LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --MOBIA
ENTERTAINMENT, formed in June
2015, is a new mobile company focused on building
state-of-the-art applications and games. The new venture is backed
by strategic investors, including partner Firefly Games and Sky

The first application Mobia Entertainment will launch this fall
is League Chat, a definitive social e-sports application for
the League of Legends community. The mobile app includes live video

players will be able to contact friends inside and outside the game
with their LoL login, interact with e-sports videos, and share
personal game-related moments. Future versions will include the
development of instant replay sharing, curated league of legends
content and other innovative social e-sports features.
Mobia Entertainment has partnered with both Firefly Games and
Grab Games to expand its technical capabilities and drive its
expansion into global markets. Michael

our expertise of publishing mobile games worldwide and bring that
experience to League Chat." Grab's CEO, Anthony Borquez, quoted, "Our team is ecstatic
to leverage our mobile messaging technology to power League Chat
and form a mobile alliance with Mobia Entertainment and Firefly
