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).

Bowlers12 call me crazy, I see Guild’s share price in 3-5 years being 12p +. I am in it for the long haul. Based on the growth in the Esports sector and Guild being in the right place at the right time. I have always said I am holding long. Just my opinion, nothing more nothing less.
The share price will absolutely fly up with the next large sponsor. Can’t be too far away now.
People are waiting in the wings for the next sponsorship deal. But, good luck at trying to get on board once that sponsorship deal drops. They’re be paying the elevate premium price for sitting on the fence. GLA

Technical Partnership Signed with Fanatec
Entry into Sim Racing with Guild Simulator Facility
Guild Esports PLC (LSE: GILD), a global teams organisation and lifestyle brand, is pleased to announce that it has signed a technical partnership agreement with Fanatec, a leading provider of simulated racing ("sim racing") equipment and hardware designed for both gaming and motorsport.
The partnership marks Guild's entry into sim racing, a fast-growing sector of the esports industry. Fanatec will supply Guild with a total of eight state-of-the-art sim racing rigs, related hardware and regular technology upgrades under a value-in-kind deal.
The rigs will form the centrepiece for a new Guild Sim Racing Facility ("the simulator facility") being established at the Sky Guild Gaming Centre, located at the Company's London headquarters, to serve as a new revenue stream for Guild.
In exchange, Guild will provide Fanatec with prominent branding around the simulator facility in the Sky Guild Gaming Centre, as well as logo placements on social media. The Guild Simulator Facility will additionally serve as a showroom for Fanatec, providing Guild with affiliate revenue from any on-site or digital sales.
The Facility will provide exciting and tailored simulator gameplay and experiential packages for corporates, the wider public, as well as rentable training facilities for professional teams. The new offering will be advertised across Guild-owned channels, partner networks, and the existing B2B communications channels and outlets used for Guild HQ services.
The Company expects the sim racing facility will begin to generate revenue from the third quarter of the 2023 calendar year. The move into digital motorsports also opens up a range of new sponsorship categories for Guild's esports division with conversations already underway in this sector.
Sim racing takes place in state-of-the-art simulators that provide near real-life racing experiences at a fraction of the cost. It is amongst the fastest-growing areas of esports with global competitions run by Formula 1, Formula E, Le Mans and established esports operators such as ESL. The global gaming simulator market, of which sim racing makes up a significant proportion, is expected to reach US$10 billion by 2027 (source: Asia Sports Tech, 2022).
As sim racing games seek to accurately represent motorsports in gaming, incorporating real-world variables such as tyre wear, suspension settings and fuel usage, the realistic qualities of racing simulation have seen it become a pathway to traditional motorsports: former Formula One esports racer Cem Bölükbaşı competed in the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Championship, the feeder series to Formula One, following a successful esports career. This bridge with traditional motorsport makes the use cases of sophisticated rigs varied and of interest to a diverse customer b

Trying to find ideas and solutions to get the Guild brand out there.
Need media attention which goes hand in hand with attracting bigger sponsors.
We are all down on our investments.
Surely there are some great minds amongst us? Looking for positive solutions not negative belittling.
Guild should look to host a large FIFA tournament with the final played in a large arena. Charging ticket entry with the star attraction David Beckham who will be signing autographs and taking selfies with fans.
That would give Guild a lot of media exposure.
