-based company providing a platform for eSport players, teams and organisers to compete in and host online tournaments and leagues. Offering a range of games, including Apex Legends, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, among others, the platform has become popular for both casual and competitive eSport players, with over 6,000 tournaments being hosted on the platform.
The company has held multiple successful funding rounds, with investment including Swedish footballer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's venture capital firm, Unknown Legends. Recently announcing a partnership with PUBG MOBILE, through this partnership and investments, ChallengerMode has been enabled to further extend its eSport program and provide more opportunities to a global audience of players and organisers.
