Palm Beach, FL – February 23, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) has proven to be one of the most competitive and lucrative game genres in the mobile game market. The global COVID-19 restrictions for the mobile game market have resulted in a dramatic growth in the overall volume of the industry. As in the rest of the market, this growth can be clearly observed for the MOBA game genre. According to industry watchdog, MobiDictum, the revenue of MOBA games in 2020 grew by 43 percent, this figure increased by 14 percent on a monthly basis for 2021, reaching over $300 million. Total revenue of MOBA mobile games exceeds $300 million monthly. The success of MOBA games in the world continues. With the popular titles of the genre making billions of dollars, it looks like new games will increase the competition. A report from ResearchAndMarkets agreed saying: “The esports market reached a value of nearly $1,070.5 million in 2020, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0% since 2015. The market is expected to grow from $1,070.5 million in 2020 to $2,108.6 million in 2025 at a rate of 14.5%.

ResearchAndMarkets continued: “Growth in the historic period resulted from increased awareness about esports, increase in livestreaming of games, and increase in international prize pool for esports. The market was restrained by lack of standardization. Going forward, increased diversity of game genres, increase in viewership, emergence of esports cafes, increase in internet accessible devices, rising sponsorships, increase in mobile gaming, and increasing awareness will drive the growth. Factors that could hinder the growth of the esports market in the future include unprotected rights of esports participants and match-fixing.

The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) market was the largest segment of the esports market segmented by game, accounting for 40.9% of the total in 2020.

Esports Technologies (Nasdaq Trading Symbol EBET) – BREAKING NEWS – Esports Technologies Files Quantum Computing Patent – Increases Calculation Speed for Odds Modeling in Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games – Esports Technologies, (trading on the Nasdaq market under the trading symbol of EBET), a leading global provider of advanced esports wagering products and technology, announced today that it has filed a new patent application with claims related to modeling for MOBA games (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas). The method would use quantum computing to rapidly predict likely team compositions in a MOBA matchup.
The process of selecting characters (e.g., champions or heroes) for a team, as well as banning characters available to the opposing team, is one of the crucial phases of a MOBA match. While classical computing algorithms might require days or years to calculate the most likely team choices with the same accuracy, Esports Technologies’ quantum computing approach would find the solution within seconds.
Bart Barden, COO, Esports Technologies, said, “In esports team games, much of our modeling hinges on the composition of each team. The ability to cut through the computational complexity and predict likely team compositions within seconds could prove to be extremely beneficial. We believe this accelerated quantum computing method developed by our dedicated quantitative analysis and modeling team may be another breakthrough innovation for Esports Technologies.”
The patent filing is the latest addition to EBET’s portfolio of intellectual property for predictive gaming models. It comes on the heels of a November 2021 patent application related to modified statistical distribution for modeling possible outcomes in MOBAs. In August 2021, the company filed a provisional patent application for a method of using artificial intelligence to generate odds models for use in a betting algorithm for various stages of an esports tournament. For this groundbreaking use of technology, Esports Technologies was selected as a finalist in the 2021 Tempest Esports Business Awards.
