Gamesquare extends the partnership between Complexity Gaming and Miller Lite for the fourth consecutive year

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2023 / GameSquare Esports Inc. (CSE:GSQ)(OTCQB:GMSQF)(FRA:29Q1) ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that Complexity Gaming has renewed its partnership with Miller Lite for the fourth consecutive year, reflecting the power of Complexity's brand within the esports market, and Miller Lite's commitment to supporting the gaming community and culture.

"Since 2019, we have built a powerful partnership with Miller Lite and we are excited to extend our collaboration with one of the best-known global brands," said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. "Partnerships are a key component of our growth strategy, which is helping increase our mix of reoccurring revenue opportunities. Leading brands like Miller Lite are continually coming to the GameSquare family of companies because of our ability to connect brands with gaming and esports fans through our vertically integrated platform of esports teams, digital agencies, media network, content production, and merchandise design assets."

"Miller Lite is so excited to extend its strategic partnership with Complexity Gaming," said James Nanney, Senior Marketing Manager of Miller Lite. "Miller Time means connecting with friends and family over an ice-cold beer, and we know that gaming provides opportunities to cultivate those same connections. As the leading esports brand, Complexity has been a phenomenal partner in helping bring those moments to the gaming community."

The renewing partnership between the two organizations expands several exciting elements, including sponsorship of the Miller Lite Player Lounge within Complexity's shared headquarters with the Dallas Cowboys at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The Miller Lite Player Lounge is a dedicated area for players to relax with one another as well as with coaches and the management team. The private space will also feature a video wall, where Complexity can watch and support other esports teams during competitions. Ice-cold Miller Lite will be available on tap for of-age players to celebrate big wins responsibly. Additionally, Miller Lite will be featured on select Complexity streams, social media posts, and merchandising, as well as custom video content.

Complexity Gaming was acquired by GameSquare Esports in June of 2021. Since then, GameSquare has invested in Complexity's platform by signing leading streamers and content creators including TimTheTatman, Cloakzy, and the Baka Bros, and has strived to continue to add female content creators which are now at parity with male creators. The organization has launched Complexity Stars, the world's first gaming division for celebrities and professional athletes, and a female and non-binary Valorant team, GX3, that competes in the VCT Game Changers program. As a result of these investments in Complexity Gaming, the aggregate following for Complexity has grown from approximately ten million, to more than 105 million and continues to expand with the addition of new talent, teams, and Complexity Stars members. The rapid growth of the audience has provided scale and amplified brand awareness including a multi-year sponsorship between Complexity Gaming and Lenovo. The sponsorship with Lenovo made it the exclusive desktop and laptop PC provider and Complexity's Frisco-based headquarters, named the Lenovo Legion Esports Center.

About Miller Brewing Company

Miller Brewing Company was founded in 1855 by Frederick J. Miller when he purchased the Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee, a city he chose as the best place for a brewery given its access to great water. Miller Lite, the original great-tasting light pilsner beer, (MillerLite.com, Facebook.com/MillerLite, @MillerLite on Twitter, YouTube.com/MillerLite) was introduced nationally in 1975 and is among the top-five selling beers in the United States. The brewery's oldest enduring beer is Miller High Life (MillerHighLife.com, Facebook.com/MillerHighLife, @MillerHighLife on Twitter). Known as the Champagne of Beers, it was introduced in 1903 and still is brewed with the same yeast strain that Miller carried in his pocket from Germany. Miller Genuine Draft (MGD.com, Facebook.com/MillerGenuineDraft, @Miller_Global on Twitter), introduced in 1986, is the original cold-filtered, packaged draft beer. Miller Brewing Company is part of the North America business unit of Molson Coors Beverage Company.
