Kinguin Launches Brand New Esports Series – Kinguin Legends
Kinguin has announced the launch of a brand new esports series – Kinguin Legends – aimed at reigniting the legendary stories of esports pros from across the world. Kicking off for the first time this summer with the Kinguin Legends CS:GO tournament, it will give the participating players another opportunity to compete against each other at the highest level.
The tournament will feature highly skilled rosters, which will be captained by some of the most well-known CS:GO players to have ever played the game. They will build their teams and match up against each other to crown themselves the very first Kinguin Legends champion. Details of the tournament, and the captains participating, will be released closer to the start of the tournament itself on Kinguin social media channels (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).
Kinguin has a long-standing history in CS:GO and esports, having founded their own CS:GO team – Team Kinguin – in 2015, who have won top-tier CS:GO titles such as DreamHack Open Montreal. Kinguin also runs and operates one of the only dedicated Esports Performance Centres in Europe, regularly accommodating top esports teams for bootcamps and training throughout the year. This deep-rooted passion for esports, and the wider gaming community, fueled Kinguin’s ambitions to create a fully loaded entertainment experience that will pull inspiration from esports, gaming, and music to deliver the ultimate viewing experience for fans.
Kinguin Legends CS:GO is to be the first of many tournaments planned under the Kinguin Legends brand, with further iterations planned for later in the year and beyond. The tournaments will look to relive the storylines brought to life by some of the most legendary players in esports history while also creating new moments and stories for fans just beginning their esports journey.
“Kinguin Legends was created from the notion that we all remember the iconic moments in esports and the emotions associated with them. We wanted to provide a space for the community to relive those moments, with some of their favourite esports personalities, and create new and equally thrilling moments to live alongside them. We hope that fans enjoy the competition and continue to tune in for many years to come,” Viktor Romaniuk Wanli, Founder and Creative Director at Kinguin, said.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced plans to host two popular esports events in Singapore in 2024 and 2025.

to attract global esports talent, foster local growth, and elevate Singapore’s status as a destination for world-class esports entertainment.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring two of the biggest esports titles to this vibrant destination. Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore’s position as a world-class esports destination. We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
The World Final 2024 will take place from 30th October – 3rd November and will be the first BLAST event to take place in Singapore, followed by the BLAST Dota Slam in 2025.
