A showmatch between esports athletes and bloggers in mobile MOBA game
Arena of Valor New Year's showmatch
ABOUT
At the end of 2021, Ultimate GG helped Tencent Games and Level Infinite launch the promotion of the mobile game Arena of Valor in the EEU region. Our team organised a New Year's Eve showmatch, which was the start of the game's promotional campaign.
Popular youtubers and professional esports players competed in Arena of Valor in BO3 format while, in between the games, hosts ran cheerful IRL activities and interviewed the players for the game's social media channels.
In addition to showmatch itself, Ultimate GG organised the filming, post-production, premiere, and targeted promotion of the commercial clip and trailer, which were published on the official Arena of Valor YouTube channel.

People who are unfamiliar with the game will find it hard to watch a showmatch, even if their favourite stars are in it. How do we tell the audience that this game is actually cool?

Apart from explanations for newbies, we will put extra attention on the stars enjoying the game. The audience will see the bloggers and players enjoying the game and, therefore, will reach out to them.
