It is currently preparing for the University E-Sports Championship (UEC) season 2 in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. The event is following its first season launched in Thailand last month.
The startup wants to expand across more Southeast Asian countries for UEC’s third installment.
Infofed plans to develop eArena, an online esports competition platform that allows users to easily organize competitive games with players globally using a web application.
It will also embrace virtual reality and augmented reality to create “new esports experiences”, which will complement its US$1.5 million Thailand E-Sports Arena facility in Bangkok.
