Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Motorsport Gaming US LLC (the “Company”), enclosed is a copy of Amendment No. 2 to the above-referenced Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof. For your convenience, we are also delivering to you a copy of Amendment No. 2 marked to show changes from Amendment No. 1 to the above-referenced Registration Statement filed with the Commission on December 31, 2020.
The changes reflected in Amendment No. 2 include those made in response to the comments of the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) set forth in the Staff’s letter, dated January 4, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”). Amendment No. 2 also includes other changes that are intended to update, clarify and render more complete the information contained therein.
Set forth below in this letter is the Company’s response to the comment raised in the Comment Letter. For the convenience of the Staff, the Company has restated in this letter the comment in the Comment Letter. Capitalized terms used and not defined have the meanings given in Amendment No. 2.

page 40
1. | Clarify the number of shares you purchased that the minority stockholder alleges did not follow the right of first refusal provisions in the Stockholders’ Agreement, and the percentage of the total outstanding shares of 704Games that these shares represent. Please also clarify the implications of remedies sought by the minority stockholder, including whether there is risk to your majority controlling ownership interest of 704Games. |
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 40 in Amendment No. 2 to, among other things, clarify that the Company purchased an aggregate of 116,608 shares of common stock of 704Games (representing approximately 28.7% of the outstanding shares of 704Games) in connection with its August 2020 and October 2020 purchases from certain selling stockholders. The Company advises the Staff that no remedies have been sought by the minority stockholder in connection with this matter as of the date of the filing of Amendment No. 2. Additionally, the Company has carefully reviewed this matter with legal counsel and firmly believes that the allegations are completely without merit. The Company further advises the Staff that it does not believe there is a material risk to the Company’s majority controlling ownership interest of 704Games because the Company already owned 53.5% of the outstanding shares of 704Games prior to the August 2020 and October 2020 acquisitions in question, and it does not believe that there is a material risk to the Company overall.
