Year 2 of Marvel Rivals Esports

We Are WEEKS Away From Ignite — Here's What NetEase Need to Bring Into Year 2

The hype is building. Ignite is almost here and this is genuinely one of the most exciting moments for Marvel Rivals esports. We're still early in this journey and Year 2 has a real chance to be something special — but only if both NetEase and the community show up

What we're hoping to see from NetEase:

• Bigger push on marketing and advertisement — Ignite should not be impossible to miss. NetEase needs to invest in promoting events across social media, content creator partnerships, and paid ads before tournaments happen — not just during. Casual Marvel Rivals players shouldn't be finding out an event existed after it's already over or during .
• Elevated broadcast production — Better observers, better transition to players, tighter presentation. The game deserves a stage that matches its potential.
• Stable support for teams and orgs — Reliable timelines, and real incentives for orgs to invest. We need a bridge to form between them.
• Broader regional representation — More regions, more storylines, more reasons for fans worldwide to care.

Year 2 of Ignite can be a turning point. The foundation is there — now it's about building on it.
