VETERAN film and television actor Paulo Avelino has taken his passion for gaming into business as the newest partner of esports and streaming company LuponWXC.
Founded by local gaming icon Nico “KuyaNic’’ Nazario in 2015, LuponWXC offers streamers, esports players and professional groups in the country new and diverse opportunities to connect with their viewers.
Avelino came in with his extensive background in production and experience in the media industry to help position LuponWXC for its entry into the mainstream.
Avelino was a longtime fan of Nazario before they met through a mutual friend.
“One day, our common friend asked me if I had any supplies lying around for a certain product that was out of stock everywhere,” Avelino said. “I asked who needed it, and he said it was KuyaNic. Knowing who he was, I offered to give him the product for free.”
“I’ve always believed that gaming is the future,” said Nazario, who first broke into the scene in 2016 with his groundbreaking idea to create a broadcast platform for gaming called WomboXCombo.
As a key partner in the company’s development, Avelino will share his knowledge and use his experience to improve the quality of the company’s curated content and coverage of all current gaming events.
Later this year, Avelino and Nazario will be looking forward to the completion of their world-class gaming facility in General Trias, Cavite, with 11 broadcast studios.
LuponWXC currently has six operational studios focused on original content, Mobile Legends, DotA 2, original show concepts with Kumu, event activations and major broadcast productions.
