ESL Gaming, the world’s leading esports company, has today announced that it will extend its exclusive collaboration with Maincast for a further four years. With the current agreement running until 2023, the addition of multiple years ensures fans in Russia and the rest of the CIS region can keep enjoying ESL Gaming’s full premium product portfolio in their local language until Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM) Katowice 2027.

As part of the extension, Maincast keeps the exclusive rights to broadcast ESL Gaming’s tournaments on its Twitch channels in Russian and other CIS languages. Moreover, the agreement covers the complete product portfolio consisting of ESL Pro Tour Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), ESL Pro Tour StarCraft® II, and ESL Mobile, as well as ESL Gaming’s competitions for Dota 2.

ESL Gaming and Maincast joined forces in 2020, and their partnership has already seen ESL Gaming’s audience in the CIS region grow vastly, and the total amount of views doubled since then. Hitting a peak of 382,000 concurrent viewers during IEM Katowice 2020, Maincast delivered some of the best numbers for CS:GO globally. Additionally, ESL One Los Angeles 2020 became the most-watched online tournament in Dota 2 on Maincast’s Twitch channels with over 13 million views. These are but a couple of the success stories that show how Maincast excels in Russian-language broadcasts.

Maincast is one of our biggest media partners and expertly localizes our competitions to fans all over the CIS region,” said Frank Uddo, Senior Vice President Global Media at ESL Gaming. “They are great to work with and we are particularly excited to see, through this seven-year partnership, how committed they are to significantly invest in esports long-term. It is a testament to how integral esports has become within the region and we look forward to building even more success in the future with them.

“In 2020 Maincast signed a multi-year partnership agreement with ESL Gaming to broadcast their tournaments in Eastern Europe. In this period we’ve created an industry-defining product, finished numerous projects in close collaboration and provided on-site coverage of dozens of events,” said Andrii Grygoriev, CEO and co-founder of Maincast. “We are excited to announce that our partnership with ESL Gaming is extended up till Q2 2027. We’ve already begun working on long-term projects and looking for new ways of refining and improving our product. We will do our best to give our viewers even more high-quality broadcasts and on-site content, which you’ll always be able to find on our channels.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.

Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.

The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.

Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.

The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.

Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.

“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”

SPRIBE, the studio behind the legendary crash game, Aviator, has shaken hands on yet another explosive brand ambassador deal, this time with social media content creator and UFC interviewer, Nina Drama.

Nina is widely regarded as the most popular UFC and MMA media influencer in the world, known for her bold tone of voice and no-holds-barred creative style.

She regularly creates UFC and MMA-focused content, interviewing superstar fighters such as Merab Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira (who are also Aviator ambassadors) in her unique style. This has seen her amass over 14 million followers across her social media platforms.

As an Aviator brand ambassador, Nina (real name, Nina-Marie Daniele) will create and run several campaigns to promote the game to her audience.

The partnership really is the perfect fit, with Nina’s fanbase mostly falling into the same Millennial and Gen Z cohorts that engage with Aviator, which sees more than 50 million people a month strap in and take flight to see if they can land the biggest win multiplier.

It also aligns with SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing partnership with the UFC, which sees the Aviator logo and branding appear inside the famous octagon at Fight Night and PPV events.

 

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nina Drama to our growing roster of brand ambassador partners, and to be able to directly engage with her large and loyal fan base through some truly unique creative campaigns.

Nina has captivated audiences with her sharp humor, confident charm, and unfiltered interview style — a perfect match for the high-energy world of Aviator.

“We are really excited about the campaigns we will be launching with Nina – they will hit different, for sure, but we expect them to have a strong impact and introduce even more people to the thrills and spills the Aviator provides.”

 

Nina Drama, social media influencer and Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is so much fun and I know my audience will love it too! UFC stars Merab Dvalishvili and Alex are also ambassadors and I know together we will make fun, relatable and viral content while also promoting Aviator!”
