Pokémon EUIC Finals

The Excel Centre in London once more hosted a titanic clash between some of the world’s best esports competitors. Hot on the heels of 2022’s World Masters and the 2023 EUIC Finals. Flux has now been the broadcast production partner for 5 years of epic European action across all four exciting formats of Pokémon gaming, streaming every high impact moment to a global audience.

The event features competitions for four exciting formats: Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon Video Game Championship, Pokémon GO, and after the success of the first two years – Flux were asked to take on the production of Pokémon UNITE, making us the only broadcast and content supplier on-site.

To make it happen we built five specialised production galleries. Four of these were used the for UNITE, Video Game, Trading Card Game and GO competitions. In each of these galleries, we provided Vision Mixing, Graphics, Replays, SME and Observing Stations. Font of house saw a total of 30 cameras, 3 Jibs, an analysis lounge and 4 Caster booths were deployed to capture all of the action.

The fifth gallery acted as the brain of the production – housing a central hub for vision control, delay, distribution, broadcast audio, networking and comms. Giving a central area for control and QC from a single location.

Outside of all of the live action, Flux provided a roaming content and editing team, rapidly producing content for VT playback and social delivery.

All in all, Flux provided a team of 80 crew alongside all technical infrastructure – making sure it went off without a hitch.

The whole competition was a massive success with over 2 million combined views across various accounts and channels. 

We also want to give a huge shout out to our amazing crew who pulled long hours throughout – including three days pre event to rig and test – and never once let their standards drop. A team this good is rarer than a Rainbow Charizard.
