GAT Esports Academy

On September 5, the Bogotá Marriott Hotel will host an innovative academic agenda starting at 9 am. This space is designed to update knowledge and open a constructive dialogue on the current situation of esports in the country.

The gamification strategy for the academic day, with the participation of the audience, will be based on the virtual betting game with artificial intelligence, Frente de Batalla, a new product created by the software company Mobadoo, which will be launched by the BetPlay platform in its portfolio of online games.

At the end of the afternoon of September 5, at the Marriott Hotel, prizes will be awarded to the winners of the gamification activity.
