The Lega Serie A assembly has approved Interregional Sports Group’s (ISG) virtual graphics solution for stadiums that are crowd free as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.

The decision follows a testing programme, in a bid to identify the best solution for providing virtual graphics in the empty seating areas in stadiums across Italy.

Following the process, ISG, along with their local production partners, Netco Sports Italy, were appointed providers for all Championship games until the end of the 2019/20 season.

‘Lega Serie A are a world leader and innovator in virtual media in live broadcast’ explains Simon Burgess, Joint CEO and co-founder of ISG. ‘We have been working with Lega for many years and are extremely proud to continue to invest in and support new virtual media solutions in these challenging times,’ he added.

Burgess believes the key to the project’s success lies in a combination of high-quality branding that is delivered sparingly so as not to compromise the viewing experience for the fans.

‘Our prime objectives are maximising ROI for brands and delivering optimum revenue impact for rights holders, while never compromising the enjoyment of the live event for the viewing audience,’ he explained.

ISG has deployed virtual centre pitch logos of club partners, pre kick-off, at half time and prior to the second half kick-off. Now empty stands at all Serie A matches will be filled with graphics and colours of the competing teams, but at selected times only.

‘This approach provides interesting graphic enhancement but is not overexposed nor does it impact on the enjoyment of the live action of the match it appears in,’ said Burgess.

‘We have been working more and more directly with Serie A clubs, using our expertise to find other ways in which we can help them increase their revenues and make best use of their stadium infrastructure to create new virtual media spaces and platforms, whilst balancing those key criteria,’ he added.

‘Our senior team has been deploying and commercialising virtual media for almost a decade, working with all types of technologies and solutions and ISG has grown rapidly over the last six years. We are now entering a new paradigm in live sports broadcasting that presents huge opportunities to all stakeholders. However, it is a very complex process with many moving parts, liable to risks as well as rewards. ISG partners with rights holders, broadcasters and brands to realise those collective ambitions to a world class standard,’ said Burgess.

ISG and Netco have a long-standing relationship, with Netco producing all Serie A broadcast graphics and supporting ISG on their International Presenting Sponsor package. This incorporates regional sponsorship packages, producing virtual goal mats and, working with Netco, customised match graphics to four intercontinental broadcast regions outside of Italy. ISG also produces virtual goal mats for Coca Cola, Lega’s title sponsor of the Coppa Italia Final and TIM, the domestic title Sponsor of the Serie A Championship.

