Mobalytics raises $11.25 million for gaming assistant for hardcore players

Mobalytics has raised $11.25 million for its gaming assistant platform, which offers an automated way to coach millions of wannabe pro gamers on League of Legends and other games. Providing analytics for such games might sound like overkill, but Mobalytics says more than 7 million players use its service, which delivers advice and information in real time.

“I’ve always wanted a companion application when I’m playing, and I think of it as similar to Google Assistant or Siri, but much more narrow in its focus for your gaming needs and wants,” Mobalytics co-CEO Amine Issa said in an interview with GamesBeat. “That’s our goal. That’s how we’re a little different from the rest of the competition.”
