GameRED: Transforming the Esports Landscape of Pakistan

Transforming the Esports Landscape of Pakistan

Overview

GameRED emerged as Pakistan’s first dedicated Esports-as-a-service platform, setting the stage for an entirely new era in competitive gaming. Powered by REDtone Digital Services (RDS) and in collaboration with the global Esports Investment Group (EIG), GameRED set out to establish Pakistan as a regional hub for Esports innovation. The platform aimed to build an ecosystem for gaming talent, focusing on grassroot development, tournament management, and industry evolution.

In 2021, GameRED announced its inaugural Valorant Infinity Cup, introducing a prize pool of PKR 825,000, one of the largest for Esports in the country. With registrations open to players nationwide, the tournament marked the start of a movement to legitimize Esports as a career choice and an industry worthy of investment and development.

The Challenge

Pakistan’s Esports industry was in its infancy, with limited infrastructure, fragmented talent pools, and minimal support from domestic brands or organizations. Players lacked platforms to showcase their skills, and the industry had no structured pipeline for tournaments, broadcasting, or talent incubation. GameRED faced the dual challenge of introducing a professional Esports ecosystem and convincing stakeholders—from players to sponsors—that Esports could thrive as a sustainable industry.

Solutions

GameRED tackled these challenges by adopting a multi-faceted approach to Esports development:

Grassroot Talent Development:

  • The Valorant Infinity Cup focused on discovering and nurturing local talent. Open to players from across Pakistan, the tournament provided a competitive platform for aspiring Esports athletes to showcase their skills on a national stage.

Strategic Partnerships:

  • Collaborating with EIG and domestic sponsors, GameRED brought international best practices to Pakistan’s Esports scene. The partnership allowed access to resources, expertise, and a global network to elevate the quality of tournaments and talent incubation.

Industry Ecosystem Creation

  • GameRED introduced a broader vision for the Esports industry, including broadcasting, merchandising, and talent casting. By building a professional pipeline, GameRED positioned Esports as an integral part of the digital entertainment industry in Pakistan.

Key Milestones

Launched the Valorant Infinity Cup, with registrations from September 17th to 26th, and stages spanning qualifiers, group rounds, semi-finals, and finals from September 27th to October 10th.

Partnered with a leading fintech sponsor to connect with Gen-Z audiences, aligning gaming with lifestyle and growth aspirations.

Expanded the platform’s vision to include broadcasting, merchandise, and league development, further strengthening Pakistan’s foothold in the global Esports landscape.

Results

GameRED successfully positioned itself as a leader in Pakistan’s Esports landscape. By creating a comprehensive ecosystem that nurtures talent, engages audiences, and attracts investment, GameRED set a new benchmark for what Esports could achieve in Pakistan. The Valorant Infinity Cup not only provided players with unprecedented opportunities but also showcased the potential of Esports as a legitimate industry in the country.

Conclusion

GameRED’s pioneering efforts are paving the way for Pakistan to compete on the global Esports stage. With plans to expand into the MENA region and a focus on gaming-as-a-service, GameRED is creating a future where gaming isn’t just entertainment—it’s a profession, a passion, and a platform for innovation.
