The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has announced a strategic partnership with OBSBOT, appointing it as the official broadcast camera and camera provider for EWC 2025. This two-year partnership will bring cutting-edge AI camera technology to one of the world's largest esports platforms. Raising the Bar for Esports Broadcasting with AI As a content creator and broadcaster, I know how important high-quality images are. OBSBOT's AI-powered cameras promise advanced performance that redefines the viewer experience of matches and how creators tell stories. The smart-tracking Tail 2 camera and Tiny 2 webcam will be used in player zones, broadcast areas, and live activations. This setup ensures seamless cinematic coverage while minimizing the need for manual adjustments. Linking Chinese Tech Innovation to Global Esports This partnership represents a strengthening of the ties between EWC and China's rapidly growing gaming market. By integrating Chinese innovation into a global competition, EWC aims to bring together audiences and tech cultures. According to EWCF, this move supports its broader strategy of uniting esports ecosystems and promoting content across borders. A Shared Vision for Storytelling and Celebration Mohammed Al Nimer, Senior Sales Manager at EWCF, expressed his enthusiasm, saying: "Our partnership with OBSBOT is at the heart of our vision. Their advanced technology captures the emotions and intensity of esports competition. We are excited to raise the bar once again." Frankly, I completely agree. Advanced technology not only improves the production quality of esports events, but it also significantly enhances the viewer experience, bringing audiences closer to the action in a more interactive and realistic way, especially at major tournaments like the Esports World Cup. OBSBOT's Game-Changing Hardware The Tail 2 camera offers 4K resolution and AI Tracking 2.0, delivering smooth, professional footage ideal for live events. It also integrates with professional tools like NDI. The Tiny 2 webcam combines clear video with intelligent tracking, ideal for live streaming that requires smart, responsive setups. Together, these devices help gamers and creators focus on the game, while OBSBOT handles the rest. Empowering the next generation of creators Liu Bo, CEO and founder of OBSBOT, explained the deeper mission: "The Esports World Cup gives us the perfect platform to empower a new wave of creators. We're not just capturing moments, we're helping gamers share their journeys and inspire fans everywhere." This message aligns with my vision and that of many others. Today's content creators are tomorrow's storytellers. EWC 2025: The biggest celebration of esports yet The Esports World Cup 2025 will return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 7 to August 24.
