Proven Time and Time Again
RankingBall has been running open beta tests for the last four years during sports events in major leagues like the Korea Baseball League, Major League Baseball, English Premier League, and National Basketball Association. Based on the tests and feedback, we are ready to launch the all new RankingBall Platform in April 2018. We’ve already secured partnerships with major sports media in Korea such as KBS, KBSN and SBS, and are in talks with ESPN and CBS, in the US. In the growing esports field, we’ve been carrying out closed beta tests with big names such as League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and DOTA 2. We’re working hard to deliver service for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and will be launching our official service globally in the first half of 2018.
Plays Well With Others
While up to now RankingBall has been running as an independent platform, it’s been built for collaboration and cooperation with game developers and publishers, streamers, and media. Attractive incentives, made possible by our blockchain ecosystem, encourage them to leverage RankingBall’s full potential. Including earning our blockchain token, RBG, just by connecting your gaming profile to RankingBall's platform and playing your favorite online games.
Sports/esports media such as KBS, SBS, ESPN, and Twitch can incorporate RankingBall’s platform into their own to offer a whole new layer of gaming features to viewers to generate engagement and additional revenue. This model has been tested and proven, working with KBS and SBS, two of Korea’s largest terrestrial broadcasters for three years. RankingBall will launch as an independent platform in April 2018. Partnerships with ESPN, CBS, and Twitch are also expected to be in place in the second half of 2018.
