GGTech Entertainment Acquires NUEL
NUEL, the UK and Ireland organiser of Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports, has been acquired by GGTech Entertainment, a leading esports company. The strategic acquisition will see NUEL become the office for GGTech’s operations in the UK & Ireland, increasing its core activities in university esports as well as planning and delivering an array of grassroots esports and gaming activities.
NUEL will continue operating under its name but with an increased focus on player-facing brands associated with each project – for example UNIVERSITY Esports. The senior leadership at NUEL will also remain with the company, with founder Josh Williams leading GGTech’s global UNIVERSITY Esports programme. David Jackson will continue as Managing Director of NUEL and Peter Cole will continue as Head of Product.
A board of directors has been created which will oversee NUEL’s operations – this board will include GGTech senior management as well as Josh Williams and David Jackson.
NUEL now has direct access to the resources and expertise of GGTech, which has experience of delivering top-tier events on a global scale. As a result, the company can deliver more and better experiences for players in the region, as well as offer more opportunities for early career professionals trying to make their way in the industry. With a solid track record of delivering grassroots esports activities, the acquisition provides NUEL with the potential to not only grow in the UK & Ireland, but also make a valuable contribution to GGTech’s global activities.
NUEL and GGTech have collaborated extensively in recent years, including work on Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports in the UK and Ireland, and the Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports Masters, the marquee international university esports competition in Europe. Together, the two companies are closely aligned and share similar visions to support grassroot esports and build gaming communities.
Staff and students involved with NUEL have already had opportunities to work on GGTech’s international projects – including travelling out to GGTech’s facilities in Alicante to work on some of GGTech’s flagship events such as the TFT Dragonlands Championship – and this move will further expand these opportunities and facilitate progression for staff and players.
José Parilla, CEO and founder of GGTech, said: “As a company, we’re continuously looking for ways to develop and expand our services around the world. Partnering with NUEL enables us to not only enhance experiences for players and staff, but also share our commitment and excitement for the esports industry across the UK.”
“Since we began in 2010, our mission has been to widen access to esports and create memorable experiences for players, as well as providing meaningful opportunities for people to further their careers. We have been working with GGTech for years now, they share our commitment to these goals, and I’m excited for us to embark on this new stage in our journey as part of GGTech,” said NUEL founder Josh Williams.
GGTech Entertainment, based in Spain, is one of the biggest esports organisers and expanding rapidly across both EMEA and the Americas. In addition to launching and managing the global UNIVERSITY Esports project, GGTech produces Teamfight Tactics Rising Legends and Teamfight Tactics Championships, the EMEA and Global competitions of Riot Games’ strategy game. GGTech is also responsible for the GAMERGY series of major gaming conventions, with recent events held in Madrid, Buenos Aires and Mexico City. It also develops Circuito Tormenta, Riot Games’ main amateur competition in Spain.
First established as a student-run organisation in 2010, NUEL is the UK and Ireland organiser of Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports, a pan-European university esports competition managed globally by GGTech. Beyond university esports, NUEL recently developed and ran Rising Stars – the first official pan-European women’s League of Legends tournament – and the qualifiers for the “Rest-of-EMEA” region in the Teamfight Tactics Rising Legends ecosystem. In May 2023, it ran the England/Wales/Ireland Minor event in the Northern Europe VALORANT BEACON circuit.
Last year, NUEL and GGTech announced a partnership with Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies – part of Nottingham Trent University – which saw NUEL relocate its head office to Nottingham, and hold live finals for its Winter 2022 and Spring 2023 seasons at the newly opened Confetti X esports complex.

Bede, the data-driven iGaming technology provider known for its market leading software and full-service platform solutions, has announced the launch of a proprietary Tournament feature that has the potential to completely revolutionise partners’ gamification options.
Created to provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for customers looking to engage their players via tournament and leaderboard promotions, the new feature makes it easy for operators to create their own custom contests without any of the limitations of normal provider-led offerings.
Whereas traditional tournament packages are typically tied to one provider – meaning operators can only incorporate games from a pre-defined line-up – Bede’s Tournaments offer a completely agnostic solution, allowing partners to have greater freedom and offer much more choice to their players.
The feature also alleviates the need for admins to learn provider-specific systems in order to set up their tournaments as they can simply create them in the centralised Bede back office, enabling them to take a more consistent approach and reduce the front-end work required to get them up and running.
Of course, all tournaments built via the Bede back-office can also be combined with any of the other services that are included in the company’s platform tool kit, meaning operators can easily create and automate prizes or view tournament history and performance data in the Player Account Manager (PAM).
From an end-user perspective, Bede Tournaments use APIs that make it simple for players to understand and check their current leaderboard position, creating an intuitive and highly immersive front-end experience that helps keep them engaged for the duration of every contest.
With these core product features working in tandem to drive user activity and increase customer satisfaction, Bede’s new Tournaments will change the way operators think about their gamification options and provide partners with a more dynamic way to incentivise players.
Colin Cole-Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at Bede Gaming, said: “With gamification features becoming an increasingly important part of operators’ engagement tool kits, our latest innovation makes it easy to create exciting tournaments that boost activity and truly appeal to players.
“Designed to address the drawbacks of traditional provider-led tournament offerings such as limited game choice and complicated technical set-up, our Tournaments will give operations teams the freedom and flexibility to create their own custom contests without the hassle of having to learn a new system each time. This way, they can pick the games and prizes they like, while also utilising our full suite of platform services to create an altogether more enjoyable experience.”
