Last month we announced the signing of Chris Puckett, one of the most respected broadcasters in esports as the Host of The Gamer Hour, and have since launched The Gamer Hour website and social media - - https://www.thegamerhour.com.

In the past few weeks alone, we have had over 100 professional athletes presented to us who are avid gamers and want to be on the show. We are carefully selecting each guest and adding guests to the Celebrity page https://www.thegamerhour.com/celebrity-guests frequently. These guests collectively bring millions of social media followers to The Gamer Hour when they share their plans to be on the show and appear. 

While we have accounts now with over 30 distribution networks, we are also in talks with some of the largest media companies in America to carry our programming as well. 

Follow-on programming is also in the works that will include many of the athletes we are forming relationships with today. 

Filming of The Gamer Hour is scheduled to begin at the end of September with the first show to be edited and broadcast the first week of October 2020. The show will be filmed in Reuters NYC, Times Square studio, produced by Esportz Network and Reuters Broadcast Solutions - https://prn.to/3i5byib

Esportz Network just announced the airing of a new show, The Gamer Hour, joined by broadcaster Chris Puckett. He will play the central role as the show’s host, aiding in the success of The Gamer Hour.

Chris Puckett in Esports

Chris Puckett made his name early on with his bright personality and now takes the next step as a show host. He’ll become the face of The Gamer Hour, in which he speaks with mainstream celebrities about their gaming experiences. Through his on-air talent and other responsibilities, his role will take the entertainment industry to new heights.

Chris Puckett has been an esports broadcaster, player, producer, tournament lead, and commentator since 2002. Starting out as a professional player in the early competitive scenes of Halo and Call of Duty, he quickly became one of esports’ top personalities. Most recently, Puckett could be seen casting for the PAX Arena VALORANT Invitational, part of Riot Games’ Ignition Series.

Puckett was the host for Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch League before announcing his intent to move to New York and become a freelancer in 2020. Since Overwatch League’s inaugural season in 2018, his two years as a primary host helped pave his way to success.

“Inspired by the history of late-night shows, we’re excited to be working with Chris Puckett, a highly-respected broadcaster in esports, to take gaming programming to a whole different level,” said Mark Thimmig, Chairman and CEO Esportz Network. “With this show, Chris will join the ranks of other popular late-night TV hosts. We look to go where no gaming show has gone before. With access to 32 media distribution platforms, we expect a wide global distribution.”

The Gamer Hour Show

Inspired by other popular late-night talk shows, Esportz Network’s The Gamer Hour will be a 30-minute weekly show featuring the world’s top celebrities. Show guests will speak about their interest in gaming while balancing life as a celebrity, among other topics. By bringing on celebrities like sports athletes, top musicians, actors, and actresses to talk about gaming, the show will appeal to both gamers and non-gamers.

The Gamer Hour will be filmed in New York City Times Square at the Reuters studio and produced by Reuters Broadcast Solutions. Fondly known as “the Crossroads of the World”, Times Square backdrop is one of many reasons fans will love the show.

“This will be the most exciting half-hour in gaming programming,” Mark Thimmig said. “We are launching a new kind of show where gamers and esports fans will have a chance to hear from notable celebrities about their favorite games and gaming experiences along with expert reviews and other important news around the gaming industry.”

Chris Puckett is expected to do great things given his nearly-20 years of esports industry experience. Combined with a talented production team for The Gamer Hour, this show promises an exciting way for viewers to appreciate esports and gaming. Fans can follow Puckett on his official Twitter and Instagram to keep updated with his hosting journey.

Cosplay is one of the most exciting areas of esports with incredible characters to be modeled across many of the most prominent and popular games. 

At Esportz Entertainment Corp. / Esportz Network we believe that supporting the most professional cosplayers around the world is a great way to also support what fans love about esports. 

To that end, we have begun building a licensed and bonded Talent Agency dedicated to cosplayers from around the world. As of this date, over 50 cosplayers have been approved to be posted on our EsportzNetwork.com website with 33 having fully completed their application and posted all the necessary information and photos needed to go live.

We hope to have as many as 100 or more on the website by the end of March 2020, at which time our efforts will turn to identify engagements for these cosplayers around the world. We expect to place cosplayers in a wide range of conventions, gaming events, auto shows, product launches, and other corporate functions. Our business model now includes revenues from our activities as a Talent Agency in support of cosplayers and other esports influencers.  

Please visit EsportzNetwork.com to see all the incredible cosplayers.

This past week, in a further step to implement our business plan, we launched a new website, www.EsportzIMG.com dedicated to providing exceptional esports photos, and in 2020, esports video clips. 

Presently, there is very little esports photography, most of it has been used over and over again and is low impact.  

Our new stock photo website is also a perfect repository for the esports industry coverage that our growing freelance reporters, photographers, and videographers are already contributing to EsportzNetwork.com and Reuters.  We expect to add as many as 500+ photos to EsportzIMG.com by the end of the first quarter of 2020 and exceed 1,000 photos by the end of the second quarter. Videos will also be added by the end of the first quarter of 2020. 

Target paying subscribers for EsportzIMG.com are advertising agencies, website builders, social media managers, and freelancers from around the world who are creating esports related content and want fresh, exciting photography to enhance their work and reach their customers. 

I encourage you to visit the EsportzIMG.com website to have a look for yourself and appreciate any referrals to prospective customers or freelance esports photographers.

We sincerely appreciate our shareholders continued support and look forward to bringing you additional announcements in the coming weeks.
