Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL) Announces Grand Finals for Season 7, Offering a Unique Multi-Game Esports Experience

written by Titus Walker

The Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL), under the leadership of CEO Titus, is thrilled to announce the culmination of Season 7 with the Grand Finals scheduled for November 19th at 4:00 PM.

UEL is the world’s largest multi-game esports league, setting a new standard in competitive gaming. With a primary focus on five distinct game genres, including sports, racing, shooters, fighting, and strategy, UEL delivers an unparalleled and comprehensive gaming experience.

In this exciting season, gamers from across the globe have engaged in fierce competition, vying for a prestigious grand prize of $100,000 in cash. The heart of UEL lies in its 7 on 7 format, placing immense importance on teamwork and strategic coaching. Every team within the league is strategically assembled to excel in all game genres, showcasing the versatile skills of its players.

One of the most notable aspects of UEL is its commitment to creating a new category of gamers known as “endgamers.” These individuals transcend the boundaries of casual gaming, becoming true masters of the art of gaming. An endgamer doesn’t merely conquer a game; they possess an in-depth understanding of its mechanics, representing the pinnacle of gaming expertise. The term “endgamer” was coined by UEL to exemplify this level of gaming excellence.

The UEL competition format is a groundbreaking innovation in the world of esports. Each match begins with a four-hour timer, accompanied by a roulette-style wheel featuring 33 diverse game titles. Coaches from each team must strategically select which player to send into the chosen game. Victory in a game rewards the team with one point, and the wheel spins again for the next game selection. Importantly, coaches must tactically manage player rotations, adhering to a rule similar to baseball where consecutive play is prohibited until all players have had their turn. The team with the most points at the end of the four-hour timer emerges as the victor. Furthermore, once a game is played, it is removed from the wheel, ensuring a dynamic and ever-evolving competition.

UEL has pioneered this innovative style of esports, revolutionizing the art of gaming. By amalgamating strategy, skill, and an immersive gaming experience, UEL has created a platform that venerates the mastery of multiple game genres and celebrates the boundless possibilities of gaming.

Titus, CEO of UEL, stated, “Our vision for UEL has always been to transform esports into an art form. We’re proud to witness the growth of endgamers and see players from all backgrounds and preferences compete in diverse games. UEL isn’t just a league; it’s a revolution in the world of gaming.”

The Grand Finals on November 19th at 4:00 PM mark the pinnacle of Season 7. This event promises to be a thrilling showcase of skill, strategy, and the future of esports. UEL invites all gaming enthusiasts and esports aficionados to join us for this unforgettable showdown.

About UEL:

New Web3 Powered Competitive Esports Platform Launch! 🎮 🏆 | Ultra Arena

written by Mark O'Leary

ULTRA AND CLD DISTRIBUTION LAUNCH NEXT-GENERATION ESPORTS PLATFORM ULTRA ARENA

– New gaming tournament hub enables players of all abilities to engage in competitive gaming and win rewards –

TALLINN, ESTONIA – 26 JULY, 2023 – Ultra, a complete PC video gaming ecosystem created by AAA games industry talent from companies like Ubisoft, Playstation and Nintendo, and CLD Distribution, owner of Smartoys stores and official distributors for the largest retailers in Europe, today proudly announce the launch of Ultra Arena, a next-generation esports and tournament platform for all gamers.

Created to expand access to competitive gaming for casual gamers and pros alike, Ultra Arena will go live globally on 8th August 2023 following a series of successful closed beta tournaments. Currently, gamers often need to join a multitude of third-party websites and Discord servers to compete in their favorite games. Ultra Arena addresses this by integrating directly within Ultra’s ecosystem of PC gaming apps, bringing together tournament organization, prizes and rewards in a single intuitive hub.

In addition to major benefits for gamers, Ultra Arena provides a multitude of opportunities for publishers, esports organizations, and gaming brands to connect with their audiences. Apart from supporting tournament sponsorships and custom branding for teams and competitions, brands and organizations have the ability to create and oversee their own exclusive tournaments and events. They can also assemble highly competitive lineups to represent them by directly engaging with emerging esports talents.

