The company's esports edtech solution, designed to help players enhance their skills, was highly rated.
A Korean startup recognized for its global growth potential won the Platinum Prize, which is the highest award, at the 3rd Asia Edtech Summit (AES) Global Award held in Tokyo on November 1, 2022 . This company received high scores on evaluation items such as novelty, reliability, usefulness, application of technology, and business promotion. Having been thus honored, the company is now attracting greater attention in the industry.
Platinum Prize being granted at award ceremony of AES Global Award
The company that received this award is The Match Lab (CEO Byun Sungchul).
The Match Lab, a member of the Born2Global Centre (CEO Kim Jong -kap) and one of the most trusted startups in the Korean esports education industry, was co-founded by CEO Byun Sungchul, a first-generation professional gamer, game team coach, and global esports event organizer who has been building his career since 1999, and CGO Won Youngju, who has been working as a cultural content creator and education planner for over 15 years.

"MY GAME TIPS /mgt.gg" is a coaching tool and gamer edtech solution that has been researched and developed for two years based on the established expertise of an offline academy that trained amateur gamers to become professionals. Just by browsing their nickname in the game, users can be evaluated of their game skills and weaknesses and recommendations of appropriate video content containing tips from professional coaches.
In particular, optimized tips in video are produced after extracting specific replays using Search tool that enables coaches to search for desired condition data. After the completion of internal testing, this video content will be linked with the coaching tool.
MY GAME TIPS /mgt.gg, officially launched on September 13 , was used for a data coaching program that was created for advanced gamers wanting to start a career as an esports coach in July and August of this year. In the initial research phase in 2020 and 2021, we applied our data coaching program to data analysis, coaching, and player selection of the Tier 1 professional game teams in Korea, Turkey , and Vietnam . In doing so, we conducted various experiments to provide realistic coaching solutions.
The Platinum Prize gave The Match Lab an opportunity to expand its education services from game generation to the educational ecosystem, going beyond esports. Starting next year, the company plans to cooperate with game teams, universities, and international organizations to advance into the global market.
The Match Lab has also operated an esports lab academy certified by the Ministry of Education with the goal of enhancing gamers' ability through the identification of problems and development of problem-solving technologies.

Take Inspiration from Player Who Has Already Won the First Two Open Venture Valley Tournaments
Starting November 15th the Venture Valley team will host weekly Tuesday night community nights on the Venture Valley Discord channel . Players can win prizes and hone their skills for future open esports tournaments that are planned to kick off in 2023. Venture Valley is a free (no in-app purchases or ads) fast-paced multiplayer business simulation on PC (via Steam ) and mobile ( iOS and Android ) game from The Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship . Venture Valley players put their entrepreneurial skills to the test to create the most profitable companies and conquer business challenges.

Oliver Stoner-German , a finance major at University of Arizona FORGE , won the grand prize in two Venture Valley college tournaments. In late October, student entrepreneurs from around the world took part in the Venture Valley video game tournament held at the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization's (CEO) 39th Annual Global Conference & Pitch Competition in Chicago.  Stoner-German walked away with bragging rights and the grand prize of $10K . He honed his winning skills on September 30th , when 100 players from the University of Arizona , Pima Community College , and Cochise Community College vied to make the most profit in the game.  In that tournament, Stoner-German took home a $2500 prize.
"What I like about Venture Valley is that I get to apply business skills that I learn in the classroom into a real-life scenario," said Stoner-German. "It's a lot of things that we learn in economics about maxing out revenue, maxing out profit, etc. that I get to apply in a situation that resembles real life."
Venture Valley features both competitive esports-style multiplayer play and a single-player campaign with 35 unique missions, giving students both a fun outlet to compete with friends in positive ways and practice entrepreneurship and personal financial skills on their own. Budding entrepreneurs get to experience the highs and lows of being their own boss but need to keep in mind that along with success comes rivals.
Hosted by SuperLeague Gaming the community nights will take place every Tuesday from 5- 6:30PM PST . Players can register on the Venture Valley Discord channel . Weekly 1st place prize winners will receive $100 ; 2nd place will receive $50 ; and 10 players will receive $20 . All prizes are delivered as digital debit/gift cards. One lucky winner will receive a TUMI ESPORTS PRO SLING
A full listing of events is located on the Venture Valley Events calendar .
Venture Valley is a free (no in-app purchases or ads) PC and mobile (iOS and Android) game. The game is a project of the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit with the mission of making financial competence fun and engaging for everyone by using the power of entertainment to capture attention, create change, promote entrepreneurship, and to inspire individual achievement. https://venturevalleygame.com
