Wynn Resorts has launched a new exhibit, Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition, at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. Made with support from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the exhibit will be live until 13 October 2024 and will feature 30 rare, ultra-luxury vehicles with a value of HK$1.5bn (US$190m), with brands including Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and McLaren, among others.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, gives visitors an up-close and rare glimpse into the pinnacle of automotive excellence. Many of these stunning hypercars are on display in Macao for the first time at this unprecedented Wynn Signature collection, making the exhibit a true testament to the “Only at Wynn” experience. The goal of this exhibition is to give visitors an opportunity to experience Wynn’s exclusive signature lifestyle offerings while using the “Tourism+” model to highlight the unique diversity of Macao as a “World Center for Tourism and Leisure”.

Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Wynn Macau Limited said: “As a ‘Wynn Signature’ lifestyle experience, the ‘Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition’ presents an unprecedented level of technological craftsmanship, once-in-a-lifetime discoveries, and luxurious lifestyle experiences. ‘Wynn Signature’ is dedicated to strengthening and expanding Macao’s position as an international city. As one of the key members in the international hospitality industry, we are committed to showcasing Macao’s unique positioning to a global audience.”

Mr. Cheng Wai Tong, Acting Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) said in his speech at the launch ceremony: “With MGTO striving to foster diversification of the ‘tourism +’ offerings, it is pleased to witness tourism operator’s continuing efforts to innovate. The development of tourism services and products targeting the needs of visitors of different profiles coming from diverse markets injects novel elements into Macao’s tourism experience, offering visitors a special and memorable travel experience. As a wide array of festive events approach in the second semester of this year’s double anniversary celebration, the tourism industry and related sectors are called to duly prepare to welcome visitors from around the world and showcase Macao’s wide array of tourism and cultural features, helping to solidify the city’s position as a world center of tourism and leisure.”

On display at the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition” is an exclusive collection of 30 luxurious hypercars from 10 of the world’s leading automotive brands. Wynn Palace has set a major exhibition area for the collection, with even more luxury vehicles on display across multiple locations throughout Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. This year’s exhibition showcases the fastest and rarest of hypercars, including the track-focused Pagani Huayra R, known for its uncompromising performance; Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, which has a “Magic Wing” to create enormous downforce; the classic Ferrari Enzo Hypercar with a roaring V12 engine; the limited-edition Aston Martin V12 Speedster launched in celebration of Aston Martin’s 100th anniversary; and the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster – the most expensive car in Lamborghini history with just 9 vehicles worldwide. Also on display at the Wynn Palace East Entrance is a remarkable replica of a Formula 1 racing car made entirely of chocolate and fondant. A team of award-winning pastry chefs from the US, who have worked for Hollywood films and Disneyland art production, spent 360 hours to meticulously handcraft the chocolate sports car which spans 2.5 meters and weighs 100 kilograms. The incredible attention to detail in the creation of the chocolate model resembles that of the masterful craftsmanship of the real hypercars on display. Visitors can take photos alongside the 1.5-meter-long chocolate racing car on display at the Lakeside Trattoria at Wynn Macau.

Throughout the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition”, Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace are presenting a series of activities and exciting events to complement the exhibit including innovative racing-themed culinary surprises at signature restaurants, special promotional offers from designated retail stores at Wynn Palace, and a “Hyper Shop” pop-up store will be set up where racing enthusiasts may purchase a variety of limited-time only racing-themed products and immerse themselves in multi-sensory experiences. In celebration of the 18th anniversary of Wynn Macau and the 8th anniversary of Wynn Palace, visitors will not want to miss out on the “Wynn’s Anniversary Extravaganza: High-Speed Thrills Grand Lucky Draw”! For the grand lucky draw prize, Wynn is giving away a race track / paddock experience worth MOP388,888. From August 5 to October 13, visitors who spend MOP18,000 or more at The Shops at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace will also have a weekly chance to receive shopping vouchers worth up to MOP30,000.

Also, from August 5 to August 31, luxury watchmaker Roger Dubuis will have “Reaction Training Light Experience” at its boutiques in The Shops at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, where guests can experience first-hand the daily practice routines of professional race car drivers and admire the brand’s iconic “Hyper Horology” watches inspired by motorsport.

Following the launch of its inaugural women-focused VALORANT tournament La Imperia, the Insurgence Gaming Company has announced its second competitive initiative, MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, a series of open community tournaments created to make organised competition more accessible to emerging players.