Ultra Arena will host tournaments for titles including League of Legends, Overwatch 2, CSGO, PUBG, as well as games that are already available to play on Ultra Games. Tournament organizers take control of the rules and brackets to cater to various skill levels, as well as reward systems. Prize pools can be made up of Ultra’s $UOS ecosystem token, digital games, and digital collectibles. Physical licensed products such as graphics cards and keyboards can also be offered, which players can choose to keep or trade with others on Ultra’s built-in Uniq Marketplace.

Ultra’s co-CEOs – Nicolas Gilot and David Hanson – have a long track record in gaming and esports, even creating their own CSGO org in the early 2000s. Announcing the launch of Ultra Arena, Nicolas Gilot said:

“Today, esports beyond the very top professional level quickly becomes a mishmash of tournament platforms, Discord servers, and LFG groups. It’s a major challenge for competitive gamers and excludes casual gamers who’d nevertheless like to compete against similar ability players on their favorite games. By offering a convenient and user-friendly hub within the wider Ultra ecosystem, we’re making it easier for players of all skill levels to access tournaments whilst providing unparalleled opportunities for esports and gaming brands to engage their fans and communities.”

Raphael Pluta, CEO of CLD Group, said:

“After 24 years of passionate work within the gaming industry, I’m so proud of this partnership that will enable gamers to grow, compete and have fun in a safe and exciting environment. Our ambition is to connect physical products with this futuristic esports platform to offer the very best phygital experience. I strongly believe that Ultra Arena is an opportunity for retailers and e-tailers around the world to create communities, build marketing activations and grow their fan bases in innovative and authentic ways. Now more than ever, the gaming industry will show its power!”

The launch of Ultra Arena follows the successful public launch of Ultra Games, Ultra’s next-generation PC games store, in April 2023. Tournaments can be held on Ultra Arena for any suitable gaming title, regardless of their availability on Ultra Games. Ultra Arena will be regularly updated with new features such as large-scale ongoing leagues for key esports titles. To download Ultra and start exploring the ecosystem, click here.

Mo-Sys VP Pro XR LED content server powers major eSports production

written by Awa N'diaye

Mo-Sys Engineering (www.mo-sys.com), a world leader in image robotics, virtual production and remote production solutions, has successfully supplied its dedicated LED content server solution, VP Pro XR, via regional partner Cgangs (www.cgangs.asia) for a major eSports championship production in Asia.

The project is believed to be the first ever complete LED (with ceiling) virtual production of its kind in Singapore and the wider Asia region. The LED volume was powered by Mo-Sys’ VP Pro XR, which in combination with Mo-Sys StarTracker camera tracking, delivered breath-taking Live AR. The entire system was integrated with real-time DMX controlled lighting and an LED ceiling to increase the production value and to assist the cinematographer by providing real-time ‘scene spill’ on the talent.

Established as a media technologies system integrator in 2016 amidst the rise in popularity of VR, Mo-Sys’ partner Cgangs found success and grew its offering to include training, real-time live 3D virtual production, technical support and project implementation.

Now recognized as a leader in virtual production, Cgangs was selected by American games developer Valve to handle the production of the opening sequence and top 4 team player introduction videos for the International Dota 2 Championships, a major eSports competition held in Singapore during October 2022, with a reported prize pool of $18.9 million.

Cgangs was introduced to the Dota 2 project in July 2022 and shortly after welcomed the Valve software team to their studios in Singapore. After shooting a sample video based on an animatic demo provided using green screen virtual production, Valve was able to decide on the same day to work with Cgangs.

Alvin Lim, Cgangs’ Strategic Partnership and Business Development Director explains: “The project made extensive use of Live AR, and it all needed to be shot in a single day without post-production. We only had about 1.5 hours per team to shoot and capture the opening and intro videos, which meant we were shooting real-time ICVFX and needed rock-solid camera tracking and a powerful LED content server solution that wouldn’t let us down.”

Cgangs utilized Mo-Sys’ award-winning StarTracker optical camera tracking and VP Pro XR, its cost-effective LED content server solution designed specifically for film and broadcast production. Mo-Sys also introduced Garden Studios who provided expert on-site technical support.

Alvin added: “We had limited time on-set so needed to work quickly. We were able to do this after ample pre-production planning and selecting products that would enable rapid ICVFX production. StarTracker and VP Pro XR were perfect for this project, both in terms of set-up, workflow and reliable performance. It was also a great pleasure to work with the DOP from Valve, who was using LED virtual production for the first time. He had a very clear vision and worked collaboratively with our technical team to achieve it, and this was essential to making the project a successful one, with very happy clients.”

