A couple of Singaporean professional esports players have created their own organisation, & with Avium’s endorsement, and will compete under the banner of Slate Esports in the upcoming MPL Singapore due to start in September 2022.


The team will be leveraging Avium’s ecosystem & representing the brand through the decentralised ownership model, by utilising the Avium Founders’ Pass. This means that Slates Esports is a part of Avium’s ecosystem, and will receive support from its community to help the  players establish themselves as an esports team.


“At Avium, our goal is always the same, ‘Enabling Passion; Building Dreams’. When Daryl, a Founders’ Pass holder, reached out to us to support him in building his own dream, we knew we had to support him. This is the beautiful thing about Web3, helping people grow,” mentioned Nathanael Lim, co-founder of Avium.
Holding an Avium Founders Pass grants access to an exclusive community building of the Avium brand together with the founding team. The formation of Slate Esports is a prime example of how Avium supports its community members.


The organisation is formed by SEA Games Bronze Medalist duo Akihiro ‘JPL’ Furusawa & Daryl ‘Youngin’ Ng after being released by EVOS Esports in late July. These players are household names in the gaming community. The majority of the Slate Esports roster was inherited from EVOS SG, who finished 4th place in the most recent World Championship series held in
Singapore in December 2021.


The team’s target is to replicate their success under their new banner. Daryl Ng has expressed his excitement in growing a new chapter in his life with Slate Esports as part of Avium’s ecosystem. Slate Esports is looking to qualify for the $USD 800,000 prize pool World Championship in Jakarta on January 2023.


Daryl Ng, the founder of Slate Esports, said: “Never in a thousand years I thought I would say that I own an esports organisation, yet here we are. Firstly, I have to thank Avium for believing in us to support and support us in our journey. We are extremely proud to represent the community and will aim to be the best.”

Avium is a Web3 media start focusing on building an entertainment & media network. Recently,
they secured a US$2M pre-seed round led by Saison Capital. It includes East Ventures, Mirana
Ventures, angel investors such as Ricky Ow (ex-Warner Media) and more.

Iveda, a global leader in AI-driven video surveillance and smart-city technologies, announced that Subic Sun Development Inc. has chosen the IvedaAI platform as the video surveillance solution for the soon-to-open Subic Sun Resort, Convention & Casino. IvedaAI was selected early in the build-out to inform camera placement and ensure frictionless integration with future-ready, AI-powered analytics. Located on the former U.S. naval base in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone—a special economic hub that hosts thousands of international and local businesses—the resort will feature 500 guest rooms, a state-of-the-art convention center, a luxury casino and two Accor-brand hotels, Ibis Styles and Mercure, scheduled to open in December 2025.

The decision comes as global resort operators sharpen their focus on safety, service and operational efficiency. The global resort market generated $347 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach nearly $945 billion by 2030, an 18.5% CAGR. IvedaAI’s AI-enabled video analytics will help property staff lower security costs, respond to incidents faster and unlock data-driven insights that boost both guest satisfaction and bottom-line performance.

“Iveda being selected as a premier security and surveillance provider before the first Subic Sun Resort guest ever checks in is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to providing state-of- the-art monitoring technology. By designing camera layouts around IvedaAI’s real-time analytics, Subic Sun can optimize coverage, reduce blind spots, and deliver safer, smoother guest experiences—without a costly equipment overhaul. We expect more ground-up projects to follow this blueprint,” said David Ly, CEO and Founder of Iveda.

Iveda Philippines—Iveda’s joint venture focused on nationwide smart-city deployment—secured the Subic Sun contract and will oversee the on-site rollout. The win represents the team’s first major hospitality project and advances its plan to generate US $3 million in smart-city revenue by FY 2026, building on the broader initiative it announced last year.