While La Imperia introduced a visibility-led invitational format, the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins take a different approach. The series is built around open participation and will be hosted entirely online, with all tournament operations managed through Discord. This allows teams from across India to compete in a structured setting without the restrictions often associated with invite-only events.

The Play-Ins are designed as a starting point for players and teams who want to experience organised competition. Matches will be played in a 5v5 MOBA Draft Pick format, with scheduling, match reporting, and communication handled through dedicated Discord channels.

The announcement continues Insurgence Gaming Company’s early focus on grassroots esports. The company was created to address gaps in India’s competitive ecosystem, particularly at the amateur and semi-professional level where consistent tournament opportunities are still limited.

Speaking on the launch, Jasper Shabin, Founder of the Insurgence Gaming Company, said: “With La Imperia, we focused on visibility. With the Discord Play-Ins, the focus shifts to access. Competitive players need regular places to play, improve, and test themselves, not just one-off tournaments. MOBA Legends 5v5 is one of the most accessible competitive titles on mobile, which makes it a strong fit for an open, community-driven format.”

Beyond competition, the Discord Play-Ins are also intended to build a sense of continuity. Players will have access to channels dedicated to match coordination, tournament updates, and post-game discussion, helping teams stay connected beyond a single tournament run.

With the MOBA Legends 5v5 Discord Play-Ins, the Insurgence Gaming Company continues to shape its identity around community-first formats, pairing visibility-led initiatives like La Imperia with open competitive pathways that support long-term grassroots growth in Indian esports.

S8UL Esports, a global powerhouse in esports and gaming content, delivered a landmark performance by finishing among the top five teams globally at the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) 2026 Championship, held in Sapporo, Japan from January 15 to 18. This result represents the best ever finish by an Indian organization on the Apex Legends global stage, setting a new benchmark for Indian esports at the highest level of international competition.

The ALGS 2026 Championship, the crowning event of the Apex Legends competitive calendar, brought together 40 of the world’s most consistent and high-performing teams from the year-long global circuit. S8UL’s all-Australian roster featuring Rick Wirth (Sharky), Benjamin Spaseski (Jesko), and Tom Canty (Legacy), led by head coach Harrison Rogers (Rogers), delivered a standout campaign and emerged as the only South Asian team to secure a Top 5 finish at the premier international Apex Legends event. The team earned USD 120,000 (approximately INR 1 crore) from the tournament’s USD 2,000,000 (approximately INR 18.14 crore) total prize pool.

Commenting on the achievement, Animesh Agarwal, Co-founder and CEO, S8UL, said, “Over the years, we have built one of India’s strongest gaming creator ecosystems and a solid foundation in content. In the last 18 months, we have deliberately expanded our focus to global esports investments across multiple titles, and performances like this validate that vision. Our ambition is to compete and win at the highest level worldwide. We are investing deeply, assembling world-class international rosters, and representing S8UL on the global stage from India. A top five finish at ALGS is a major milestone, and it marks only the beginning of what we believe will be a very strong future for S8UL in esports.”

S8UL began their campaign in Group B, navigating a demanding round-robin stage where all 40 teams were divided into four groups of 10. The team’s consistent performances saw them finish among the top 20 teams, earning a spot in the Winners Bracket and keeping them firmly in title contention.

From there, S8UL qualified for the Grand Finals, where the remaining 20 teams competed under the high-pressure Match Point Format. Under this system, a team must reach 50 points and then secure a match win to claim the championship, with the remaining teams ranked by total points. Across nine final matches, S8UL accumulated 64 points to finish fifth overall, just one point behind fourth-placed GROW Gaming, underlining how closely contested the championship was.

“The margins at this level are extremely fine, and the team showed tremendous composure throughout the tournament. From the group stage through to the finals, the players displayed adaptability, trust, and resilience. Finishing in the top five globally is a major milestone, and it reinforces our confidence in this roster’s ability to contend for championships in the future,” commented Harrison Rogers, coach of S8UL’s Apex Legends team.

S8UL’s performance at the ALGS 2026 Championship builds on the organisation’s growing presence in international Apex Legends competition. In 2025, S8UL competed at the ALGS Midseason Playoffs as part of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, where the organisation also became the first Indian team to be selected as a Club Partner for the tournament. With consecutive appearances at Apex Legends’ premier global events, S8UL continues to establish itself as a consistent contender on the world stage and a flagbearer for Indian esports internationally.
