Game.tv has raised $25 million in funding for Tourney, its AI-powered esports tournament platform for mobile games.

While rivals have tried to start their own social media platforms, Game.tv is embracing those that are already popular with mobile gaming fans.

Users can set up and operate mobile gaming tournaments directly through the popular apps.
