“We believe that the esports phenomenon has just begun,” said Winston Utomo, co-founder and CEO of IDN Media.
GGWP.ID will operate as an independent entity under IDN Media, he added. Ricky Setiawan, the esports firm’s head executive, will be staying on to lead the 60-person team. To become a one-stop company, GGWP.ID will have four business units: a media platform for esports enthusiasts, a tournament platform that lets users create and organize competitions, a professional esports team, and a digital agency.
Founded in 2014 by Winston and his brother William, IDN Media has grown from a single blog to four media properties, as well as three companies that handle its business interests. Its flagship site, IDN Times, attracts 38.5 million unique visitors per month.
Most recently, the company launched a recipe app for millennials called Yummy App.
