Thai e-sports get their very own awards ceremony

 

The Thailand Zocial AIS Gaming Awards will recognise excellence in social media of games and e-sports throughout the previous year. The awards aim to raise Thailand to the next level as a Southeast Asian e-sports hub.

“Games and e-sports are growing so rapidly and have become the most important digital content in the global content industry. This has delivered growth for all stakeholders in the ecosystem, whether creators, publishers, casters, or players. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, this year the e-sport market has continued to grow and develop without difficulty, because it is 100 per cent digital content,” said Alistair David Johnston, AIS managing director of New Business.

AIS is thus providing a forum to promote industry stakeholders via awards reflecting excellence and different capabilities.

Grading that excellence is Wisesight.

“We have developed Gaming Metrics to measure the efficiency on social media of games and e-sports. … This is another important part of reviving and driving Thailand's digital economy to grow both strongly and sustainably,” said Kla Tangsuwan, CEO of Wisesight (Thailand).
