British competitive gaming culture brand EXCEL ESPORTS is excited to announce Beyond NRG as the Official Energy Drink Partner for its League of Legends European Championship (LEC) and Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC) rosters as well as its newly launched VALORANT team. EXCEL and Beyond NRG’s partnership will be built on shared goals of elevating player performance through wellbeing and EXCEL’s “Power of Better” manifesto.

Beyond NRG will fuel EXCEL’s League of Legends and VALORANT players to help them perform at the highest level while also ensuring they are consuming healthy ingredients which meet their competitive demands and environments. Beyond NRG’s unique energy drink formula consolidates the best ingredients to help manage stress and pressure, increase reactions and central communication, delivering the body a blend of vitamins and nootropics. With a joint focus on both physical and mental wellbeing, EXCEL and Beyond NRG will work together on content and experiences that will showcase how improvement never stops.

This month EXCEL announced its entrance into VALORANT, one of the world’s fastest-growing esports, with the signing of rising David “Davidp” Prins who takes on the captain role. With a strategic focus on defining its leadership structure, EXCEL is set to announce its coaching staff and then its complete roster next week.

Founded in 2014, EXCEL ESPORTS is a competitive gaming brand steeped in British esports history with a long-standing commitment to nurturing homegrown and European esports talent. As a fellow British brand, Beyond NRG will support EXCEL’s mission of growing the UK esports scene. This past weekend BTXL won its first ever NLC Spring Split cementing its place as the best team across the UK and Nordics. With a ticket to EU Masters, BTXL will now go head to head with some of the best regional teams in Europe.

“Energy drinks can be notorious for their high levels of sugar and unnatural ingredients so it’s great to be able to partner with Beyond NRG which focuses on natural caffeine properties and contains lots of vitamins. Maintaining the right focus can make the difference between winning or losing. Beyond NRG really understands the needs of professional esports players and have created a product that will not only allow us to maintain our values but fuel our players in a balanced and healthy way,” said, Fabian Broich, Head of Performance, EXCEL ESPORTS

“In our initial meetings with the Head of Performance, Fabian Broich, we understood that nutritional support is at the forefront of importance for both Beyond and EXCEL. I genuinely believe that our missions align in this way, healthy heart, healthy mind, and dominating in esports. I’m exceptionally excited to support the new VALORANT division of EXCEL. We believe this to be the fastest-growing competitive game in esports, and I’m thrilled we can back EXCEL with this from the very start of their new adventure.” commented Billy Webb, Founder & CEO, Beyond NRG

1 November 2024 – Esports has experienced explosive growth in Q3 2024, doubling turnover compared to the previous quarter. The average bet on cybersports increased by 17.6% quarter-on-quarter. SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience providing innovative iGaming solutions, shares the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook Q3 2024 report.

The top five sports by Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) remain consistent: Football, Tennis, Basketball, Table Tennis, and eFootball. For the second consecutive quarter, eFootball has outperformed Counter-Strike 2, indicating a shifting interest within the esports sector. Nevertheless, football continues to dominate, contributing nearly half of the total GGR.

The average live bet grew by 10% quarter-on-quarter, a positive development for operators as live bets hold 78.6% of turnover. The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team is actively enhancing the live betting experience, aiming to capitalise on this trend and provide operators with even greater revenue opportunities.

The average bet grew by 9.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 2024, and the number of bets increased by 18.7%. GGR saw a modest growth of 1.5% quarter-on-quarter.

Despite the large number of projects launched for the UEFA Euro 2024, month-on-month statistics show that with the right promotional strategies, projects continue to operate successfully even after such massive events. 

 

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, adds: “Aligning a launch with a major sporting event can be a successful strategy, but football is not the only sport that can be leveraged in this way. The growth of cybersports presents new opportunities; for specialised projects targeting specific audiences, esports events can also serve as an effective starting point. 

We continuously focus on product growth and development, enhancing features and user experience to drive further engagement and profitability for our partners.”
