OBSBOT joins Esports World Cup 2025
THE ES TIMES — The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has announced a strategic partnership with OBSBOT, appointing it as the official broadcast camera and camera provider for EWC 2025. This two-year partnership will bring cutting-edge AI camera technology to one of the world's largest esports platforms. Raising the Bar for Esports Broadcasting with AI As a content creator and broadcaster, I know how important high-quality images are. OBSBOT's AI-powered cameras promise advanced performance that redefines the viewer experience of matches and how creators tell stories. The smart-tracking Tail 2 camera and Tiny 2 webcam will be used in player zones, broadcast areas, and live activations. This setup ensures seamless cinematic coverage while minimizing the need for manual adjustments. Linking Chinese Tech Innovation to Global Esports This partnership represents a strengthening of the ties between EWC and China's rapidly growing gaming market. By integrating Chinese innovation into a global competition, EWC aims to bring together audiences and tech cultures. According to EWCF, this move supports its broader strategy of uniting esports ecosystems and promoting content across borders. A Shared Vision for Storytelling and Celebration Mohammed Al Nimer, Senior Sales Manager at EWCF, expressed his enthusiasm, saying: 'Our partnership with OBSBOT is at the heart of our vision. Their advanced technology captures the emotions and intensity of esports competition. We are excited to raise the bar once again.' Frankly, I completely agree. Advanced technology not only improves the production quality of esports events, but it also significantly enhances the viewer experience, bringing audiences closer to the action in a more interactive and realistic way, especially at major tournaments like the Esports World Cup. OBSBOT's Game-Changing Hardware The Tail 2 camera offers 4K resolution and AI Tracking 2.0, delivering smooth, professional footage ideal for live events. It also integrates with professional tools like NDI. The Tiny 2 webcam combines clear video with intelligent tracking, ideal for live streaming that requires smart, responsive setups. Together, these devices help gamers and creators focus on the game, while OBSBOT handles the rest. Empowering the next generation of creators Liu Bo, CEO and founder of OBSBOT, explained the deeper mission: 'The Esports World Cup gives us the perfect platform to empower a new wave of creators. We're not just capturing moments, we're helping gamers share their journeys and inspire fans everywhere.' This message aligns with my vision and that of many others. Today's content creators are tomorrow's storytellers. EWC 2025: The biggest celebration of esports yet The Esports World Cup 2025 will return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 7 to August 24. With 25 tournaments across 24 games and prizes totaling over $70 million (SR262,500,000), the event promises unforgettable experiences.

2nd launch of Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket delayed to Aug. 15 at the earliest
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket will be groundbound for at least another couple of months. Jeff Bezos' aerospace company had been targeting late spring for the second launch of the 320-foot-tall (98 meters) New Glenn, which features a reusable first stage. But that's no longer the plan. "New Glenn's second mission will take place NET [no earlier than] August 15th," Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp said via X on Monday (June 9). "Following in the footsteps of our first booster, we've chosen the name 'Never Tell Me The Odds' for Tail 2," he added in the post. "One of our key mission objectives will be to land and recover the booster. This will take a little bit of luck and a lot of excellent execution. We're on track to produce eight GS2s this year, and the one we'll fly on this second mission was hot-fired in April. Gradatim Ferociter!" The first New Glenn booster was named "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance," a line from the 1994 Jim Carrey movie "Dumb and Dumber." The "chance" Blue Origin was referring to was the possibility that the booster would land safely on the company's drone ship shortly after its Jan. 16 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. That didn't happen, but the rest of that debut flight went well: New Glenn successfully carried its payload — a test version of Blue Origin's new Blue Ring spacecraft platform — to Earth orbit. The GS2s that Limp mentioned are New Glenn upper stages. And the number he cited is meaningful; the company has previously said that it planned to launch eight New Glenn missions this year — a target that is almost certainly out of reach at this point, as Ars Technica's Eric Berger noted. "Gradatim ferociter," by the way, is Blue Origin's motto. It's Latin for "Step by step, ferociously." Related stories: — Blue Origin: Everything you need to know about the private spaceflight company — New Glenn: Blue Origin's reusable rocket — NASA delays ESCAPADE Mars launch on Blue Origin's giant New Glenn rocket to 2025 to avoid potential cost overruns Limp's X post didn't give a reason for the delay to Aug. 15. And the company still hasn't announced what New Glenn — which can haul 50 tons (45 metric tons) of payload to low Earth orbit (LEO) — will carry on the test flight. In February, during a talk at the 27th Annual Commercial Space Conference in Washington, Limp said that Blue Origin was "still looking for opportunities." "If it came to it and we just had to fly a mass simulator, we'll fly a mass simulator," he said at the time.

'Never tell me the Odds,' Blue Origin set to launch New Glenn this summer, attempt landing
Blue Origin's multi-stage New Glenn rocket launched once in January, and the Space Coast has waited ever since for the second liftoff of the rocket which could become a main competitor to SpaceX. Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp posted to X (formerly Twitter) that the company's rocket, originally set to launch again in late spring, will now blast off no earlier than August. The company will once again attempt to land and recover the rocket's first stage, also called a booster. "New Glenn's second mission will take place NET August 15th. Following in the footsteps of our first booster, we've chosen the name 'Never Tell Me The Odds' for Tail 2," wrote Limp. "One of our key mission objectives will be to land and recover the booster. This will take a little bit of luck and a lot of excellent execution." Getting New Glenn operational will bring Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin into the orbital payload marketplace, which is currently dominated by Elon Musk's SpaceX. If Blue Origin can achieve reusability with the rocket's booster, that would bring launch costs down drastically. Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will land the booster on a sea faring vessel; Blue Origin's ship is named Jacklyn for Bezos' mother. To date, SpaceX is the only company which has successfully demonstrated reusability in a multiple stage rocket; its Falcon 9 boosters land on a regular basis. Blue Origin has successfully landed its single stage suborbital New Shepard rocket, which launches paying customers out of Texas, but was not so fortunate with the January attempt of the multiple-stage New Glenn out of Florida. When is the next Florida rocket launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral Back in January, the 321-foot-tall New Glenn rocket barreled off Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 36. While the upper stage successfully sent the payload to orbit, the company had high hopes of landing the booster on Jacklyn. Instead, Jacklyn sailed back to Port Canaveral empty. That lost booster? It was named "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance." After the failed landing, Limp acknowledged it was an ambitious goal for the first launch. In fact, it took competitor SpaceX years to successfully land a Falcon 9 booster. Once operational, New Glenn will be Blue Origin's workhorse rocket. Future payloads include the NASA EscaPADE mission to Mars. The rocket will also launch Amazon's Project Kuiper internet satellites, which are a competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The August launch announcement is timely. This coming Friday, June 13, will see the second launch of the Kuiper internet constellation atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