Stephen Gallagher, Mo-Sys’ Marketing Director said: “It has been a great pleasure to support Cgangs, and it’s fantastic to see virtual production together with StarTracker and VP Pro XR utilized for such a high-profile eSports project. VP Pro XR is enabling more and more projects to achieve exceptionally high production value through its cost-effective and dedicated feature set for film and broadcast.”

Following the DOTA 2 project, Cgangs has announced plans to position itself as a technology enabler to support and train media students and industry professionals. The company plans to set up a permanent LED VP Studio to enable local production companies to have the opportunity to learn and apply VP for their own projects, as well as to become the leading VP technology production company in the Asia region.

written by Peter Schuyler

The Company Will Showcase Its Line of High-Frame-Rate eSports Extenders, the Draco DPS 4X1 KVM Desktop Switch, kvm-tec’s 4K-Over-IP Extenders, and the Draco tera FLEX Series for High Performance KVM Solutions

CRANBURY, N.J. —Oct 12, 2022 — IHSE USA today announced it will exhibit at NAB Show New York, booth 920, Oct. 19-20 at the Javits Center. As the leading solutions provider for high- performance KVM systems, the company will focus its product presentations on market segments ranging from high-frame-rate (HFR) eSports extenders to low-cost KVM desktop solutions that support up to four computers with single, dual, triple, quad, or even five displays for each computer connected to the switch. Also on deck for the show is the company’s new 4K-over-IP extenders offered through the kvm-tec product line.

“Along with the addition of kvm-tec’s video-over-IP products, it’s been an action-packed, product-rich year for the company. To continue that streak at NAB New York, IHSE USA is looking forward to connect with even more customers,” said Dan Holland, sales and product marketing at IHSE USA. “Attendees will see many of the award-winning KVM, video extension, and management solutions announced this year as well as the eSports HFR extenders with SSFRC technology simultaneously supporting 240Hz and 60Hz video transmission.”

As a leading provider of extenders for eSports gaming computers, IHSE has developed a line of HFR extenders supporting transports of up to 240Hz while simultaneously supporting 60Hz. Video production must provide low latency and HFRs for the gamers’ computers while producing audience previews in standard 1080p/60. IHSE solved the dual transport problem with the introduction of Synchronized Sequential Frame Rate Conversion (SSFRC) technology available in its draco ultra series of DisplayPort and HDMI extenders. SSFRC technology combines HFR computer actions and broadcast transmission workflows into one extender system. Not only does this simplify the onsite infrastructure but it also ensures that the same content is available everywhere at a pristine quality level that greatly enhances the overall impact of the event and enjoyment of viewers.
The Draco DPS 4X1 KVM desktop series switches can be customized to support single-head, dual-head, triple-head, or quad-head computer systems. Starting with a base DisplayPort four-input, single-head package, up to 4K60 can be supported. The DPS 4X1 base unit is a standard two-slot desktop chassis with support for USB-HID, USB 2.0, and optional audio connections for up to four computers to a single DisplayPort monitor. When more displays are added, users can expand the switch with the 4X1 video expansion card using IHSE USA’s standard six-slot chassis. All DPS 4X1 cards fit in any IHSE USA frame type and integrate with any IHSE USA KVM systems.

On display will be kvm-tec’s Scalable line supporting networked multiviewer capabilities. Unique features include the ability to control four computer sources up to 120km away simultaneously via one keyboard and mouse. By simply moving the mouse cursor to the edge of each quadrant, operators have full control of the source. The control software allows a full range of KVM extenders from kvm-tec to be added via a typical KVM-over-IP (KVMoIP) network design. Where more than four computers are on the KVMoIP network, the software allows users to select any one of the sources and assign it to a quadrant on the display.

Finally, IHSE will introduce the Draco tera FLEX series of secure KVM matrix systems at the show. From the company’s basic 16-port in 1RU to the larger 160-port in 4RU, FLEX provides huge time savings for system installers who normally must pre-configure network ports as inputs or outputs. No matter the connectivity requirements, the FLEX can accommodate any need. Systems are available with either copper or fiber connections. For systems needing a mixture of fiber and copper, FLEX-HYBRID frames are offered.