Reading Time: 4 minutes

SuperGaming, one of India’s leading game development studios, today announced the successful completion of its $15 million (approx INR 131 Crore) Series B funding round.
The round attracted a powerful mix of top-tier strategic investors, including a16z Speedrun, Bandai Namco 021 Fund, GFR Fund, IVC Japan, Neowiz (Korea),  LOUD.GG (Brazil), Barings and Steadview Capital. The round also saw strong participation from Web3 ecosystem pioneers like Polygon Ventures, Sandeep Nailwal, Decentralised.co, 4th Revolution Capital, 32-Bit Ventures, King River Capital, Ryze Labs, Ed3n Ventures, Gabby Dizon, Santiago R Santos, Emfarsis, Cristian Manea and Visceral Capital. Returning backers, including lead investor SkyCatcher,  AET Japan, and BACE Capital reaffirm their long-term belief in SuperGaming’s vision and execution.
This $15 million Series B funding follows SuperGaming’s $5.5 million Series A round in October 2021 and includes both the latest funding commitments and prior investments from returning backers, reflecting their long-term belief in SuperGaming’s vision and execution.
Investor Confidence Drives Strategic Expansion
The Series B round’s oversubscription and strong participation from existing investors underscore market confidence in SuperGaming’s technology-first approach and vision across evolving gaming paradigms,  including Web3.
These investments reflect the growing confidence in SuperGaming’s vision and execution, particularly as India emerges as a vital hub for cost effective game development, creative IP, and gaming infrastructure. SuperGaming has gained international recognition for Indus Battle Royale – winner of Google Play’s “Best Made in India” award for 2024, alongside its other highly successful titles.
“Our investment in SuperGaming pairs Bandai Namco’s global IP expertise with the team’s deep understanding of India’s gaming ecosystem, opening the door to growth in India and beyond. We also view SuperPlatform, an infrastructure that accelerates the creation of large scale, community-driven multiplayer games, as an additional strength that enriches the experiences SuperGaming already brings to players.” said Natsuhiro Maruyama, Investor at Bandai Namco 021 Fund.
“In a market crowded with demos and pitch decks, SuperGaming has done what few others can, they have shipped. Launching a game, especially one as ambitious as Indus, is no small feat. It shows execution, resilience, and deep player understanding in a hyperlocal market like India. We’re backing SuperGaming not just for what they’re building, but because they’re already delivering and that’s what makes all the difference.” said Ed Fries, General Partner at 1UpFund, Co-Creator Microsoft Game Studios and Co-Founder Xbox.
Global Expansion and Market Leadership Through SuperPlatform
The new capital will channel Indus Battle Royale’s expansion into international markets, beginning with Latin America in partnership with LOUD.GG. Home for its highly engaged mobile gaming community and vibrant esports scene, LATAM marks the first step in SuperGaming’s broader international rollout strategy. The fund will also be used to scale the company’s game development capabilities and invest in top-tier talent, while continuing to create new original IPs and deepen its publisher partnerships.
“We led SuperGaming’s Series A round in 2021 and are now leaning into our original thesis with a recent financing round. Our thesis is straight forward, India is the fastest growing gaming market globally and from that will emerge the next global giants in gaming. Our first round was about scaling development capabilities and this round is now about scaling global and unique hyper local publishing approaches. I’m excited about the multiple product launches the team has planned for Latin America and Middle East this year.” said Sia
Kamalie, Founder & Fund Manager, Skycatcher.
The Series B funding will primarily fuel SuperPlatform’s global expansion, targeting game developers and publishers in emerging markets who lack resources to build comparable proprietary backend technology. With comprehensive features including AI assisted game development and monetization tools, advanced analytics, social systems, SuperPlatform addresses the lifecycle of modern live service games.
SuperPlatform, developed in partnership with Google Cloud, represents SuperGaming’s most strategic asset and the primary focus for the Series B capital deployment. The sophisticated, cloud-based SaaS solution is meticulously designed for building and managing global, hyperscale, real-time multiplayer games for lower end devices in emerging markets.
“I’ve always dreamed of seeing a world-class gaming studio emerge from India, and if anyone can make that a reality, I believe it’s SuperGaming. Their momentum speaks volumes about the team’s passion and drive. But what excites me is how they understand the stakes: in gaming, the experience is the product, and the global bar for quality is incredibly high. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see them take their Battle Royale game Indus to the world.” said Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder, Polygon Ventures.
SuperGaming also plans to accelerate the development of its proprietary technology platforms— Indus Engine and SuperPlatform, which power its games and tools for live operations, telemetry, and community engagement.
Roby John, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperGaming, said “We are at an inflection point where India’s role in gaming evolves from a consumer market to a driving force in innovation, and this investment fuels that transition. ‘Indus Battle Royale’ is just our beginning. It is a showcase of quality and scale that we can achieve. But our deeper mission is to empower the gaming ecosystem through SuperPlatform. We’re providing developers worldwide with the tech backbone to bring their most ambitious visions to life, including seamless integration of Web3.”
Array into Web3 & Player Experience:
SuperGaming has been at the forefront of gaming innovation, consistently evaluating new technologies to enhance player experiences. Our journey into Web3 began with early explorations and insights gained from titles like Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition (TC:ME), a free-to-earn game launched on Polygon, which enabled true digital asset ownership.
SuperGaming is now strategically leading India’s foray into Web3 gaming through its partnership with B3 GameChain, a gaming-optimized Layer-3 blockchain built on Base, the Ethereum Layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase.
This integration allows the company to serve both Web2 and Web3 players simultaneously across our portfolio, including our hit title Silly Royale, which is now live on our own Layer 3 Superchain powered by B3. This commitment offers asset continuity, interoperable progression, and deeper digital ownership, all while preserving the core play experience for our millions-strong user base.
