BETBY, the premium sportsbook supplier, has expanded its proprietary esports feed, BETBY Games, with the launch of two new e-sims inspired by some of the most popular titles in global gaming: FIFA’s Penalty Shootout and Mortal Kombat 11. With these additions, the BETBY Games portfolio now includes 16 titles, offering expanded betting opportunities for operators and players.

The latest releases further reinforce BETBY’s two core esports verticals — eSoccer and eFighting — and reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering diverse and engaging betting content. The football-themed title introduces fast-paced gameplay, with each match lasting less than 3 minutes, and includes three leagues based on the World Cup, Spanish La Liga, and Brazilian Série A. Featuring over 15 betting markets in a classic format of 5 shots for each team, this addition brings 30,000 matches per month to the BETBY Games feed, all designed to run with low margins and high engagement.

The second release draws from the iconic world of arcade-style fighting games, offering dynamic player-versus-player action in a Best-of-3 (BO3) format with each match also taking less than 3 minutes. Featuring more than 15 markets and three ongoing tournaments — Elements and Forces, Power and Royalty, and Technology and Chaos — this title equals the football counterpart delivering another 30,000 monthly matches to the platform.

Velocity Gaming stormed through the competition undefeated, Revenant Xspark showed grit and star power, and every match felt like a final. The level of gameplay? Unmatched . The hunger? Insatiable .

But now comes Split 2 — the real proving ground.

With Challenger Points more critical than ever and the road to VCT Ascension Pacific getting narrower, the margin for error has vanished. The top six are back, upgraded, and reloaded — joined soon by two fresh challengers from the promotion-relegation brawl. Every map is a fight. Every duel could tilt the tournament.

And at the heart of this battlefield are five players who are playing to dominate.

1.  Damara ‘Damaraa’ Danuardi — Velocity Gaming

505 kills | 123 first kills (League Leader) | 1.36 K/D | 🏆 Split 1 MVP

Velocity came in through open qualifiers. Damaraa? He came in swinging like a wrecking ball. The Indonesian entry fragger is an absolute menace on the server, leading the league in opening kills and racking up 505 frags since the open qualifiers. With ice in his veins and a crosshair that doesn’t miss, Damaraa is Velocity’s X-factor heading into Split 2.

2.  Azis ‘Azys’ Nandang — Revenant Xspark

329 kills | 71 first kills | 1.64 K/D | 183.6 ADR | 293.3 ACS Azys is the definition of a hard carry. From the Philippines to the OMEN VCSA, he’s become Revenant’s cornerstone, topping the leaderboard in ADR and ACS — and still managing a monstrous 1.64 K/D.

3. Ganesh ‘SkRossi’ Gangadhar — Velocity Gaming

454 kills | 77 first kills | 166.9 ADR | 111 assists

SkRossi is one of India’s most iconic VALORANT stars, and in Split 1, he proved why the legend still lives. With crisp mechanics, pixel-perfect AWP shots, and calm under pressure, he’s the glue holding Velocity’s chaos together. Now teamed up with Damaraa? Nightmare fuel.

4. Kiril ‘Moner’ Matsanov — Reckoning Esports

300 kills | 1.52 K/D | 259.8 ACS.

Moner may not have hogged the spotlight in Split 1, but his hyper-consistent performances and scary ACS make him one of the most reliable fraggers in the league. Quietly deadly, terrifyingly efficient — he’s Reckoning’s best-kept secret no more.

5. Venkatesh ‘Venka’ Sharma — Revenant Xspark

 296 kills | 58 first kills | 265.9 ACS | 171.7 ADR

After helping Orangutan to a Top 3 finish, Venka’s mid-season move to Revenant Xspark has instantly made them the most stacked roster in Split 2. High-impact duels, intelligent lurks, and insane damage numbers — Venka is the missing piece Revenant needed to challenge for the crown.

Global esports organisation GIANTX has come away from Madrid with a landmark victory, outstanding performances, and the affection of thousands of fans, after the Spanish capital turned into the European hub for esports over the weekend. The LEC Roadtrip, hosted by Movistar KOI — the organisation led by Ibai Llanos — proved to be a resounding success in terms of attendance and organisation. GIANTX, with roots in London and Málaga, played a starring role. Only a narrow defeat against the hosts prevented a perfect weekend. Now, the focus shifts back to Berlin, where GIANTX will fight for a place in the playoffs of the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC), the continent’s premier esports league.

For the first time, the LEC temporarily moved its competition from Berlin to Madrid. The Spanish capital once again demonstrated the strength and passion of its esports community, particularly in League of Legends. Around 10,000 spectators filled the Madrid Arena over two days, witnessing four thrilling matches — all decided on the final map — alongside fan activities and community events. The success of the Roadtrip has reignited calls for more international esports events to be hosted in Spain.

GIANTX approached the weekend with two objectives: to improve their standings by securing key victories and to reaffirm their status as one of Europe’s most historic esports organisations, with more than 15 years of tradition and success. The support for GIANTX was immense, with fans travelling from across the country to gather in Madrid. While the team fell just short of a perfect weekend, they earned the respect and affection of the entire arena.

On the competitive front, GIANTX made a strong start by defeating G2 Esports, the historic powerhouse of European League of Legends. It was GIANTX’s first-ever victory over G2, following a tense three-map series that also played out heavily on social media. In the first game, Lot and Jackies led the charge with standout performances on Jax and Yone. Although GIANTX faltered in the second map after a promising early game, they pulled off an unforgettable comeback in the decisive third map, overcoming a formidable performance from G2’s superstar Caps.

Later on Sunday, GIANTX faced KOI in another fiercely contested series. After a standout performance with Tristana in the second game, GIANTX forced a third map but could not maintain their momentum. KOI, who had defeated Fnatic the day before, emerged victorious and closed out the weekend as Roadtrip champions. Fnatic, meanwhile, secured a win over G2 to salvage their weekend.

GIANTX proved itself a top-level contender at the Madrid Arena, but earlier inconsistencies during the Spring Split now weigh heavily in the standings. To qualify for the LEC playoffs, GIANTX must defeat Team BDS next weekend and Team Heretics the following one. The team currently holds a 2-5 record — results that do not fully reflect the positive performances seen in Madrid.
