Riot and Bayes to extend exclusive data distribution partnership until 2024 – Bayes COO claims broad availability of official data as key to the future of professional esports
Riot Games, the world’s leading esports game developer and publisher, and Bayes Esports, the central hub of the global esports data industry, have announced today that they will extend their exclusive data partnership ahead of schedule. The Berlin-based tech-company will keep exclusive worldwide distribution rights for virtually all League of Legends (LoL) competitions until 2024. These rights include live in-game data, fixture data and audiovisual rights for the betting industry. The early extension ensures that LoL data will continue to be reliably available to the industry, while also helping to maintain the sports competitive integrity. Riot Games and Bayes Esports have co-innovated since 2019 and have heavily invested in advanced technologies that bring value to customers and tailored solutions to fit the needs of the teams and players. Recent parts of their successful cooperation were the expansion of the Team Data Portal and the inclusion of additional regional leagues in the contract. “The forefront of our partnership was initially focused on the distribution and commercialization of data to third parties. But through great conversations with Bayes Esports, the community and the teams, we have learned that together we can achieve so much more to support the continuous growth and success of LoL Esports”, says John Knauss, Technical Product Manager at Riot Games. The strategic technology partnership between Riot and Bayes “is an essential component to strengthen the esports ecosystem and contribute to the sport’s sustainability. Riot and Bayes launched the first official data offering of any game publisher back in 2019. We jointly laid the groundwork for data integrity and sustainability, and we’re beyond excited to take the partnership to the next level”, adds Bayes Esports COO Amir Mirzaee, who considers the broad availability of official data as the next most important key factor of success for the future of esports. In the following paragraphs Mirzaee reflects on how the next years look to be ones for sustained growth of the esports industry as a whole.
