As per the deal, BenQ will provide the gamers with the new MOBIUZ EX2510 and EX2710 monitors. All official tournaments will be held at the Dacia Arena.
“In February 2020 we decided to enter the world of eSports, starting from three fundamental aspects linked together: the creation of a community of gamers, the development of young talents and the organization of gaming events at the Dacia Arena. Despite the difficulties of this moment, in recent months we have moved forward and the results prove it. The partnership with a company like BenQ is a source of pride for our team and now we are preparing with enthusiasm for the first edition of the eSerieATIM,” Stefano Campoccia, vice president of Udinese Calcio, said.
“BenQ’s partnership with Udinese eSports is a very prestigious milestone for our company. We have already been successfully active in this area for some time and being able to provide our new MOBIUZ monitors, equipped with the most innovative and advanced technology available on the market today, will make it possible to maximize the performance of the Udinese eSports team and those of the tournaments in the Dacia Arena,” Giacomo Rocchi, Sales and Marketing Director of BenQ Italy, said.
During the matches, players will have a dedicated MOBIUZ monitor, a PS4 controller and soundproof headphones at their disposal.

North Star Network Acquires Um Dois Esportes
North Star Network has acquired Um Dois Esportes, a sports coverage and analysis site created from the merger of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020.
Julien Josset, co-founder of North Star Network, said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.
“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.”
NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.
The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.
NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.
Rafael Mello, Director of GRPCOM, said: “We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions. We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.
“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”
