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.
Esports Insider says: The addition of Warner Music and paysafecard to VCT EMEA’s has bolstered the tournament’s commercial portfolio significantly. Both partners will provide financial benefits and also introduce integrations that should hopefully enhance VCT’s broadcasts.
