The Esports World Cup Foundation (“EWCF”) and Riot Games today announced a three-year partnership that will see VALORANT, the award-winning 5v5 tactical shooter and one of the world’s most popular esports, make its highly anticipated debut at the Esports World Cup 2025, alongside the return of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics (TFT).

As the leading titles in their respective genres, all three games will showcase the best clubs, players and talent the esports world has to offer when they come on stage in Riyadh this summer. League of Legends fans can look forward to an international event featuring the best teams battling it out for prestige on a global stage and a life-changing prize pool; VALORANT will bring together some of its most compelling players for the largest major tournament outside the VCT structure; and TFT will provide opportunities for top, international talent to compete in an exciting team format.

The collaboration strengthens the EWC’s position as a global platform for the industry’s most influential games, uniting top esports titles under one competitive banner to expand their reach, engage new audiences, and shape the future of esports as mainstream entertainment. The addition of VALORANT further solidifies this mission, bringing one of the most impactful games to the esports ecosystem in recent years to the event. To date, 23 tournaments in 22 games – including first-person shooters, MOBAs, battle royales, real-time strategy and fighting games – have been announced for 2025, with more to come.

In addition, the agreement includes a global commercial partnership between EWCF and LOL Esports, the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT), and the TFT 2025 competitive circuit. Kicking off at VCT Masters Bangkok on February 20, 2025, the collaboration will feature EWC in-broadcast activations at LoL Esports, VCT, and TFT global LAN events.

“Riot Games has shaped the cultural impact of competitive gaming, transforming esports into a global entertainment force,” said Fabian Scheuermann, Chief Games Officer, Esports World Cup Foundation. “With League of Legends’ iconic World Championship – which continues to set new standards for immersive experiences, VALORANT’s cultural collaborations, and Teamfight Tactics’ community-driven events, Riot has pioneered an ecosystem far beyond competition. By bringing these titles to the Esports World Cup, we are not just celebrating elite gameplay – we are, together, expanding esports as a global entertainment movement, creating deeper connections with fans across gaming, music, and digital culture.”

League of Legends, one of the world’s most popular games with 100 million active monthly players, delivered a standout moment at the EWC 2024 Grand Final as esports legend Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok led T1 to victory in front of 12.5 million viewers online and thousands of fans in Riyadh. Meanwhile, in the Teamfight Tactics Grand Finals, T1 fell just short, as Wolves Esports, representing English Premier League club Wolves, claimed the title with a 3-1 win, led by MVP Li “LiShao” Chengyu.

Esports World Cup 2025 will once again unite gaming and esports communities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a global competition that will crown the next Esports World Cup Champion. The tournament’s unique cross-game format will reward clubs and players competing for a life-changing prize pool across a mix of platforms and genres, bringing together esports’ best teams, players and games under one banner in the largest-ever celebration of esports.

ULTIM8 SPORTSBOOK IFRAME: Ultimate Solution for Operators Who Have Seen It All

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

GR8 Tech launches ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame—an easy-to-launch solution designed specifically for the needs of experienced businesses: casino brands aiming to dominate sports betting without hiring an army of sportsbook specialists, or operators fed up with tech bottlenecks stunting their growth.

We dedicate a lot of time to talking to the market, and one thing kept coming up: too many products are built for entry-level needs. That’s fine… until it is not. Operators that grow beyond the basics often hit a wall. Their current platform needs improvement and differentiation that comes slowly, if at all; at the same time, switching to something new just means discovering another set of limitations down the line,” shares Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “There was clearly a gap—a well-formed demand for a solution tailored to mature operators who know what their players want and are done settling for tech that slows them down or boxes them in.

ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame was created to tackle these advanced challenges, enabling operators to differentiate with market-leading content and a customizable front-end while maintaining full control over crucial areas like player engagement and risk management. Feature-rich right out of the box, the solution drives the ultimate revenue boost with its AI-driven toolset.

“ULTIM8 is built for results. Operators using our iFrame solution see up to 50% GGR uplift through features that come ready to deploy—odds personalization, parlay tools, and dynamic cashout,” comments Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “Coupled with the geo-tailored layouts and widget-based frontend flexibility, these things give operators the ability to shape the ultimate experience for their audiences, while keeping full control over performance and profitability.

With all these advanced features, GR8 Tech’s ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame still maintains one of the key decisive factors of all iFrame solutions—quick launch time. As long as operators provide everything necessary for the launch from their end in time, the business can go live within just one week.

Sergey Ghazaryan adds: “GR8 Tech aims to become the first choice for operators looking for high-performance sportsbook-driven solutions. ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame is a very important step towards this goal—an ultimate showcase of our sportsbook expertise, packed in a convenient, easy-to-integrate form, tailored to the demands of the mature operators that have been unanswered up until now. Well—not anymore.
