EWC 2026 & OBSBOT Bring Esports Fans Closer to the Action
At EWC 2026, more than 500 OBSBOT Tail 2 and Tiny 3 cameras will be deployed across all four competition stages and the Fan Fest festival grounds, supporting broadcasts, creator productions, player interviews, trainer footage, and live event coverage, alongside interactive demonstrations and creator-focused activations at the festival.
Combining 4K imaging, AI-powered tracking, and full NDI/SDI broadcast compatibility, the technology will help bring fans closer to the personalities that shape the competition. The same Tail 2 cameras used throughout EWC are available to streamers, content creators, and esports Clubs worldwide, giving them access to the same professional-grade technology used on the esports’ biggest stage.
“Esports is built on stories,” said Mohammed Al Nimer, Chief Commercial Officer at the Esports Foundation. “The moments fans remember most are often the reactions after a victory, the preparation before a final, the conversations between teammates, and the personalities behind the players. OBSBOT helps us capture those moments and share them with fans around the world, creating a closer connection between communities throughout the event.”
“We are thrilled to return as an EWC partner for a second consecutive year,” said Liu Bo, CEO of OBSBOT. “Esports has become one of the world’s most dynamic stages for live entertainment, where speed, precision, and creativity come together to shape how global audiences experience competition. At OBSBOT, we believe the future of live storytelling will be driven by intelligent imaging technologies that give creators and production teams greater freedom to capture every defining moment. Guided by our mission of achieving ‘Imaging Freedom for All’, we are proud to continue supporting EWC with our AI-powered imaging solutions and to help bring the energy of esports to fans around the world.”
OBSBOT will also host an interactive festival booth featuring camera challenges and live demonstrations, while supporting a real-time content creation programme capturing event highlights and player features for distribution across EWC and OBSBOT channels. In addition, OBSBOT cameras will provide documentary-style coverage from player lounges and mixed zone interview spaces, capturing pre-match preparation and post-game debriefs, alongside dedicated content production for esports Clubs and creators throughout the event.
The partnership builds on a successful collaboration at EWC 2025, where OBSBOT technology was used across some of the event’s most memorable moments, including the Opening Ceremony, the Ronaldo versus Kaká EA SPORTS FC Showmatch, EWC Boxing Night, and community events.
