Quince Imaging, a global leader in experiential, immersive display and systems integration for professional and collegiate athletics teams and esports leagues, today announced partnership with Esport Supply, a System Target company, and the official technology partner of the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE).

NACE is a nonprofit membership association organized by and on behalf of its member institutions and is the only governing body of varsity college esports in North America. NACE currently has over 200 varsity esports programs as members, accounting for nearly all (90%) varsity programs across North America.

Esport Supply will support NACE by providing project management and procurement services for member schools looking to grow or establish a collegiate esports program. Quince Imaging will work in tandem with Esport Supply to design and build collegiate competitive gaming facilities, technology infrastructure, and audiovisual concepts to enhance viewership and fan experience across campuses.

“Partnering with Esport Supply is an incredible opportunity. NACE and Esport Supply are about to make history in advancing the organization of collegiate esports athletics, and we’re thrilled to be standing alongside them,” said CJ Davis, Creative Director at Quince Imaging.

Quince Imaging has become known as a preferred provider of audiovisual, broadcast, display and design for professional esports broadcast studios and battle arenas, including exclusive partnership with one of the biggest esports leagues in North America. As viewership continues to grow, and the industry gains international traction, professional leagues are investing in fan experience to keep pace with the growing audience. In 2018, Quince Imaging helped launch the world’s most sophisticated esports broadcast studio design and in 2019, supported North America’s top esports league in setting the stage for the legendary, international holographic video debut at one of the industry’s biggest annual events. Quince continues to work with the world’s leading esports leagues on multiple projects, with much more innovation expected in 2020.

“We are extremely excited to partner with Quince Imaging to bring their world-class projection mapping, broadcasting, and in-arena experiences to collegiate and professional esport organizations. Quince is a natural fit for our portfolio of esport specific solutions, including interior design networking and gaming hardware. Their work with top tier esports leagues has set the industry standard for live event production and broadcasting. Together, we will design broadcast and live production experiences, making Esport Supply the true single-source provider for all esports league, team and university needs,” said Jake Zinn, Founder, Esport Supply.

Quince Imaging’s unsurpassed technical expertise in providing optimal fan experience for live and broadcast esport viewers is the result of rich history supporting fan experience in traditional athletics venues including stadiums, arenas and fields belonging to teams and leagues within the NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB and NCAA. Quince will leverage the same expertise gleaned from years of experience in tractional venues to enhance fan experience for esports as the industry continues to grow.

Brook Gaming, a leader in cross-platform gaming hardware solutions, announced the official launch of its highly anticipated Wingman FGC 2 Converter in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Available immediately on Amazon AE, the Wingman FGC 2 empowers UAE gamers to use over 150 of their favorite wired controllers – including elite fight sticks, racing wheels and gamepads – seamlessly across all PlayStation 5 games and PC (X-Input).

The UAE boasts a vibrant and rapidly growing gaming community, with a strong passion for console gaming, particularly fighting games (FGC) and racing titles. As the region emerges as a significant esports hub, players demand precision and performance. However, many gamers face the frustration of their high-investment PS4 fight sticks or preferred controllers being incompatible with the PS5.

The Wingman FGC 2 directly addresses this critical pain point. Its core unique selling proposition (USP) lies in its unparalleled, tournament-proven compatibility and performance:

Play All PS5 Games: Unlike many alternatives, the FGC 2 supports every PS5 title, not just fighting games.

Extensive Controller Support: It works flawlessly with over 150 official and third-party wired controllers, including popular brands like Hori, Madcatz, Logitech and Thrustmaster.

Ultra-Low Latency: Leveraging Brook’s renowned low-latency technology, it ensures near-instantaneous response times crucial for competitive play.

Plug-and-Play & Customisation: It offers simple operation plus advanced features like Turbo, Remap and Macro functions via software.

Tournament Ready (EVO Compliant): Designed with esports in mind, the FGC 2 is compliant with major tournament regulations, including EVO, making it a reliable choice for competitors.

