The promotion of solidarity initiatives powered by P.U.P.I. will go hand in hand with editorial content on the main sporting events.

Thanks to this synergy, Planetwin365.news will be Media Supporter of the P.U.P.I. Foundation, becoming an additional and powerful channel for the communication of the social responsibility initiatives developed by Zanetti and Paula de la Fuente through their non-profit organization, in order to promote the values of solidarity, inclusion and sociability that belong to both entities.

Planetwin365.news will therefore be enriched with new content powered by the P.U.P.I. team and the “Treble Captain” who will talk, in a dedicated column on the sports web portal, about the activities of the P.U.P.I. Foundation. The focus will be on the “Sport makes us equal” project, which will support discussions on topics concerning sport as a tool that fosters integration, social development and improvement of the quality of life; in the foreground, there will be also comments on the main sporting events.

The agreement with a world football legend and his non-profit association fills us with pride and will help us to further develop the ‘social & community’ aspect that distinguishes our younger brand – said Anniina Rantala, Senior Director, Commercial Online at SKS365 We will be able to offer new content and an increasingly social and interactive entertainment experience to the users of Planetwin365.news.

Foundation.

“I am very happy to start this journey together with the P.U.P.I Foundation. I am confident, it will allow us to emphasize the importance of sports in the daily work of our association,” added Javier Zanetti. ”I thank Planetwin365.news on behalf of Paula and myself for choosing the P.U.P.I.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
