■ What is RAGE?
RAGE is an e-sports event operated in collaboration with CyberZ Co., Ltd., Avex Entertainment Co., Ltd. and TV Asahi Co., Ltd., which combines various entertainment aspects with the next-generation sports competition “e-sports”. And it is e-sports entertainment that overturns common sense. At RAGE, we run “official tournaments” for popular titles such as Apex Legends, VALORANT, Shadowverse, and Granblue Fantasy Versus, as well as offline and online general participation “events” and “professional leagues” that determine the top of professional teams. , We are implementing three projects. It continues to break the record of the number of simultaneous users in the official domestic competition, and is the number one in Japan in terms of the total number of mobilization and total number of viewers at e-sports events.
