'Metafy,' the Pittsburgh-based online coaching platform for gamers, recently announced the acquisition of 'GamerzClass,' a European center for learning gaming strategies. Metafy will leverage its own expertise combined with the wide database and wide list of connections that GamerzClass has in order to bolster its gaming coaching programs going forward. On top of this, Metafy recently secured $25 million USD in a Series A round of funding, as its coaching program shows promise.
When using Metafy's services, individuals can sign up for a variety of different packages. These packages range from simple written notes from pro players on how to improve at a certain game, all the way up to private, one-on-one coaching sessions with credible gaming professionals. One aspect that the GamerzClass acquisition will allow Metafy to focus more on is self-driven learning, which is a much more feasible model for expansion and scalability than personal sessions.
