Nimo Global Gala presented over 50 awards
This year’s Nimo Global Gala showcased the platform’s international stature and its firm grasp on the gaming and pan-entertainment industry. Stepping into the gala venue was akin to immersing oneself in the world of games, as it was inspired by the globally acclaimed MMORPG game “Tarisland“, recreating the grandeur and mystery of its universe.
Accompanied by intense and captivating theme music, the symphony orchestra transported attendees into the realm of Tarisland instantly. The venue also featured a game trial area and an interactive check-in area, providing attendees with the opportunity to experience the latest version of the game, take photos with their favourite cosplayers, and interact with the “Top Ten Star Group Leaders” selected by global fans. These ten “Star Group Leaders” include BIU BIU from Malaysia, zbing z from Thailand, Windah Basudara from Indonesia, and Hypebits TV from the Philippines.
As the highlight of the gala, Nimo presented over 50 prestigious awards to acknowledge the exceptional performance of streamers, guilds, and partners in 2023.
