Qallo is a Belgium based Esports performance brand focusing on new, healthy gaming supplements. They put a large emphasis on healthiness and the science behind their products. The company recently announced their Esports Performance System by publishing an article on how they coached Sector One to peak performance. Sector One participated in a 10-days bootcamp in order to prepare themselves for the Belgian national championship League of Legends in October 2020. The bootcamp took place at the brand new Qallo Esports Performance Center. The team dominated the finals and secured the title. Today, Qallo announces an investment round of 1,3 million dollars to further grow their business.

Qallo has a bold ambition: enabling every Esports athlete to reach their full potential. They launched an Esports Performance System based on 6 building blocks: in-game training, sleep & recovery, physical exercise & mobility, nutrition, mental resilience & well-being, and team dynamics. Qallo leveraged insights and best practices from both the Esports- and regular sports-scene. Niels ‘Super1Fly’ Peetermans, one of the company’s co-founders, is an ultra-athlete himself. He recently did a 500km bike ride in less than 24 hours.

“There is very limited information available on Esports performance. In regular sports, there is a lot of accessible content regarding training schedules, diets, food supplementation, etc. In Esports, there is a big knowledge-gap between the top 1% and the rest of the athletes. We want to close that gap.”- Niels Peetermans, Qallo co-founder & Esports Performance Coach Additionally, Qallo launched healthy gaming supplements to improve focus (QFocus) and optimize sleep (QSleep). “Proper sleep and mental concentration are the key-foundations for in-game performance. That’s the reason why we started with QFocus and QSleep in our product line -up.” Qallo puts a large emphasis on healthiness and the science behind its products. All R&D is done by a specialized team supervised by a Belgian professor in Pharmacology and Immunology. Remarkably, Qallo supplements do not contain caffeine, unlike many of its competitors. “Research shows that a caffeine intake above 20mg increases jitters and anxiety. A lot of the products out there have caffeine concentrations of 100mg – 150mg. We believe that’s not the way to go if you’re serious about Esports performance.”, says Niels Peetermans

“The bootcamp helped us in getting the edge we needed to win the country finals, all of our players could use a change of pace and the Qallo guys did an amazing job accommodating us.”- Tibo ‘Nissa’ Nijs, League of Legends Analyst / Assistant Coach Physical and mental health are often overlooked. Yet, these topics are increasingly gaining awareness. Kevin ‘Professor Akali’ Payaam Maroufkhani (one of the world’s best Akali players in League of Legends), agrees. “As someone who may spend anywhere from 8 to 12 hours a day sitting at the computer, I’ve come to realize a very important fact. Staying healthy is essential for success. It’s key to have a clear train of thought, leading towards better decisions being made in video games. Without staying healthy, you’ll easily find yourself falling into a bad pattern. Don’t substitute your health.”, says Professor Akali.

The prestigious 2025 PUBG MOBILE World Cup (PMWC) is shifting into high-gear as the pivotal Survival Stage has concluded after two days of high-stakes plays and fierce competition which saw Horaa Esports take pole position. In total, eight elite teams have emerged victorious, earning a spot to compete in the 2025 PMWC Grand Finals, where they’ll be reunited with the eight teams that came out on top during the Group Stage last weekend. Only one team will take home the lion’s share of the $3 million prize pool, and the crown position as the 2025 PMWC Champion, as part of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.

Over the course of three action-packed days, the Survival Stage delivered intense battles in 12 adrenaline-fueled matches, as 16 teams fought for the final eight coveted slots in the Grand Finals. Early momentum was set by Fire Flux Esports on day one, consistently securing top finishes, while POWR Esports made a strong impact on day two with aggressive plays and smart rotations. Throughout the stage, teams such as Regnum Carya and eArena demonstrated their resilience and adaptability, skillfully navigating high-pressure situations to place in the Top 3 for four of their matches. The MEA region also proved itself a powerhouse, with both Team Falcons and POWR Esports advancing to the Grand Finals. Surprisingly, last year’s reigning champions, Alpha7 Esports, were eliminated in this Survival Stage, ending their run in the tournament after a series of hard-fought matches, guaranteeing a new team will take the throne.

Showcasing their strategic brilliance, Horaa Esports earned an impressive 108 points, marking them as the top dogs of the Survival Stage. Along with seven other finalists from this stage, they have secured their spot in the Grand Finals.

The 16 top-performing teams to compete in the Grand Finals from tomorrow include:

With the placements confirmed and schedule locked in, the 2025 PMWC Grand Finals weekend is set to be an exceptional display of top PUBG MOBILE Esports talent. As the second edition of the PUBG MOBILE World Cup (PMWC), and part of the Esports World Cup, these dedicated teams will be doubling down on their competitive edge, leaving everything on the battleground as they fight for the crown, and the lion’s share of the $3 million prize pool.

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.
