The world-renowned gaming live streaming platform Nimo hosted its annual global gala in Thailand, a grand event that saw a gathering of nearly a thousand excellent streamers from around the globe, guests from diverse backgrounds, and celebrities, all converging in Bangkok to witness the grand unveiling of multiple annual awards. This year’s Nimo Global Gala was a testament to the internationalization of its business and its strong foothold in the gaming and pan-entertainment industry.
Stepping into the gala venue was akin to immersing oneself in the world of games with the venue modeled after the globally acclaimed MMORPG game “Tarisland”, recreating the grandeur and mystery of the game’s universe. The symphony orchestra, accompanied by the intense and captivating theme music, transported attendees into the world of Tarisland instantly. The venue also featured a game trial area and interactive check-in area, where players could experience the latest version of the game, take photos with their favorite cosers, and interact with the “Top Ten Star Group Leaders” selected by global fans. These ten “Star Group Leaders” include zbing z from Thailand, Windah Basudara from Indonesia, and Hypebits TV from the Philippines. As the highlight of the gala, Nimo awarded more than 50 prestigious awards that night to acknowledge the streamers, guilds, and partners for their exceptional performance in 2023. Among them, the “Most Popular Game Streamer” in Vietnam was won by the renowned streamer MixiGaming, and the “Top 1 Streamer National Glory” in Indonesia, Turkey, and the Middle East were respectively won by Indonesian streamer Depinaa, Turkish streamer Serife Nur, and Middle Eastern streamer ALZ3EEM. Streamer MixiGaming expressed his gratitude for the support of Nimo, fans, and the team, and shared his significant breakthroughs with Nimo in commercial cooperation and platform content interaction over the past year.
Over the past year, Nimo has garnered the support of numerous partners including the award-winning "Volcano Engine" as “Best Overseas Cloud Service Provider” and Tarisland as the recipient of the “Most Anticipated MMO Award for 2024". Locojoy’s CEO Guo Shi, a leading figure in game development, shared that Tarisland not only preserves the pure joy of classic MMORPGs and inherits the timeless fantasy art style, but also revives the thrill of challenging dungeon adventures and immersive exploration. The game offers nine distinct classes, allowing players to tailor their character builds to their preferences and gameplay style. In terms of game music and atmosphere creation, the acclaimed European and American musician Russell Brower was invited to compose the music, further enhancing the game’s quality. The game has garnered global attention during its CBT (Closed Beta Test) phase with its exquisite visuals, realistic effects, and other features earning high praise from global fans. Guo Shi revealed that Tarisland has now opened global pre-registration and is slated for a global launch in June 2024. Tarisland and Nimo will join forces to swiftly introduce Tarisland to Southeast Asian users. With the support of Nimo’s popular game streamers, KOLs, and professional game streaming operation experience, Tarisland is set to secure its place in the competitive MMO market. At the gala, renowned Thai artists AOM, BNK48, PRIME TIME, and PEARJA set the stage on fire with their electrifying performances and sizzling dances. Vietnamese streamers added a unique flavor to the event with their original Vietnamese rap and a medley of songs in multiple languages. Streamers from Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam showcased their rich cultural heritage with traditional Thai boxing displays. Together, these celebrities and streamers orchestrated a visual extravaganza that captivated fans worldwide.
