Gaming Lifestyle Site Curse Raises $16 Million

Gaming lifestyle company Curse announced today it has raised $10 million in new venture capital funding and $6 million from a venture debt fund. GGV Capital led the VC round, and its managing director Hans Tung will join the board. Curse’s network of websites, which claims more than 26 million unique viewers per month, caters to gamers looking for tips and tricks or who want to connect with other players of the same popular games, such as League of Legends and Minecraft. The Alabama-based company also sponsors eSports teams and recently released a voice chat client for games that otherwise lack it.
