Galaxy Racer crowned Champions in the BTS Pro Series S7 Championship: SEA Title with a Reverse Sweep Win Against Fnatic
A huge reverse sweep puts Galaxy Racer (GXR) on top of the podium as champions of the BTS Pro Series: SEA Season 7, defeating a regional powerhouse Fnatic in the best-of-five grand finals on Sunday, August 15th.
The reformed roster of Galaxy Racer stomped on Fnatic’s supposed sweep after getting reversed, with a score of 3-2, in their BTS Finals matchup.
It was Galaxy Racer’s first-ever major tournament win in Dota 2. They also had a clean run at this event since they did not drop a single series.
It was a rematch of the upper bracket finals matchup, where Galaxy Racer swept the series 2-0 to move onto grand finals and dropped Fnatic to the lower bracket. Fnatic played team SMG in the lower bracket finals, where they won 2-0 and secured their rematch against Galaxy Racer in the grand finals.
Fnatic was up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, yet Galaxy Racer managed to pull off an epic comeback to reverse-sweep the series and win the title of BTS Pro Series Champions.
Galaxy Racer also won against teams like the title-favorite T1 on their road to finals. T1 absorbed a stunning 2-0 sweep to Galaxy Racer in the tournament’s opening match held last August 2.
Galaxy Racer’s revamped roster is starting to make waves and show a great deal of promise for the next competitive season when they enter the path to next year’s The International tournament.
For their victory in the BTS Pro Series tournament, Galaxy Racer took a $20,000 first-place prize from the $50,000 grand prize pool.
The BTS Pro Series Season 7: Southeast Asia (SEA) was held online last July 27 to August 15. A total of eight (8) teams from different countries in South East Asia participated in the competition.

Midnite signs as Middlesbrough FC principal partner for 2026/27 season
Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.
The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.
Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.
