Swedish esports platform Challengermode has announced a partnership with web browser Opera GX.
The partnership will see both parties create a ‘grassroots esports fund’, which aims to accelerate the growth of small emerging esports organisers in the UK, US, and Germany.
A total of $30,000 (~£21,150) will be distributed to local esports organisers through the fund. External platform support will be provided by Challengermode to streamline tournament and competition setups.
Philip Hübner, Chief Business Development Officer at Challengermode, commented: “Grassroots esports communities act as the introduction to esports for thousands of players around the world.
