The Esports World Cup 2025 brought together thousands of competitors, spectators and international audiences across multiple venues in Riyadh. Behind the spectacle was an operation involving numerous specialist suppliers, technical disciplines and simultaneous venue builds, all requiring careful coordination to deliver a seamless live experience.
Working alongside Vanguard, Evolution provided the technical oversight, production management and creative design expertise that ensured every discipline operated to a consistent standard. From electrical and AV assurance through to scenic oversight, production coordination and event-wide design, our teams helped transform multiple independent workstreams into one unified event.
The Challenge
Delivering an event of this scale required far more than managing individual suppliers. With AV contractors, scenic builders, caterers, activation teams and technical specialists working across multiple venues simultaneously, maintaining consistency, safety and quality became the project's greatest challenge.
Every installation required verification that the correct equipment had been specified, installed safely and delivered in accordance with broadcast standards. Electrical infrastructure, structural installations, rigging, LED systems, scenic construction and production logistics all needed to work together without compromise.
At the same time, the event's visual identity had to remain consistent across every venue, from the opening ceremony through to supporting environments and audience touchpoints.
The Solution
Working alongside Vanguard, Evolution provided the technical oversight, production management and creative support that unified delivery across the Esports World Cup 2025.
Our teams coordinated multiple suppliers across several venues, ensuring electrical, AV, scenic and structural installations were delivered safely, correctly and to a consistent standard. Production managers maintained alignment across parallel workstreams, while our in-house creative team developed the event's 2D graphics and 3D design for the opening ceremony and supporting venue environments.
By combining technical assurance with coordinated production and creative design, Evolution helped deliver a seamless, broadcast-ready event at international scale.
