Counter-Strike 2 analyst Jacob ‘Pimp’ Winneche has shared that he will commentate the UEFA Conference League final between Chelsea and Real Betis.
Pimp’s first game as a football commentator will take place tomorrow 8 pm BST on the Disney+ Danish supporters feed.
Pimp is a veteran in the Counter-Strike scene, starting his esports career as a CS: Source player in 2011. The following year, the Dane switched to CS:GO, becoming one of the game’s most recognised broadcast analysts.
Pimp has worked with all major circuits in the CS esports landscape, including PGL, IEM and BLAST.tv. He is also the Co-Owner of Refrag, a CS training platform founded in 2018. Earlier this year, the analyst joined esports organisation Team Vitality as an ambassador.
With 10 years of CS broadcast experience, Pimp is now diving into the world of football commentary.
“Excited to announce that I’ll be commentating Chelsea vs Real Betis conference league final Wednesday night on Disney+,” Pimp shared on X (formerly Twitter). “It’ll be my first game as a football commentator, and I’m hella excited to use the 10 years of CS broadcast experience to have a fun night with football!”
The analyst also announced a giveaway for an official signed Chelsea shirt. More information about the giveaway should be revealed later today.
What is the UEFA Conference League?
The UEFA Conference League (UECL) represents the third tier of continental club football in Europe. The annual competition has been organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) since 2021.
The UECL 2024-25 kicked off on October 2nd last year, with qualifiers already held in July and August. On May 8th, English club Chelsea and Spain’s Real Betis advanced to the UECL final after defeating Djurgården (1-0) and Fiorentina (2-2) in the Semifinals.
While Betis is considered an underdog in the tournament, Chelsea has previously won two UEFA Champions League titles, two UEFA Europa League and two European Cup Winner’s Cups.
Tomorrow’s final will be held at Stadion Wrocław in Wrocław, Poland, streamed across several broadcast partners.
