What the business is

A league that builds the audience, and a platform that monetises it every day.

Two businesses in one ecosystem, running 24/7/365. The league creates premium content and cultural reach; the platform converts that attention into players, members and recurring revenue.

  • The league

    Premium content

    Celebrity-owned teams with real rivalries compete in live events filmed before an audience, built like a sports broadcast with halftime performances, product reveals and sponsored intermissions.

    • Celebrity-owned teams
    • Live events filmed to tape
    • Modern, classic and crossover titles
    • Brand, merchandise and media rights
  • The platform

    Recurring revenue

    An in-house tournament and membership platform open to anyone, every day of the year. Players compete, rank globally and rise through farm, minor and major league tiers into the teams.

    • Daily online tournaments
    • Free and paid memberships
    • Farm to major league progression
    • Indie game discovery and creator tools

The league owns 50% of every team, including its IP.

Each team is a 50/50 partnership with its celebrity owner, and all team revenue flows through the league before distribution. Every new owner adds reach, sponsorship and content value to the whole portfolio.
