Yesterday was the electrifying grand final of a record-breaking Six Invitational in São Paulo. Working with our colleagues and friends at Ubisoft on the biggest event in the BLAST Rainbow Six calendar, we achieved: - Over 9,000 tickets sold and fans in the arena per day - nearly 30,000 in total over the weekend - Record-breaking viewership of over half a million peak viewers, from all over the world - a 65% increase on the previous record of 300k - Economic impacts of over $12M for the city of São Paulo - 7 commercial partners including JBL, Lenovo, Intel, Eureka Ergonomics, Kingston Technology, CTRL, and Aura - An immeasurable atmosphere and experience! It's always impressive seeing how each BLAST event is unique, tailored to the market and community, and drives hugely impressive quantifiable (and some less quantifiable!) impacts. This event truly showed what esports is and can be, with one of the loudest and most passionate crowds I've ever seen at any live entertainment event.

Today marks a year since the start of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. As the Official Smart Environments Provider, our smart #airquality monitoring technologies monitored air quality before, during, and after the Games to support their #carbonneutral legacy. North air quality solutions monitored areas around key sites across the region after the Games. Based on their findings, the #airqualityindex for the area was low during the Games, indicating low pollution levels.

The booths are back on stage at The International 🔕 But why? Some perks of them are: ▶️ having airconditioning ▶️ non-reflective glass ▶️ and being sound dampening Last year Valve did not use them at TI. Which didn't have the most positive result. Sound is such an important element of most esports titles, you wouldn't (and shouldn't) be distracted by noise for the outside. Should soundbooths be the golden standard in big arena's? #esports #gaming #sound
