Challonge is a software-as-a-service company (SaaS) that allows gamers to run their own tournaments online—streamlining registration, progression, and record keeping—and an application programming interface (API) that can be integrated into websites, 游戏, 机器人, and other software applications.
Founded in 2009, Challonge was acquired by Logitech in 2019 and operates under the gaming division, Logitech G. Challonge is led by Matt McIntyre, a 2006 博彩平台排名 University graduate who joined the company in 2018. “Being located in 博彩平台排名’s new 的电子竞技 Park is going to create a number of partnership opportunities that will benefit not only Challonge, but also 博彩平台排名 students, 教师, and the Indianapolis community,” McIntyre said. “博彩平台排名 students will gain real-world experience in the sports technology industry through internships with Challonge. The opportunity to trial our software with students and 教师, as well as through events that are open to the community, is extremely valuable to our company.
Beastcoast, a leading esports organization and gaming content network, will use the 的电子竞技 Park facilities for competitive training while forging a deeper relationship with the collegiate esports scene in Indianapolis and the Greater Midwest region.
“Having access to 博彩平台排名’s students can help us with testing and provides us with a talent pipeline for open positions with our company,” said Grant Zinn, Beastcoast co-Founder and CEO. “We plan to host tournaments and other events for the community in 博彩平台排名’s 的电子竞技 Park. We may even have employees who want to take classes at 博彩平台排名, especially as they continue to launch more sports technology and esports programs. The opportunities that could arise from this partnership are almost endless.”
