The Brave browser is expanding its reach in South Korea with a new partnership with the E-1 Soccer Championship. The tournament is hosted by the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF).
We are currently 6 days into the games, with the championship ending on 18 December. Brave’s role in the tournament is three-fold:
- Providing an LED banner placed on the stadium.
- Match forecasting using AI.
- An exclusive Brave reward.
Here’s what each of the three represents in a little more detail.
LED banner
The aforementioned LED banner will support the soccer teams at the tournament, with the team receiving the most votes in the first half of a match getting dedicated LED banner space in the second half.
Voters who help determine the best teams will get a chance to win a soccer ball that was used in the championship.
AI-based match forecast
Via Brave browser, fans are also be able to predict match outcomes (win/loss), using AI-11, which is basically an “AI-based win/loss prediction system”. Additionally, Brave will provide live player stats during playtime.
Brave award
Brave users can vote on “Brave” players in the tournament, with the bravest ones receiving the Brave award distinction.
