SOFTSWISS Partners with Eduardo Barrichello for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship

SOFTSWISS, a global technology provider for the iGaming industry, announces its partnership with rising motorsport talent Eduardo (Dudu) Barrichello for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Barrichello, part of the Racing Spirit of Leman team, will drive an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo.
This partnership continues SOFTSWISS’ ongoing collaboration with the Barrichello family, which began with the last-year appointment of F1 legend Rubens Barrichello as the company’s Non-Executive Director in Latin America. Now, SOFTSWISS supports the next generation of racing talent by sponsoring Eduardo for the challenging series of endurance events.
Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Whether on the track or in the world of technology, success is driven by speed, precision, and teamwork. That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Eduardo Barrichello in the WEC. Building on our cooperation with Rubens Barrichello, we’re now backing a promising new racer who embodies the same competitive spirit. We can’t wait to see Eduardo take on some of the world’s most iconic tracks, and we look forward to cheering him on as he pursues success in this prestigious championship.”
The SOFTSWISS brand will be showcased on Eduardo’s suit, cap, and the car itself.
Eduardo Barrichello adds: “Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship demands total concentration, strategic thinking, and a strong team around you. I’m really excited to represent SOFTSWISS, a company which shares the same mindset in the world of technology solutions. It’s an honour to continue the Barrichello legacy in motorsport while forging my own path with this incredible partner on board.”
The FIA World Endurance Championship is a globally recognised motorsport competition that tests the limits of both drivers and cars. The WEC’s calendar includes events on legendary circuits across the globe – none more prestigious than the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest active endurance race. Held annually since 1923, it’s a pinnacle of endurance racing, drawing top drivers and elite teams from around the world.
The WEC season kicks off on 28 February and features eight iconic events, including, among others, the Rolex 6 Hours of São Paulo and the 6 Hours of Fuji.

Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon Fights off the Competition to Reign as TEKKEN 8 at 2025 Esports World Cup Champion, Securing Back-to-Back EWC Titles

Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon has claimed the TEKKEN 8 at EWC 25 crown having beaten Yoon “LowHigh” Sun-woong in a 5-2 grand final finish. His victory secures DN Freecs their first win at EWC 25 as he takes home $250,000 of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon had a strong run at EWC 25, losing just one series against Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong in the first match of the second phase. From that point on, however, he went unbeaten on his way to the grand final, even taking down Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong for revenge on his way back from the lower bracket.
In the semifinals, Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon booked his place in the grand final with a 5-3 finish over Kim “CherryBerryMango” Jae-hyun, securing his second EWC TEKKEN 8 grand final in a row. Ulsan showcased his mastery of Dragunov throughout the grand final, setting the scene with a decisive victory in the first set, before taking the title in the seventh set with a 5-2 win.
His grand final opponent, Yoon “LowHigh” Sun-woong, took down Team Vitality’s Jeon “JeonDDing” Sang-hyun in a 5-2 finish to lock his place in the grand final. The former EVO champion displayed his Bryan skills throughout the final against Ulsan, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the overall winner.
“I never expected this. I cannot imagine I would win again. I mean, this year I had a rough start; there was a nerf to Dragunov, I had a lot of difficulties – I wanted to prove myself on this stage, and I have done it,” said Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon. “It’s been like a dream to be here. Thank you to those who support me from everywhere, my team, my friends, all my partners, and especially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for making this the biggest tournament in the world.”
“I’m still hungry. I just want to make myself a legend,” said Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon.
Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon secured 1000 Club Championship points for DN Freecs, who, as a result, jumped up to joint-eleventh place in the Club Championship standings, with 1200 points. Despite having three players in the top eight, DN Freecs will only receive one lot of points.
It was a disappointing showing from Team Falcons in TEKKEN 8, as all three representatives were eliminated before earning any points. With only a few games left to earn points, Team Falcons had high hopes for TEKKEN 8. Elsewhere, Twisted Minds, who secured victory earlier in the day in PUBG, failed to make it two for two on Saturday, also failing to score points in TEKKEN 8 as Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique was eliminated by overall winner, Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon.
