Santa Monica, Calif. - (March 11, 2021) – Super League Gaming (Nasdaq: SLGG), a global leader in competitive video gaming and esports entertainment for everyday players of all ages, announced today the acquisition of Mobcrush, a live streaming technology platform used by hundreds of thousands of gaming influencers who generate and distribute almost two million hours of original content annually and have accumulated more than 4.5 billion fans and subscribers across the most popular live streaming and social media platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more. Mobcrush also owns Mineville, one of six exclusive, official Minecraft server partners that is enjoyed by more than 22 million unique players annually. Mineville is highly complementary to Minehut, Super League’s owned and operated Minecraft community, strengthening the combined company’s leading position with young gamers. This strategic, all-stock transaction, is anticipated to be accretive and enable Super League to take a significant leap forward in providing brands, advertisers, and other consumer facing businesses with massive audience reach across the most important engagement channels in video gaming – competitive events, social media and live streaming content, and in-game experiences.

“Super League and Mobcrush share a mission to empower passionate gamers and streamers through proprietary tools to create gameplay and streaming entertainment content that inspires connectivity and engagement for the greater good of gaming,” said Ann Hand, Chief Executive Officer of Super League. “With this acquisition we are building a formidable, highly scalable gaming-centric media and advertising platform that reaches one of the largest addressable audiences of gamers in the U.S. The revenue opportunities available through our combined advertiser solutions, as well as growth in direct gamer and content monetization, are tremendous.”

“Super League is one of the strongest brands in the esports entertainment ecosystem and achieved impressive digital audience and content growth during COVID,” said Mike Wann, CEO of Mobcrush. “I am thrilled we can bring our expertise in streaming to the table. Together, we offer brands and advertisers a huge opportunity to create meaningful connections with the most sought-after audience in today’s media landscape – the engaged young gamer. Combining with Super League also means doubling down on a shared vision of empowering passionate gamers and streamers, allowing them to supercharge their own growth, and helping them turn their passions into their livelihoods. The best is yet to come.”

An equally important set of opportunities comes from the combination of Mobcrush’s live streaming technology platform and proprietary AI-driven gameplay highlights software, with Super League’s patented visualization technology and cloud-based, remote video production and monitoring division, Virtualis Studios. Together, the companies will provide content producers at all levels – streamers, creators, digital and television production companies, branded content studios, and more – with an exciting suite of tools and capabilities designed both for the unique needs of today’s production and distribution realities, and the enduring changes within the landscape resulting from the pandemic.

“Media is all about scale, and Super League’s proposed acquisition of Mobcrush creates a demonstrably larger targeted audience reach to attract a greater share of advertisers’ wallets,” said Mark Jung, Super League Board Member, founder of IGN Entertainment, and former COO of FOX Digital. “Super League’s management team continues to do an exceptional job identifying how to bring value to players and reach fans and viewers exactly where they spend the majority of their time.”
