Under the terms of their agreement, the two sides announced the launch of the Huayan T³Project on Wednesday.

Their common goal is to build a new esports platform in the markets of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The pair is looking to work closely in various esports fields including game licensing, venue construction, education, training, leisure sports, e-sports standardization, think tanks, association establishment and media outlets.
