Flexion to Bring More Scopely Games to Alternative App Stores Around the Globe
Flexion, the games distribution company, is bringing additional Scopely games, specifically “MONOPOLY GO!” and “Stumble Guys,” to the Alternative App stores: Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, ONE Store, Huawei AppGallery and Xiaomi GetApps, delivering these beloved mobile experiences to even more audiences. “MONOPOLY GO!” is available now, with “Stumble Guys” coming later this year.
Flexion has been a longtime partner of Scopely, expanding the company’s portfolio across platforms since 2015. Flexion additionally supports a number of other Scopely titles on the Alternative App Stores such as “Star Trek Fleet Command” and “Yahtzee With Buddies,” among others.
“Stumble Guys” and “MONOPOLY GO!” are Scopely’s newest titles, with “Stumble Guys” a party battle royale experience, being acquired by Scopely in 2022, and “MONOPOLY GO!” launching in April 2023. Following its global launch, “MONOPOLY GO!” quickly became the #1 mobile board game in the world and was the biggest casual mobile game launch of the last five years in the west. The game is also currently the #1 top-grossing mobile game in the US on the Apple App Store and Google Play. “Stumble Guys” is enjoyed by tens of millions of players every week, and was also one of the top 10 most downloaded apps in the world in 2022. Both games are designed, live operated and published by Scopely.
“Scopely is one of the world’s leading mobile-first games companies, and we are delighted to expand our partnership with them. Flexion has unique technology, expertise, and experience that has enabled us to support partners such as Scopely by bringing beloved, highly engaging game experiences to even more audiences across Alternative App Store platforms. We are excited to help further extend the reach of ‘MONOPOLY GO!’ and ‘Stumble Guys’ in collaboration with Scopely,” Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion, said.
Flexion’s distribution services aim to amplify game businesses with limited effort required by the developer/publisher, working directly with the Alternative App Stores. On average, Flexion boosts revenue by more than 10% for the top ten games it distributes on Alternative App Stores. In 2022, Flexion acquired Audiencly, a leading influencer marketing agency for games, adding an extra dimension to its services.
HLTV will stage the HLTV Awards presented by 1xBet in Belgrade, Serbia on January 9, 2027, returning to the Sava Center. The company said more than 1,000 players, industry professionals, creators, and fans are expected to attend.
HLTV also confirmed Dust2 creator David Johnston will feature as an award announcer. HLTV linked the booking to the 25th anniversary of Dust2.
For 2026, HLTV is updating its Hall of Fame process and eligibility rules. Four players will be inducted again, with “at least two and up to three” slots reserved for players from the Counter-Strike 1.6 and early eras. HLTV also removed the former “neo rule,” allowing players to be inducted for their playing careers even if they remain active in other roles such as coaching.
HLTV is adding a Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be decided by the Hall of Fame Board. The ceremony will also move Community Awards onto the main stage show for the first time, rather than the pre-show segment.
Separately, HLTV will kick off the 2027 Awards season with an invite-only “HLTV Awards by 1xBet Launch Party x GRID” in Cologne during the Major. HLTV said industry members can apply for an invite to the ceremony via its awards page.

S8UL Esports’ League of Legends roster has qualified to represent India at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, running from September 19 to October 4. The organisation said the team secured qualification through the regional qualifiers after winning the National Esports Championships (NESC) 2026, described as the official national qualification tournament for the Asian Games.
S8UL said the roster competing under India’s banner is Akshaj Shenoy (Kat Bot), Aakash Shandilya (Infi), Sanindhya Malik (Deadcorporal), Mihir Ranjan (Lotus), Ahmed Shahid (Nero), and Rahul Bisht (Bob). The regional qualifiers featured 14 teams across a group stage and a split stage, with top performers advancing to the Asian Games main event.
In Group B, the team went unbeaten against Jordan, Sri Lanka, and Kazakhstan to progress, according to S8UL. In the split stage, it lost to Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia but did enough to secure a berth. India will now face opponents including Japan, Chinese Taipei, and Vietnam at the main event.
Four players—Kat Bot, Infi, Deadcorporal, and Lotus—were also part of India’s League of Legends contingent at the Hangzhou Asian Games 2023, where S8UL said the team finished fifth.
Akshaj Shenoy aka Kat Bot, captain of India’s League of Legends team, said, “Qualifying for the Asian Games is a proud moment for all of us. We knew the regional qualifiers would be extremely competitive, and every match demanded complete focus. For many of us, this will be our second Asian Games, which makes this qualification even more special because we understand the level of competition that awaits us. We are grateful to S8UL for believing in this roster and providing us with the support, stability, and opportunities needed to keep improving as a team. Representing India is always an honour, and we’ll do everything we can to make the country proud in Aichi-Nagoya.”
S8UL co-founder and CEO Animesh Agarwal aka 8Bit Thug added, “Representing India at the Asian Games is among the highest honours an athlete can achieve, and seeing our League of Legends roster earn that opportunity is incredibly special. This team has demonstrated resilience, discipline, and a willingness to continually improve, qualities that are essential for success at the international level. At S8UL, our goal has always been to create pathways for Indian athletes to compete on the biggest stages in the world. We have no doubt they will give their all when they step onto the stage in Aichi-Nagoya and compete for the nation with pride,” S8UL also noted that Gurashish Singh (Soul) and Prateek Bhaunt (B Haunt) previously qualified for the Asian Games in Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 after winning at NESC 2026.

Geckos Games launched Momentum, a patent-pending real-time sports prediction game unlike anything in the market. THRILLZZ Free Social Sportsbook gone live as the exclusive launch partner on the opening day of the world’s biggest Soccer tournament.
Five Minutes. One Question. Pure Adrenaline.
Every five minutes of a live match, Momentum asks players one question: which team has the Momentum right now? Not who will win the game. Not what the final score will be. Who has the upper hand – this minute, on this pitch – based on every pass, attack, and pressure play happening in real time.
Makes it different from anything that has come before: the Momentum shift on a single event. A yellow card. A saved shot. A dangerous run. Every on-field event recalculates the balance – and players watch their position move with it in real time. It is not a black box. Players see each event land inside the game – the moment it happens on the pitch.
Then comes the timer. As the five-minute window counts down to zero, the tension becomes almost unbearable. Players who are in the win zone are watching every second, knowing a single event in the dying moments can flip everything. The last few seconds of every round are unlike anything else in sports gaming – raw, unscripted, impossible to put down.
Zero Latency. Official Data. Real Stakes.
Momentum is powered by an official match data with zero latency. Every event flows instantly into the game engine. There is no delay, no approximation. What players see is what is happening on the field right now.
This is not a simulation. It is not a simplified model. It is live sport, translated into a game in real time and that distinction is everything.
