BEAT is one of the oldest and most established event organizers in Canada, having international experience and being one of the first third-party companies to receive authorization to organize Overwatch tournaments. BEAT organized the first large scale Canadian Dota 2 event at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. Events organized by BEAT have received extensive coverage from outlets such as ESPN, TSN & Score esports and have had successful engagements with Blizzard Entertainment, Valve, Twitch, AMD, SteelSeries and more. In addition to organizing its own events, BEAT provides esports consulting, management and tournament organization services out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDX Innovation stated, “The Company is excited to add this acquisition to its existing esports division and existing work with its ‘Game On’ esports festival. Going forward, the Company intends to focus on a prudent combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions that increase the number of technology based verticals with an emphasis on revenue growth, gross margins and EBITDA. We anticipate that BEAT’s expertise and experience will positively contribute to our existing team. Esports and virtual reality are a great combination and we believe this operation will allow us to introduce new products to the market.”

The letter of intent is non-binding and provides for an exclusivity period of 90 days during which time the parties have agreed to work together to sign a definitive agreement within 60 days.
