The Super Bowl LV was a pioneer for the gaming community, as Nadeshot and 100 Thieves made the first move towards a fantastic collaboration. The owner and CEO of 100T was a part of the Rockstar Energy Drink commercial during the event. This was the first time a gaming entity made a commercial appearance at a sporting event.

Dr Disrespect and Ninja among audience posters at the Super Bowl LV
When celebrities cannot attend events such as the NBA or NFL championships, fans make sure there are posters of them in the audience. At the Super Bowl LV, fans ensured that the Call of Duty veteran and football enthusiast, Dr Disrespect, was there.
In addition to the ‘Two Time,’ fans also wanted the Twitch superstar Ninja to be there. Ninja was physically present at the last edition of the Super Bowl. He was there with his wife Jessica Blevins, who expressed her disappointment at not being able to make it this year after someone spotted Ninja’s poster in the audience.

Fortunately for Nick, he was on the winning side as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched the trophy with a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Moreover, quarterback Tom Brady won his seventh title, being the MVP of the game against the Chiefs. On the other hand, Dr Disrespect found himself supporting the losing side as his predictions went down the drain.
The Super Bowl LV was a massive event with a great halftime show by The Weekend. While many fans found themselves on the losing side, they respected the game as it was a blast for all.
