Over the last 12 months Warner Music has secured a range of esports partnerships through its regional divisions. This includes the likes of MAD Lions, ESPL and the LCO, among others.
Meanwhile, in February paysafecard extended its long term partnership with event organiser and production company ESL Gaming.
