The new site is the result of an unprecedented partnership between Brazil's BIG International Gaming, which was founded by André Feldman and holds the World Series of Poker (WSOP) license in Brazil and Victor's Gold, founded by entrepreneur Ben Abramowitz.
"We are pleased to join these two big companies to be the first to enter the huge Brazilian PvP Sports market," the firms said in a statement.
The platform will run on the portal www.playbig.com.br (still under construction), in which DOTA, CS Counter Strike, FIFA and League of Legends LOL players will be able to participate in online tournaments, in the same way as the poker ones, where the champion receives cash prizes generated from the inscriptions of all the players.
This system is called POKERIZATION and has already been used frequently in this market, as the dynamics, trends and skill games are increasingly gaining similarities in this global market, including a large number of players in common in these two sports of mind ( eSports and poker).
BIG and Victor's Gold affirm that the project will be a milestone in the video game or eSports market in Brazil and that they are excited to bring the next generation of eSports tournaments infrastructure based on peer-to-peer skills to Brazil.
