Tribe Gaming is a mobile-focused content collective and esports organisation, with teams in League of Legends: Wild Rift, Clash Royale and Clash of Clans, among others. It also houses high-profile mobile-based content creators including Patrick ‘Chief Pat’ Carney and Yarn, aka ‘OJ,’ who boast over 4.5 million followers between them. Tribe claims it generated 140 million views on mobile-related YouTube content in June.
Tribe Gaming recently announced that U.S. sports and entertainment organisation Spurs Sports & Entertainment had invested in the company.
In April this year, Discord stepped back from talks to sell the company, including a reported offer of at least $10m from Microsoft, according to the Wall Street Journal. The business is now looking to expand as a standalone company, with the potential for an eventual public listing.
Esports Insider says: With offers in the range of $10m, Discord is a worthy partner for any esports business. As Discord looks for new ways to monetise its sizable and rapidly growing user base, it will be interesting to see how well these activations play out for one of mobile esports’ biggest names.
