MOZE", which not only manages e-sports teams, but also disseminates contents such as extreme sports and singer-songwriters, has been operating under the concept of "disseminating contents by Generation Z for Generation Z", and is now developing two new major businesses. MOZE" has been operating under the concept of "content transmission by Generation Z for Generation Z", and will now develop two new major businesses.
Development of a new purchasing platform utilizing a fan community
Focusing on the "blurring of the line between real and virtual" that characterizes the digital natives of Generation Z, we will build a platform in which "reward points" have the same value as "real money". Fan activities such as watching streaming videos of players and streamers, posting support messages on SNS, and purchasing goods will be converted into points, which can be used to purchase limited-edition products and content sold within the community! In addition, events such as "social gatherings in the Metaverse (virtual space)," in which only community members can participate, will also be developed to cycle the purchasing cycle.
2. Establishment of a data science-based player development system through the introduction of AI
When constructing tactics for e-sports, AI deep learning technology is used to extract data on the movements of each team displayed on the map to identify "trends in the movements of strong teams. By having players learn "moves and positions that have a high winning rate" in various situations from the data, it will be possible to construct tactics with a high winning rate. The data will be extracted for both "wide-area" and "narrow-area" maps, and the numerical evidence will be used as teaching materials for tactical theory to develop players who can consistently achieve a high winning percentage. The program is scheduled to be implemented in Apex Legends and VALORANT.
Technical Cooperation
