Gamer.LK’s Play Expo 2025 with Munchee Savory as the Platinum Partner and Powered by Coca-Cola concluded recently, marking a defining moment for Sri Lankan Esports as LVG ESPORTS were crowned the Best Esports Clan of the event, following consistent and disciplined performances across multiple competitive titles.
Held over two action packed days, Play Expo 2025 brought together thousands of fans and players to witness high level competition across PC, mobile, console, simulator and virtual reality games. Beyond the scale of the event, Play Expo once again served as a proving ground where preparation, teamwork and long term commitment to competitive excellence were put to the test.
Designed to recognise consistency across multiple games, the Best Esports Clan award became the flagship award of the event. LVG ESPORTS secured the title through strong results across both team based and individual competitions, reflecting the depth of the organisation rather than success in a single title. Their performance highlighted the importance of structured training, coordinated teamwork and the ability to perform consistently under pressure across multiple game titles.
Commenting on the achievement, Lilandavaradan Arunkumar, Founder & CEO of LVG ESPORTS said, “This recognition means a great deal to everyone at LVG ESPORTS. What we achieved at Play Expo 2025 is the result of months of preparation, structured training and the commitment shown by every player and support member across multiple titles. Competing at this level across so many games is never easy and being recognised as the Best Esports Clan validates the effort our teams put in every day. We are proud of our players and grateful for platforms like Play Expo that continue to raise the standard of Esports in Sri Lanka.”
Play Expo 2025 featured tournaments across more than 25 Esports titles, with over 2,500 players competing across open competitions, women’s tournaments and junior categories. This inclusive approach allowed established organisations to compete alongside emerging talent from across the island, reinforcing Play Expo’s role in strengthening Sri Lanka’s Esports pipeline.

Reflecting on the event, Raveen Wijayatilake, CEO of Gamer.LK, said, “What we saw at Play Expo this year was a clear sign of how far Esports in Sri Lanka has come. The level of competition, the diversity of players and the passion across all categories show that this ecosystem is growing in the right direction. Play Expo continues to be a place where talent is tested, confidence is built and future national level athletes begin their journey.”
