Betegy and ESTV team to deliver next-gen visuals and fan engagement for Esports programming
Esports entertainment leader joins forces with leading provider of customised sports-data visualisation to bring fans into the action
Two leaders in the burgeoning field of on-screen Esports entertainment content are joining forces to engage fans in unprecedented fashion.
ESTV, the leader in Esports entertainment, has partnered with Betegy, the premier independent provider of personalised sports data and gaming visualization, to drive enhanced value for fans and sponsors across the esports, wagering and overall entertainment markets.
The announcement was made following the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) convention in Las Vegas.
Los Angeles-based ESTV distributes popular esports content on a linear programming schedule, with plans to launch VOD content on a new ESTV+ platform in 2022.
Betegy, with offices in Warsaw, Poland, and New York City, will execute all digital marketing and branded social-content distribution for each live event and original series across ESTV’s platforms. The companies also will work to identify, secure and activate major brand sponsors that align with ESTV’s content and its audience.
“As ESTV distributes the world’s best esports content on a linear programming schedule, Betegy will be a foundational pillar executing digital marketing and branded social content distribution from within their innovative platform,” said Eric S. Yoon, ESTV Founder & CEO.
“Partnering with Betegy’s proprietary software to reach beyond ESTV’s unique yet key audiences in every niche of the digital ecosystem, ESTV will be able to facilitate marketing on behalf of their content creators while fulfilling unprecedented reach and engagement for said brand partner.”
“We are building the bridge between raw data and the viewer, instantly bringing that data to life in order to truly engage the fan and to bring them more deeply into the action,” said Alex Kornilov, CEO of Betegy.
“ESTV is an innovator and first-mover in the rapidly growing category of esports entertainment programming. We are fortunate to work with a broad range of sports and gaming organizations and contests and an ESTV alliance enables us to demonstrate the powerful impact visualized data can bring to esports programming across screens.”
The alliance follows important commercial agreements signed by Betegy, most recently including PokerGO, Germany’s Tipico, as well as Parimatch, Bwin and Coingaming.io, as it continues to bring its EGR award-winning solution to tier-one gaming and sports betting companies worldwide.
Recently ESTV was added to WatchFree+, VIZIO’s free streaming service on SmartCast

The Global Esports Federation at its 16th Board Meeting approved the draft program for the Los Angeles 2026 Global Esports Games, to be held in December 2026. This follows the earlier announcement of Los Angeles as host city at a major ceremony hosted by Los Angeles Times Media Group Executive Chairman & CEO Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and El Segundo Mayor Chris Pimentel—now marking a significant milestone on the road to GEF’s flagship event in the United States.
The GEF Board also unanimously elected Paul J. Foster as President of the Global Esports Federation. Paul, who is GEF Chief Executive Officer, was appointed President ad interim following the resignation of founding President Chris Chan in July, and now assumes the role of President & CEO through December 2027.
In addition, the GEF Board approved the establishment of frameworks to develop the esports ecosystem in the United States, anchored in Los Angeles. This initiative will strengthen the GEF’s connections with stakeholders worldwide and reinforce its mission to elevate esports for all.
The outcomes of GEF 16th Board Meeting reaffirm the GEF’s role as a convening platform, uniting athletes, publishers, Member Federations, and partners to power the future of esports globally.

Skyesports, the premier global IP and community builder, has successfully wrapped up the first-ever edition of Gaming Thiruvizha at the Chennai Trade Centre on August 30–31, bringing together more than 17,000 fans across two unforgettable days of gaming, anime, stand-up comedy, cosplay, music, and culture.
Gaming Thiruvizha turned out to be more than an event as it became a two-day carnival. From esports showdowns at LAN zones to cosplay walks, live stand-up, and Tamil cultural showcases, the Chennai crowd transformed the Trade Centre into a festival that truly belonged to them. Fans didn’t just attend; they stayed, celebrated, and created memories together.
The audience mix was as vibrant as the festival itself: college students, families, and kids all came together, proving that gaming and anime are no longer niche hobbies, but shared cultural movements.
Powered by AMD, with ticketing exclusively on KYN, Gaming Thiruvizha was hosted in association with the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) and supported by AGS Cinemas as the Chennai Edition Theatre Partner.
Commenting on the conclusion of the Gaming Thiruvizha, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better first edition of the Gaming Mahotsav. The energy of the crowd and the diversity of the audience reminded us why we built this IP — to bridge the gap between casual gamers and esports, and to create a space where gaming, anime, and culture thrive together. Next up, we will be bringing the concept to Bangalore in late September,” said Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports.
The festival also welcomed dignitaries including Meghantha Reddy (Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu), Darez A. (MD, Guidance Tamil Nadu), and Gayathri Thyagarajan (Founder & CEO, Kynhood Technologies), underlining the growing recognition of gaming and esports as part of Tamil Nadu’s cultural and creative economy.
Highlights of the event include:
- LAN tournaments across BGMI, Valorant, and other titles, with fans cheering players on in true stadium style.
- A pan-India Cosplay competition bringing cosplayers from across the country with stunning costumes judged by top creators and anime experts.
- Red Bull Armageddon, India’s first all-Armageddon format chess tournament, brought together over 350 players in Chennai with International Master Tania Sachdev and Grandmaster M. Shyam Sundar leading the action.
- Merch alleys buzzing with anime and gaming collectibles alongside local Tamil art.
- Stand-out experiential booths and meet-and-greets with Team Tamilas, Autobotz Esports, and Welt Esports.
- PVR Cinemas set up local food experience stalls for attendees
With India on track to reach 700 million gamers by 2027, and anime/cosplay engagement skyrocketing across social media, Gaming Thiruvizha demonstrated that hyperlocal, immersive festivals are the way forward.
Gaming Thiruvizha is the first chapter of Skyesports’ Gaming Mahotsav, a six-city touring pop culture festival with regional editions in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kochi, and Pune. Each stop blends gaming, anime, music, comics, and local culture into one cohesive community celebration.
