Some of you may not have heard of Player.me and Challonge, but this news we grabbed from XSplit is one of the biggest investment strategies made by a developer. SplitmediaLabs Limited, the makers of the industry-leading internet broadcast and live streaming software, XSplit Gamecaster and XSplit Broadcasters, acquired the Player.me and Challonge last July 14, 2016.

Meanwhile, Challonge is a tournament management service, which enables users and game tournament managers to generate brackets. Challonge has been focusing on refining the core of their system for creating tournament brackets and is already used for large scale eSports events such as the Capcom Pro Tour, a series of Blizzard tournaments including the WCS World League in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and Red Bull Kumite 2016.
