Leading-edge artificial intelligence algorithms are now powering production at nearly half of VSPO’s esports tournaments, dramatically reducing content creation time and enhancing fan engagement, said the company’s co-founder Danny Tang at the New Global Sport Conference 2024 (NGSC) in Riyadh this August.

At a panel discussion with other industry leaders including Ahmad Alabduljabbar, Craig Levine, Jean Mariotte, Penny Diao and Shay Segev, Tang said nearly half of the esports tournaments VSPO produces are now leveraging AI to assist key production tasks such as live highlights capturing and post-game replay editing, markedly boosting the efficiency and agility of the company’s tournament operations.

VSPO, Asia’s biggest esports company, organises and produces more than 80 tournaments and 7000 matches every year, captivating an online fan base of over 800 million.

“Over the past couple years, we have developed a lot of AI tools to allow us to better produce esports tournament content in a much more efficient manner. For example, our ‘AICam’ now allows us to turn hours of game footage into viral social media content in mere seconds,” said Tang, who is also VSPO’s CFO and head of global strategy office.

As the leading conference for the Esports World Cup Foundation, the NGSC 2024 hosted a global delegation of over 1200 industry thought-leaders at the Kingdom Centre on August 24-25.

At the event, Tang introduced VSPO’s two proprietary AI tools, “AIOB” and “AICam”, which have been instrumental in streamlining esports production process. AIOB, an algorithm trained on extensive tournament data, assists directors in identifying and broadcasting the most thrilling moments in real time. AICam, on the other hand, automates the selection and editing of highlights, turning them into viral video clips with unprecedented speed and precision.

Another VSPO’s key AI project Tang shared was VSPO’s partnership with Qualcomm on the Snapdragon “Faith of Victory” initiative, an esports athlete emotion detection system capable of providing real-time insights into an athlete’s state of emotions by studying their facial expressions and heart rates. The AI system has been trained with data from 175 professional players across 18 top teams in the King Pro League, and VSPO continues to refine it for improved performance on a frequent basis.

Furthermore, Tang said that VSPO is also in the process of integrating its proprietary AI technologies into its signature, award-winning “4K OB Truck,” a patented mobile production unit designed for on-the-go creation and broadcasting of top-tier esports events.

This innovative vehicle was a standout feature at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, where esports was recognised as a medal sport for the first time, as a significant portion of the esports series was produced using VSPO’s “4K OB Truck,” showcasing its capabilities on an international stage.

Oddin.gg has been officially registered as a supplier by the Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires (LOTBA). This authorization clears the way for Oddin.gg to provide its end-to-end esports betting ecosystem—including its Odds Feed, Risk Management, BetBuilder, Widgets, and more—to licensed operators in the City of Buenos Aires. The milestone reinforces Oddin.gg’s strategic focus on supporting partners across Latin America.

LOTBA, the regulatory authority for online gaming within the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is well known for its rigorous compliance and technical standards. While the body manages licensing and enforcement, suppliers must undergo a formal registration process before providing services to local operators. Oddin.gg’s successful registration confirms that it has met all relevant technical, financial, and compliance requirements.

Juana Bischoff, Senior Business Development Manager LATAM at Oddin.gg, said: “Being officially registered with LOTBA marks an important step in Oddin.gg’s long-term commitment to the Latin American market. Esports is gaining real traction across the region, and we want operators in Buenos Aires—and beyond—to have the tools and insight to deliver a top-tier esports betting experience. We’re not just bringing leading technology—we’re bringing the local expertise and regulatory awareness needed to help our partners like Betsson and Jugadon grow.”