This tournament-level performance was recently showcased when British player “EndingWalker” secured a stunning victory at Combo Breaker 2025 using a Brook Wingman FGC series converter, proving its reliability under the highest competitive pressure.

“We are incredibly excited to officially introduce the Wingman FGC 2 to the dynamic gaming market in the UAE. Seeing champions like EndingWalker trust our technology at major events like Combo Breaker fuels our commitment. The FGC 2 is our answer for UAE gamers – it’s the bridge that allows them to bring their legacy gear, skills and passion to any PS5 experience without compromise, especially for the thriving FGC and esports scene here,” said a spokesperson for Brook Gaming.

The certificate proves we are on the right path and motivates us to evolve further”, says the executive.

More than just a welcoming environment, Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil has built a space where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, clarity about where they can go, and real support to grow.

In 2024, the group accelerated its mission to strengthen leadership, with training, assessments linked to values and programs offering regular management training. More than 60 leaders participated in development paths and initiatives such as “Impulso EGB” — an educational incentive program that subsidizes technical courses and specializations for employees.

Trust is the foundation of Esportes Gaming Brasil’s culture. It manifests itself in small gestures, spontaneous feedback, the freedom to propose new ideas and the construction of real bonds between people. The company invests in inclusive communication, active listening and collective actions that strengthen the sense of belonging — such as themed parties, recognition rituals and direct chats with leadership.

The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) today announced that Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most celebrated athletes of all time, has been appointed as the Global Ambassador of the Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC), further solidifying EWC’s position as one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events.

Ronaldo’s appointment marks a defining milestone for the Esports World Cup and signals the continued rise of competitive gaming as a global sport. A five-time Ballon d’Or winner and a symbol of elite performance, Ronaldo brings a powerful presence and cultural resonance that transcends traditional sports, helping connect millions of fans to the next generation of esports athletes.

“Cristiano Ronaldo connects generations — from lifelong football fans to today’s emerging competitors,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation. “His pursuit of greatness mirrors the spirit of the Esports World Cup: the biggest stage for the best players. As Global Ambassador, he bridges traditional sport and competitive gaming, helping spotlight the next generation of athletes competing for global glory. We’re humbled to have the greatest of all time stand with us in this moment for esports.”

Ronaldo has already played a formative role in the evolution of the Esports World Cup. He participated in the global announcement of the creation of EWC in 2023 and attended last summer’s Closing Ceremony in Riyadh, where he celebrated Team Falcons’ historic Club Championship win. With unmatched reach and fan engagement across every major platform, Ronaldo has helped elevate EWC’s profile since its inception.

As Global Ambassador, Ronaldo will headline the tournament’s global campaign leading up to and throughout the seven-week competition and festival in Riyadh. He also stars as a playable character in FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves, one of the 25 tournament titles in this year’s Esports World Cup games lineup. With a social media following of over one billion, Ronaldo’s voice will help bring the tournament to new audiences, and introduce the next generation of fans to the elite players of competitive gaming.

Ronaldo’s participation will also highlight the Esports World Cup’s 2025 creative theme, “Rise Above,” a campaign celebrating unlocking human potential, pushing the boundaries and going beyond the norms in the pursuit of greatness — values exemplified by Ronaldo and mirrored by the athletes competing across 25 tournaments this summer.

“Sport is always evolving – and esports is one more frontier,” said Ronaldo. “The commitment, drive, talent, and intensity I have been able to see in esports athletes is no different from what I’ve experienced on the pitch. I’m proud to stand alongside these competitors and be part of a global event that’s inspiring a new generation.”

The Esports World Cup 2025 will once again unite gaming and esports communities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a global competition that will crown the next Esports World Cup Champion. The tournament’s unique cross-game format will reward Clubs and players competing for a life-changing prize pool across a mix of platforms and genres, bringing together esports’ best teams, players and games under one banner in the largest-ever celebration of esports.

The EWC 2025 will feature 2,000 elite players and 200 Clubs from more than 100 countries, competing in 25 tournaments across 24 games for a record-breaking $70+ million prize pool. Tickets are now available at esportsworldcup.com.
