We demonstrated with our past work in Korea that we can provide the full package that fits their needs.ĮSI: Are their any unique challenges when it comes to producing a mobile league instead of a PC-based league? JL: They look at three different criteria: creating and operating leagues, creating shoulder programming and content, and then marketing and sales. “We can provide the full package that fits their needs”ĮSI: Why did Supercell decide to bring another company to handle the production? OGN wasn’t involved with the inaugural season of CRL. We want to show that with the Clash Royale League. One of the things we wanted to show with our studio is that even though it was built for Battle Royale, it’s modular. Once we established ourselves in North America last year, we picked up the conversation and – because of our ability to create leagues and shoulder content – they felt as if we’d be the perfect partner for them.ĮSI: Did OGN’s work on the National PUBG League help to solidify the deal at all? Justin Lee: At OGN, we established our relationship with Supercell by working with Clash Royale in Korea. To get a better understanding of exactly how this partnership came about and what to expect in the upcoming season, we spoke to Justin Lee, Head of Partnerships at OGN Esports.Įsports Insider: How did this partnership come to be?
