Technology at the Heart of the Action
Throughout the tournament, OBSBOT deployed 100 units of its flagship Tail 2 AI-powered 4K streaming cameras across EWC venues. With AI Tracking 2.0, ultra-HD clarity, and professional-grade broadcast protocols such as NDI, OBSBOT ensured fans could enjoy seamless, multi-angle coverage — from clutch plays to the intensity on players’ faces.
From close-up shots of in-game focus to post-match celebrations and medal ceremonies, OBSBOT’s compact yet powerful cameras integrated seamlessly into the EWC’s multicam workflow. With a compact, plug-and-play design, they enabled producers to capture cinematic moments without bulky rigs or large crews, saving valuable time and resources. This flexibility also opened doors to fresh content formats, from backstage vlogs and team diaries to behind-the-scenes music and fan activations, expanding the storytelling potential of the EWC.
