By combining Amazon's global advertising infrastructure with EWCF's dynamic tournament ecosystem, the initiative will allow brands to engage directly with next-generation esports audiences through programmatic media, exclusive content, and integrated retail experiences. Mike McCabe, Chief Operating Officer, at the Esports World Cup Foundation, said: 'Esports is redefining how a new generation consumes entertainment – always on, always accessible, and deeply social. With Amazon, we are bringing esports into everyday digital lives for millions of people around the world — whether you're catching highlights on Prime, or a livestream on Twitch, or asking Alexa for updates – creating an immersive, multimedia experience that's shaping its place in global culture.' Rayan Karaky, Managing Director, EMEA & Southeast Asia at Amazon Ads, added: 'We are excited to continue our collaboration with EWCF to shape how Esports is experienced globally. Our collaboration will power immersive fan experiences across multiple touchpoints and create exceptional value for brands. Through our global services – Twitch, Prime Video, Alexa and Wondery – we will take world-class esports content from Saudi Arabia to the world. This initiative supports the Kingdom's position as a world-leading esports hub, and the Vision 2030 ambition to be a leader in digital entertainment and technology.'

Cannes Film Festival 2025: Nicole Kidman wakes up at 3 am for this hobby
Nicole Kidman recently shared a personal part of her creative process while speaking at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The 57-year-old actor was in France last week, for a conversation with Variety 's Angelique Jackson before receiving the prestigious Women in Motion award. During the chat, Kidman said she often wakes up in the middle of the night to write. "I do it at 3 am, writing sessions. I wake up and I'll write something, be it a dream or something circulating in my head and my life and my heart at that time," she was quoted as saying by The Hollywood Reporter. "I think 2 and 3 am is a very, very ripe time for things to happen because you're in that slightly removed state from reality, but your your dreams and your psyche are very, very there and very present," she said. Even though she writes regularly, Kidman said she does not have any plans to co-write a project right now. But she added, "I always say no and turn around and change my mind." Kidman chose an all-black outfit for the conversation, including low-rise jeans and a fitted leather jacket. Later, she changed into a custom red lace Balenciaga gown for the award ceremony. The Oscar-winning actor did not have a film showing at Cannes this year. She was last seen in the Prime Video movie Holland and recently returned to her role in Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu. Up next, she will be seen alongside Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic 2, which is set to release in theaters on September 18, 2026.
