Las Vegas Legends Capture 2020 VPG eNPSL Championship

The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) is proud to announce that the Las Vegas Legends have won the 2020 VPG eNPSL Championship after a 5-1 aggregate win over the Central Florida Panthers SC on Tuesday.
“The Las Vegas Legends organization takes pride in every event that we participate in,” Las Vegas Legends owner Meir Cohen said. “When the 2020 NPSL season was canceled, we decided to participate in the eNPSL season with the same Legends mentality: passion, hard work, and unity. I want to thank Daniel Collazo and all of our players, especially our manager Jr. Baldivias that promised me before the season started that we would win it. This week was scheduled to be an NPSL championship game. The Las Vegas Legends set their goal to participate in it and in some way we did it. The Las Vegas Legends are 2020 champions.”
The Legends won Tuesday’s first match 3-0. The second match was a 2-1 win for the Legends, giving Las Vegas the 5-1 aggregate win.
“I’m proud to be part of this process and to win the first-ever eNPSL championship,” Baldivias said. “I want to thank the players who committed. We are happy that we were able to put our city and FIFA Pro Clubs on the map.”
The season started with 16 clubs and finished with one champion, the Las Vegas Legends. Central Florida Panthers SC advanced to the championship game after a strong run in the playoffs.
“It has been an exciting season,” Central Florida Panthers SC General Manager Nahuel “Nahztalgic” Zabala said. “Watching the world of football and the world of gaming become one especially at this time when the world is going through such a crisis has been a truly unique and unforgettable experience. From promoting the team, trying out players, and streaming our official games, you can definitely see the growth and potential that this league has to offer. A huge shoutout goes to the leadership on both the NPSL and VPG side. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and I’m grateful that the NPSL received the opportunity to make its mark in the esports scene. Forza Panthers!”
Tuesday’s loss brought the Panthers’ season to an end, but the club had already accomplished so much in 2020.
“This has been one of the most exciting and unique ventures for our brand and I am excited as to what the future brings in this medium,” Central Florida Panthers SC Co-Owner and Vice President Giovanni Taliaferro said. “Congratulations to Las Vegas for winning the inaugural eNPSL championship. It is well deserved. Saying that I also want to say thank you to my management and players that represented the Panthers crest with honor this season.”

Mirage Digital Announces Partnership with Team Liquid

Mirage Digital, the next-generation content studio shaping the future of digital entertainment, announced a groundbreaking partnership with global eSports organization Team Liquid. With over 35 million social media followers across platforms, 100+ championship titles with its over 120+ players and content creators worldwide, Team Liquid is the highest earning eSports team in the world to launch a 24/7 live-streaming programming experience surrounding the fan-favorite World of Warcraft: Race to World First event.
Mirage has created a new content monetization model for creators and enterprising entities, unlocking previously untapped non-traditional revenue streams. The company helps its clients with repurposing, redistributing, licensing, and selling content across numerous platforms and territories. Resulting in over a million dollars for its eclectic roster of over 300 creators, the company leverages its extensive creator network and expertise in original content development, to redefine digital content syndication. Mirage Digital is bridging the gap between creators and enterprise opportunities by sourcing high-quality content from creators and repurposing it for expanded deal flow and pipeline of distribution across OTT and FAST platforms.
Team Liquid, coming off a championship win in March, is set to make history with its most ambitious Race to World First campaign yet, with live coverage kicking off in July. For the first time, the tournament and its surrounding content will be broadcast beyond Twitch to OTT and FAST audiences, expanding access for new and longtime fans alike.
“This launch marks a huge moment not just for Team Liquid, but for the future of all eSports and creator content. We’re unlocking a format that merges always-on content with world-class competitive play, giving fans a reason to tune in every hour of every day. This is a monumental moment for both television networks and eSports to recognize the boundaries they are breaking in both parallels,” said Griffin Haddrill, Founder of Mirage Digital.
The multi-day broadcast includes full tournament coverage alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes content, player profiles, real-time strategy breakdowns, and each day’s highlights – providing an unprecedented level of access to Team Liquid’s journey and personalities within the event.
Team Liquid will bring its world-renowned Race to World First event to new audiences with a livestream on The Roku Channel in late August. Widely regarded as one of the most thrilling competitions in MMORPG gaming, Race to World First draws millions of global viewers eager to watch elite teams battle for supremacy in World of Warcraft. Known for pushing the boundaries of eSports entertainment, Team Liquid is once again innovating – this marks the first time the iconic event will be available via a dedicated OTT streaming platform, giving fans an even more immersive viewing experience.
“This collaboration is the result of our mission to re-imagine where and how gaming and creator content lives. All parties saw an opportunity to take one of the most anticipated eSports events of the year and expand its reach to new audiences through OTT and FAST distribution. This is about creating long-term value for teams, fans, and platforms alike—and Race to World First is just the beginning,” said Robin Bigge, Co-CEO of Mirage Digital.
“This is a historic evolution in how we bring eSports to the world. We’ve built a legacy on competitive excellence, and this partnership lets us showcase the heart, hustle, and humanity of our players in a way we’ve never done before—24/7, across every screen,” said Claire Hungate, President & COO of Team Liquid.
This moment also marks the first time Team Liquid has programmed content specifically for a FAST Channel, a move that speaks to the maturation and crossover appeal of eSports for general audiences.

Esportes da Sorte celebrates Brazilian culture with Parintins and São João Sponsorships

Esportes Gaming Brasil, the owner of Onabet and Esportes da Sorte, is making its debut at the 58th Parintins Folklore Festival with an interactive project that blends cultural promotion, economic development, and social responsibility.
The brand becomes the first regulated betting operator to offer institutional support to the event, which welcomes around 120,000 visitors and generates BRL 184 million in local economic activity, according to the Amazonas State Government.
This cultural commitment comes on the back of Esportes Gaming Brasil sponsoring 31 São João festivals during June in 27 cities across the Northeast and Southeast regions. This initiative strengthens the brand’s strategy of connecting with the public through the appreciation of Brazilian cultural expressions.
Esportes da Sorte’s focus was creating memorable experiences as each event featured scenography by Pernambucan artist Perron Ramos. Another notable element was the Vila Junina (June Village), a themed area blending traditional elements with interactive experiences. Classic games such as Pescaria da Sorte (Fishing of Fortune), Barraca do Beijo (Kissing Booth), and Argola da Sorte (Ring Toss) bring nostalgia to the festivities.
For the three-day Parintins Folklore Festival starting today, the brand will be energising Parintins with a series of experiences celebrating local culture. These include a panoramic lounge with a special view of the Bumbódromo, the Truck da Sorte — a space combining karaoke and free hydration — as well as a Social Arena installed in the Garantido and Caprichoso neighborhoods, featuring artistic performances, rest areas, free water distribution, and Instagram-worthy spots. Festivalgoers will also be able to get their hands on custom giveaways throughout the festival. All elements of the visual project are inspired by Amazonian art. The graphics feature illustrations by Curumiz, a Parintins-based duo formed by Alziney Pereira and Kemerson Freitas.
Sofia Aldin, CMO of Esportes Gaming Brasil, the group behind the brand commented: “Esportes Gaming Brasil cares passionately about regional values and strengthening Brazilian popular culture. It’s more than simply showcasing our brand, we want to create value for the people who live for events like the Parintins Folklore Festival and the São João festivals. Being part of these events backs our strategy of supporting traditions that drive local economies and celebrate regional identities.”
