Are people actually waking up and understanding the potential?
SP starting to react. Expect Big RNS in the next few days. Added more today.GLA
Great video
Shame the hollowed out guild logo doesnt work well with those colours and is very hard to see, you'd think the branding team would have a suite of different logo styles to suit difference backgrounds and contrasts.
Pretty chuffed to see this Guild/Sky hosted tournament which happened earlier this evening has registered 86000 views so far. Very solid audience figures.

Already in - on cusp of a breakout, I like 2s here.
Just joined in here with a tranche at 0.65.

Nice 1.5m buy at the end, someone is keen
Good week on the news front, positive and optimistic for September
Have a good w/e all
Agreed Clive and the RNS today and follow up email release. Is the beginning of a series of events linked to SKY. Off Course eyeballs will be on the Competitions and sponsors will want to be linked. Great news today...
Well with sky very much on board this now looks undervalued!

Was aware of a few CSGO sponsors but made a list here: mostly betting companies, so could be a deal with Sky Bet?
https://twitter.com/glr_1990/status/1695024531251814492
But one thing is clear, if you have a solid CSGO team you are getting sponsored, interesting to see rival gambling companies back rival gamers! In the last article it mentions RED competing with Sportsbet, very interesting!
About to Blow..Thats why....
Keeps going NT
Seems a big move up is starting. The Significance of the RNSes recently is sinking in and SKY are a rock solid partner with extraordinary reach. Showing today their resolve to promote Guild and Esports in general. Very good...
As per my relatively negative(ish) but I thought on the money post the other day, GILD have since impressed showing their strong partnership with Sky, reminding us they are capable of landing major deals and creating strong relationships with Partners
In the last week we have the huge announcement of creating a CS roster, men and women's teams now, CS being one of the biggest e sports platforms in the market and now our own street fighter tournament and roster
Surely sponsors will be very impressed, would expect one to land shortly
More great news and for the none morons out there. Its a VERY wise decision to add here, as many as possible. About to explode. BIG Sponsor news inbound....
Press release
25 August 2023
Guild Esports PLC
("Guild Esports", "Guild", or "the Company")
Entry into Street Fighter
Collaboration with Sky for Street Fighter tournament launch
Guild Esports PLC (LSE: GILD; OTCQB: GULDF), a global gaming-focused media business, is pleased to announce the launch today of a new professional team to compete in Street Fighter 6, marking the Company's first entry into competitive Street Fighter.
The Company's new team, which will compete under the Guild banner, comprises Reneil "JoKeR JoKeZ" Landell (UK), Rabiae "Takamura" Houmaid (BE) and Alfonso "VegaPatch" Martínez Pozo (ES). Guild believes the new team will create new revenue-generating and audience growth opportunities for the Company.
Street Fighter is a long-running fighting game series, featuring hand-to-hand combat between two arcade characters. Street Fighter has built a thriving esports scene, and the game's audience continues to grow; in June 2023, the CR Cup Street Fighter tournament had more than 313,000 concurrent viewers, making it the most popular video game on streaming site Twitch at the time (source: Dexerto, 2023).
Noting that Guild are currently recruiting for a Partner Services Manager and Head of Agency Partnerships.
Subway has been sold to Roark Capital, this may be the reason the Subway sponsorship was not renewed, hopefully a renewal may happen in the future when the takeover dust has settled?
Looking back, its been a really awful performance on the sponsor front in 2023, maybe I am being too optimistic but they need to start converting sponsors
To date, this year the largest sponsor they have signed is ~£230K PA from Hummel (£700K over 3 years), they've signed a lot of 'kind' partnerships but nothing of real value
We've also been informed that Bitstamp has mutually agreed to terminate a £1.5m PA contract, that's going to have a crushing impact on revenues going forward if not replaced
I am bullish here short term, I think the recent CS announcement (esp using a fund to create it) was a brilliant move and I expect a partner/sponsor in the coming months to go along side this
new CEO only been appointed since Feb and certainly couldn't have done much more to date, has done a really good job of getting the costs down and creating a better foundation for growth just need those sponsors over the line
Technically Bitstamp are still paying until the end of the financial year, so we may have someone lined up to replace it on official termination, lets hope we do as that news among others (cash burn) really sunk the company to its current extremely low £3.6m valuation
The upside is massive if we can onboard the 'advanced' sponsors we talk about, but the reality is we have only converted one deal and its £700K over 3 years
Either a flurry of sponsors land in the near term (which I am betting they will) or we have to ask for more funding, and likely massive further dilution / Wipeout for holders , important to be bullish and optimistic but not forget the reality here that if sponsors are not onboarded before Y/E 2023, the company will likely be in a lot of a financial trouble
GL to the board you have my best wishes and I do believe they will succeed
SP ready to take off. Todays RNS is significant. Just Punters not understood its value as yet. Check the Prior RNS to join. the dots. Big Announcement incoming.. Big Quick price move inbound.
More than I am getting in my current account! (0.25%) shocking! :P
On a serious note, CS:GO does have a lot of gambling sponsors and the odd crypto and alcoholic beverage (Absolut) so one hopes we are in discussions with large names in the industry, if I had to bet (no pun intended) id go with a gambling company - come on GILD you've made the right moves behind the scenes the last three months but it really is time to put pen to paper and start converting potential to revenue :)
Good news arrived hence the .32% rise lol! it will be 1%+ by this afternoon
Good thats the team is fully funded, and any sponsorship gained comes straight to guild
Could this be the start of a run of good news?
I note fully funded from sponsors and more potential sponsor opportunities.
GL.
