Weibo Gaming is a Chinese esports organization owned by the Weibo Corporation.
Its League of Legends team competes in the LPL, the top-level league for the game in China. It was owned by e-commerce company Suning.com for most of its history and was previously known as Suning.
Weibo are also members of the Esports World Cup Foundation Club Support Program, funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which gives teams monetary rewards for painting the Esports World Cup tournament series in a positive light and driving engagement to the tournament, which is seen to some as a sportswashing tool that Saudi Arabia is using to distract the public from their poor human rights record.
