Emerge Gaming shares surge on deal for "Netflix of Gaming"

Shares in the eSports company Emerge Gaming (ASX: EM1) have risen 43 per cent this morning after it announced the execution of a global distribution agreement with Singapore-based Cloudzen Pte Ltd, putting it in the system of what has been dubbed the "Netflix of Gaming".
The partnership allows the group to use its intellectual property for "GameCloud", a portal that gives gamers instant access to hundreds of AAA-rated 3D graphic games and live streaming on mobile devices without the need to download the game.
