Esports Integrity Commission Partners With MOONTON and ESL FACEIT Group

The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has formalized new strategic partnerships with MOONTON Games and the ESL FACEIT Group to bolster competitive fairness within the global esports ecosystem. These collaborations, announced in September 2024, focus on strengthening regulatory frameworks and industry-wide cooperation regarding the prevention of cheating, doping, and match-fixing.

The agreement with MOONTON Games, the developer of the popular title Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, centers on a Memorandum of Understanding that facilitates information sharing, educational initiatives, and risk management. As part of this commitment, MOONTON will join the ESIC Publisher Committee to actively participate in the development of standardized integrity policies. This move underscores a concerted effort to secure the mobile esports sector, which continues to experience significant global growth.

Simultaneously, the ESL FACEIT Group has been named the presenting partner for the 2024 ESIC Global Esports Summit. Scheduled for October 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, the summit serves as a platform for industry stakeholders to address emerging challenges and discuss best practices for maintaining competitive integrity. While the financial terms of these partnerships remain undisclosed, the initiatives represent a broader industry trend toward professionalizing governance and standardizing security measures across diverse gaming platforms and tournament organizers.
