Riding on the rising popularity of video gaming content around the world, the partnership between EMERGE Esports and Mediacorp’s Bloomr.SG underlines the shared commitment between EMERGE Esports and Mediacorp’s Bloomr.SG to continue engaging audiences with quality content while developing Singapore’s content creator community.
