Esports Mogul’s (ESH) online gaming community will soon be able to access tournaments and matches on the go.

The company today revealed it’s developing a mobile app for iOS and Android and is in the beta-testing phase.

The first iteration of the app is being tested on Android using the Mobile Legends Bang Bang, a popular title released in 2016.

The mobile games market is expected to generate US$86.3 million (A$116.39 million) and constitutes almost half of the global gaming market. It is also growing at twice the rate of the market for PC and console games.

Esports Mogul has been investing in research and development of artificial intelligence in gaming and has culminated in the creation of technology which automates esports tournaments for games which do not have API integrations.

The company said this technology will enable it to access more mobile-based gaming titles and allow it to secure a greater share of the global market.

CEO Michael Rubinelli described the beta launch as an exciting step in the company’s trajectory towards becoming the destination of choice for esports players and sponsors, regardless of location and preferred platform.

“At mogul.gg we are now poised to bring our best-in-class esports experience to the 2.6B mobile gamers around the world. Players will be able to effortlessly create, host, and compete in all of the best branded mobile esports tournaments available anywhere,” he said.

“Additionally, they will enjoy our ever-expanding list of a custom game API integrations which gives players unprecedented levels of automation to greatly enhance their user experience,” he continued.

ESH shares have been trading 7.5 per cent lower at 1.9 cents at 11:34 am AEDT.
