What Gamer does

Gamer.LK is a Sri Lanka-based esports and digital entertainment agency that has organized competitive gaming events and brand experiences for over 15 years, scaling from a community forum initiative into the country's leading esports operator. Its core offering is end-to-end tournament organization across multiple game titles and formats, anchored by recurring flagship properties: the Inter-University Esports Championship (IUEC, 75+ universities, 1,300+ participants in 2023), the Inter-School Esports Championship (ISEC, 90+ schools, running since 2016), and Play Expo (2,500+ players across 25 titles in 2025). The company operates an SLESA-endorsed national ranking system spanning DOTA2, CSGO, and COD4, and runs cloud-based broadcast infrastructure distributed via GLKTV on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.

The company generates revenue through three streams: (1) event organization and sponsorship — title sponsors such as SLT-MOBITEL, Dialog Axiata, and ViewSonic Gaming fund prize pools and event execution; (2) marketing and brand experience services — metaverse activations, influencer campaigns, and tournament marketing for brands such as ViewSonic and Coca-Cola, recognized internationally through Effie, Dragons of Asia, NBQSA, and SLIM Digis awards; and (3) mobile gaming — the in-house Cricket Sixes competitive mobile title positioned as an esports game. Gamer.LK's proprietary IGE Metaverse platform supports virtual product launches with custom NFT avatars, and its global sub-brand InGame Esports extends operations across six South Asian countries including Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Mongolia, and Pakistan, operating regional PUBG MOBILE qualifiers with pathways to international competitions such as PMSL and the Asian Games. The company also curates workplace esports series for enterprise clients including hSenid Business Solutions and Wiley Global Technology. Co-founder Raveen Wijayatilake serves as Managing Director of Gamer.LK, CEO of InGame Esports, and President of the Sri Lanka Esports Association (SLESA), which Gamer.LK co-founded in 2012 and which secured government recognition of esports as an official sport in 2019.
