Pimp to Commentate UEFA Europa Conference League 2025 Final

Renowned esports commentator Jacob “ Pimp ” Winneche is trying his hand at a new role—he will be the voice of the Conference League final between Chelsea and Real Betis. The match will take place on Wednesday and will be available on the Disney+ platform.

This is an unusual and intriguing transition—from the world of CS to professional sports, where the atmosphere and expectations are entirely different. It's especially noteworthy that Pimp is not just invited on screen but will actually be commentating on the game—a role in which he gained fame on the esports scene.

First Match—Straight to the Final
Pimp announced on his social media that he will be commentating on the Conference League final between English club Chelsea and Spanish club Real Betis. The match will take place on Wednesday evening and will be broadcast on Disney+.

“I’m damn excited to use my 10 years of CS broadcasting experience to have a fun evening with football,” he wrote on Twitter. This will be his debut as a football commentator, and he’s starting not just anywhere but with one of the most important matches of the season for both clubs.

Although transitions from esports to traditional sports are rare, this is not the first such instance. A prominent example is Vitaliy “V1lat” Volochai, who began as a Dota 2 commentator and then moved on to work on Ukrainian television covering major sports events. Such transitions highlight how versatile the skills honed in esports have become.
