In addition, the energy drink brand’s support is also expected to help Wave when the organisation expands into other titles. Since its creation in 2019, Wave Esports has developed competitive rosters in Brawl Stars and Fortnite, alongside its VALORANT side.
Ivaelo Bozhilov, Chief Financial Officer and Head of Partnerships at Wave Esports, spoke on the deal in a release: “From the very beginning, it was a goal of ours to work with Red Bull. Achieving this just before our company turns 1 year old is a great accomplishment for us and we are very happy that Red Bull believes in us. Looking back at what we managed to achieve throughout 2020 in the competitive scene and having this translate into commercial success in 2021 goes to show that we are definitely on the right path.”
“We believe in excellence and competitive drive and knowing that they want to help us further develop and achieve our goals makes us extremely happy. We are ready to prove what we can do with Red Bull and establish a long-lasting partnership and we are looking forward to closing more partnerships throughout this year!”
