Yesports, the first Metaverse Engagement Platform (MEP) for esports, announces the arrival of three leading esports stars, Andilex, NaToSaphiX, and Luken, to the platform. Partnering with the platform will empower the players to leverage sustainable revenue streams through the sale of non-fungible tokens (NFT), and engage with fans in innovative new ways, expanding their reach worldwide.

Yesports is the first and largest blockchain-enabled esports metaverse that enables over 500 million esports fans worldwide to connect with their favorite players and teams, providing access to exclusive content, community initiatives, merchandise, and more by acquiring or holding NFTs.

At just 19 years old, French gamer Alexandre “Andilex” Christophe is one of the youngest players to be represented by the esports talent agency, Prodigy. The esports star gained global recognition by exclusively playing the popular metaverse game, Fortnite. Backed by a strong following, Andilex will now be able to engage with fans more intimately with support from Yesports to amplify his brand and bring new users to blockchain technology.

With over 138,000 subscribers on Youtube and a further 104,000 followers on Twitch, 25-year-old esports gamer Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen earned his fame by playing for leading CS:GO teams. NaToSaphiX has also had an impressive top 8 finish with leading teams in ESL Pro League and ESL One events. This partnership will see NaToSaphiX bringing exclusive content to his fanbase via Yesports.

Having played for large Latin American CS:GO teams such as Sharks Esports and 9z, 24-year-old esports player Luca “Luken” Nadotti has a number of top 4 finishes under his belt in LATAM leagues as well as ESL and BLAST qualifiers. With over half a million followers across Twitch, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter, Luken will continue to grow his following and interact with his fanbase through Yesports.

Alexandre “Andilex” Christophe, Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen, and Luca “Luken” Nadotti are represented by the world-renowned Prodigy Agency—an esports talent agency that provides marketing, esports strategy, and career guidance to players who are making waves in the esports space. The agency has earned a reputation for ensuring that young players are provided with fair and beneficial business opportunities in the gaming world— an industry that is rife with predatory contracts and unfavorable terms.

Sebastian Quinn, founder and CEO of Yesports, said: “This is a significant milestone, not only for Yesports but also for players looking to make an impact in the esports industry. We’re thrilled to welcome such high-caliber esports players to the platform and pleased to give them an opportunity to earn additional income and leverage Yesports’ scale to grow their following further.”

NFTs represent several unique value propositions and opportunities for recurring revenue streams in Esports. Teams and individual players can launch their collections with built-in utility to incentivize participation and receive royalties for each resale.

GRID, an in-game data infrastructure platform trusted by the leading game publishers and sportsbooks, has unveiled GRID Insights — a new AI-driven product delivering real-time, predictive context to live esports broadcasts and betting experiences.

GRID Insights transforms raw gameplay data into dynamic, predictive insights in milliseconds — surfacing real-time narratives like player streaks, weapon stats and record chases, all tailored to the stream’s brand and audience.

“With GRID Insights, we’re building the storytelling engine of live esports, powered entirely by official data. We use official in-game data and real-time pipelines to generate predictions, contextual stats, and behavioral patterns that previously required an analyst team. Now it’s automated and scalable, enabling our partners to create more immersive, informative, and engaging experiences that today’s digital-native audiences expect,” said Moritz Maurer, CEO of GRID.

Thanks to GRID’s deep partnerships with top game publishers and tournament organisers, Insights is built on structured, official data, enhanced by large language models (LLMs) and available via plug-and-play SDKs or APIs. The product supports major esports titles including CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends and VALORANT, with full customisation across branding and output formats.

GRID Insights made its live debut during the Champion of Champions Tour Season 3 (CS2), with broader adoption already underway. Among early adopters is the European Pro League (EPL), now integrating GRID Insights into its tournament broadcasts.

“GRID Insights is a game-changer for how fans engage with the action. At EPL, we’re always looking for new ways to elevate the viewer experience—and with GRID Insights, the instant, story-driven context keeps fans both informed and immersed. Whether you’re a dedicated follower or a casual viewer, it makes every moment more exciting,” said Oleksii Krasnikov, CEO of EPL.
