Garnier Fructis and the L’Oréal group announce their first esports team partnership with Team Vitality as the brands revive the V for Veuch campaign which will focus on providing exclusive fan experiences and exclusive digital content
Leading global esports organisation Team Vitality is pleased to share it has signed a partnership with global beauty leader Garnier Fructis and L’Oréal group. This collaboration spans across 2022 and 2023 and makes Garnier Fructis Team Vitality’s first ever haircare partner. After a previous successful collaboration on the V for Veuch campaign, which saw the debut of a playful sci-fi inspired video, the deal marks Garnier Fructis’ commitment to Team Vitality and its first esports team partnership.
The collaboration will see the continuation of the V for Veuch brand campaign which centres around the power of Garnier Fructis products. Last year the campaign saw the release of a creative mini-film with Team Vitality’s players and ambassadors such as LittleBigWhale and Victor “Fairy Peak!” Locquet on a mission to take down a mysterious monster with the help of Garnier Fructis.
With the new theme, ‘The Force Returns’, Team Vitality and Garnier-Fructis will work together on inspired brand activations. Fans will also have the opportunity to immerse themself in the campaign at selected events alongside Team Vitality’s players. There will also be chances to win experiences through Team Vitality’s social channels as they work together with Garnier-Fructis to offer exclusive opportunities for its fans.
Garnier Fructis will have visibility across all of Team Vitality’s rosters including the likes of League of Legends, CS:GO, and VALORANT with players championing the brand through content and digital assets.
“At Team Vitality we are always looking at ways to reach new audiences so it’s an honour to be recognised in the beauty and grooming space as Garnier Fructis’ first esports team partnership. It’s a true reflection on what we have built at Team Vitality that we are able to forge long-term partners in such an authentic and creative way,” commented Nicolas Maurer, CEO, of Team Vitality
“Garnier has always been a brand that is close to its consumers. Today, more than ever, we take pride in exploring new areas of expression to maintain the intimacy and authenticity that binds us to our target audience. As a result, it was only natural for us to take our first step into the world of esports last year and we are thrilled to be able to continue this beautiful partnership with Team Vitality! This is a great opportunity for our iconic Brand Garnier Fructis to strengthen its presence among Gen Z through the implementation of fun and offbeat activations!” said Stéphanie Borri – General Manager Garnier France.

Esports Returns to Singapore with BLAST’s Dota 2 Arena Event After Sellout Counter-Strike World Final 2024

BLAST Dota Slam Singapore to take place this November at Singapore Indoor Stadium in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia

The world’s best Dota teams will meet in Singapore from 4th – 9th November 2025 to compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000 at the first ever BLAST Slam arena event
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced the return of its world-class events to Singapore with the BLAST Dota Slam Singapore, set to take place in November 2025 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
This announcement follows the sellout success of the BLAST Premier World Final 2024, which marked BLAST’s Southeast Asia debut and saw more than ten-thousand fans pack out the Resorts World Convention Centre to witness the world’s top Counter-Strike teams compete for the $1 million prize pool.
Building on that momentum, Singapore will now host the BLAST Dota Slam arena event, teaming up with AEG Presents Asia again to bring together the world’s best Dota teams to battle it out for $1,000,000 in front of a live audience and millions of fans tuning in globally across 50+ territories and in 12 languages.
The BLAST Dota Slam Singapore is the latest milestone in BLAST’s global expansion into Dota 2, and reinforces Singapore’s growing reputation as a premier destination for sports and live entertainment. It marks the second consecutive year the city-state has hosted a BLAST arena tournament, following the successful Counter-Strike event in 2024.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “Singapore delivered one of the most passionate esports crowds we’ve ever seen during last year’s BLAST Premier World Final. We’re thrilled to be returning with our next major arena show – this time for Dota 2 – and to once again partner with the Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia to help to further grow Southeast Asia’s esports ecosystem. The response to our events in Singapore has been incredible, and this November’s Dota Slam promises to be another landmark moment for fans and for the region. Singapore has an impressive history and pedigree for the biggest international sporting events, supported by STB, and BLAST is proud to be building on this with the biggest esports events.”
Ms Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are delighted to welcome BLAST back to Singapore, this time with the Dota Slam. Building on the success of the BLAST Premier World Final, this event further reinforces Singapore’s reputation as a world-class destination for sports and live entertainment. We look forward to welcoming the passionate fans, players and partners once again to our vibrant city.”
BLAST’s return to Singapore is set to shine a global spotlight on the city while delivering significant economic benefits and meaningful destination marketing. With an estimated economic impact in the tens of millions, the tournament further demonstrates how esports events are evolving into major cultural and economic drivers for host cities – on par with large-scale traditional international sporting events.
With Singapore, Rio, London, Austin, and Lyon among the major destinations on BLAST’s global calendar this year, it is evident that governments, cities and tourism bodies are recognising the power of esports to attract young and engaged visitors, create jobs, and drive international visibility.
