Mobalytics (incorporated as Gamers Net, Inc.) is an American Esports company based in Marina Del Rey, California.[1] It specializes in providing visual analytics and performance data to competitive gamers, aimed at improving gaming performance.[2] The software uses in-game data and machine learning algorithms to detect weaknesses of the players and provide methods of enhancing player performance through visual analysis and insights.[3][4]

History

[edit]

Mobalytics was founded on August 1, 2016 by Amine Issa, Bogdan Suchyk and Nikolay Lobanov.

In 2016, Mobalytics won TechCrunch's Premiere Startup competition, Startup Battlefield, taking the $50,000 prize. The founding team entered the competition with only two hours to spare before the entries closed.[3] Following the win and subsequent investment boost, the three founders formed the core team and began to expand their operations.[5] In July 2020, Mobalytics announced it had raised $11.25 million.[6] Investors included GGV Capital, Axiomatic and T1 eSports. During the investment round, the Mobalytics community was estimated to have reached over 7 million members.[7][8]

In December 2020, Mobalytics announced content partnership with a broadcast channel GINX eSport TV.[9]

Technology

[edit]

Mobalytics implemented a rating system called Gamer Performance Index (GPI) that evaluates the performance of the players.[10] A visual map is provided with metrics that indicate the gaming skills in need of improvement, such as fighting, farming, vision, aggression, survivability, teamplay, consistency and versatility.[11][10] The GPI analyzes gaming strengths and weaknesses, and provides insight for both players and their competitors. The Mobalytics software bases its analysis on recordings of the gaming matches.[2][12] In 2019, the company partnered with a Swedish technology company Tobii to develop eye-tracking technology that is expected to provide a more complex behavioral analysis.[11]

Game titles

[edit]

Since its launch, the Mobalytics platform has grown to currently support four game titles by Riot Games: League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, and VALORANT.[2][1]
