The organisation said the partnership will bring ‘more value’ to OG Esports’ Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive rosters. The organisation joins the likes of Natus Vincere (NaVi) and tournament organiser ESL on 1xBet’s partnership roster.
2022 has been busy for OG Esports. In January, the organisation appointed Michael Schwarts as its Head of Esports and prior to partnering with 1xBet, it joined forces with British esports organisation LDN UTD as part of a joint venture into VALORANT esports.
Romane Sorine, Head of Partnerships at OG Esports, spoke on the deal: “Having the opportunity to count with 1xBET on our side is pretty exciting. As an experienced company in the sports and esports field, we’re sure that 1xBET will help us step up, even more, our projects, by not only enabling us with more resources but also with their ideas and expertise.”
