- GGToor, Inc. operates as a development stage company in the eSports and entertainment industry, focusing on global eSports, youth sports, and family sports entertainment markets. The company manufactures and sells a range of products and services including eSports event organization through its subsidiary Shadow Gaming, which enables users to establish and manage eSports tournaments on its gaming platform GGToor.com.

The company plans to build a comprehensive entertainment complex in the Metaverse including an eSports Arena, Concert Arena, residential buildings, a mall, a major event venue, and themed entertainment zones such as Movie Land. In late 2022, GGToor also announced the launch of GGToor Media Network, a 24-hour news and information platform covering gaming, Web3, technology, and AI sectors. These developments mark a strategic expansion from traditional eSports operations into virtual real estate and digital media spaces with a strong focus on immersive entertainment experiences.
