11/18/21: Activision report revives backlash; Halo’s global conquest plans; DraftKings’ new realm
  Thursday November 18, 2021 Good morning! It’s Thursday and this is your weekly Esports Brief.  Amid ongoing allegations and investigations against executives and staff members at Activision Blizzard, the Wall Street Journal published news this week that – despite claims to the contrary – company CEO Bobby Kotick was directly aware of harassment allegations against company leaders and did not inform the Board of Directors of the claims nor his role in dealing with them. In addition, subsequent reports claimed that Kotick also had multiple harassment claims against him. More recently, the article also states that despite touting moves to improve corporate culture, the news of newly appointed Blizzard co-lead Jennifer Oneal announcing her departure earlier this month was a result of being paid less than her male counterpart while being “tokenized, marginalized, and discriminated against” at the company.As a result of the report, backlash grew as employees staged another walkout on Tuesday in protest of the news (an Activision response states that claims in the WSJ article were misconstrued) while a group of shareholders, led by union pension group the SOC Investment Group, called for the resignation of Kotick and the retirement of two other members of the board of directors: Brian Kelly and Robert Morgado. The board, meanwhile, issued a statement that they supported Kotick’s actions and recent decisions to change company culture. According to the corporate site, board members also include names such as Casey Wasserman, Dawn Ostroff, Peter Nolan, Barry Meyer, Hendrick Hartong III, Reveta Bowers and Robert Corti. Meanwhile, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan expressed his disappointment at Activision’s response. In an email sent to PlayStation staff, Ryan said he felt “disheartened and frankly stunned,” according to Bloomberg, and notes that Activision “has not done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment.” COMPETITION  A monster week for Halo fans as 343 Industries released a well-received game in Halo Infinite as well as its global plans for its competitive players, laying out plans into 2022, in partnership with Esports Engine, for a “global community of all different shapes and sizes, as well as various needs and characteristics that are endemic to that region.” Play begins with the previously-announced HCS Kickoff Major in Raleigh on Dec. 17.

An auto battler is a strategic, chess-like game where players place characters on a grid-like battlefield during a preparation phase. Then, the characters battle enemies during a battle phase without any direct input from the player. Teamfight Tactics has been the predominant auto battler since its release in 2019. With the launch of the latest set (character update) for TFT, the game has now eclipsed its highest ever weekly viewership. So, should brands be looking at TFT as a promising opportunity to reach a different category of the video game audience?· The Set 6 release week generated 13% more hours watched than Set 5 and 158% more than Set 5.5 · Riot Games, the developer/publisher of Teamfight Tactics, have created the game using the same characters from their MOBA title, League of Legends. Producing multiple titles with familiar characters allows Riot Games to expand on their growing universe and create affinity within their broader community. The Riot Games universe will likely continue to grow, generating parallels to something like the Marvel universe in the movie industry. · Brands looking to target strategic, intelligent gamers might want to consider Teamfight Tactics as content during campaigns. And, of course, the best time to activate would be during new set launches when viewership is peaking. For more live streaming viewership data, please visit www.streamhatchet.com.
