History

Mobalytics was founded on August 1, 2016 by Amine Issa, Bogdan Suchyk and Nikolay Lobanov.

In 2016, Mobalytics won TechCrunch's Premiere Startup competition, Startup Battlefield, taking the $50,000 prize. The founding team entered the competition with only two hours to spare before the entries closed. [3] Following the win and subsequent investment boost, the three founders formed the core team and began to expand their operations. [5] In July 2020, Mobalytics announced it had raised $11.25 million. [6] Investors included GGV Capital, Axiomatic and T1 eSports. During the investment round, the Mobalytics community was estimated to have reached over 7 million members. [7] [8]

In December 2020, Mobalytics announced content partnership with a broadcast channel GINX eSport TV. [9]

Technology

Mobalytics implemented a rating system called Gamer Performance Index (GPI) that evaluates the performance of the players. [10] A visual map is provided with metrics that indicate the gaming skills in need of improvement, such as fighting, farming, vision, aggression, survivability, teamplay, consistency and versatility. [11] [10] The GPI analyzes gaming strengths and weaknesses, and provides insight for both players and their competitors. The Mobalytics software bases its analysis on recordings of the gaming matches. [2] [12] In 2019, the company partnered with a Swedish technology company Tobii to develop eye-tracking technology that is expected to provide a more complex behavioral analysis. [11]

Game titles

Since its launch, the Mobalytics platform has grown to currently support four game titles by Riot Games: League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, and VALORANT. [2] [1]
