Many probably still remember my streaming days and now that I’m back at it at a regular basis, I can’t imagine doing it for any other service but Twitch. Our values align and I can’t be more excited about G2 Esports signing a multi-year contract and elevating our relationship with Twitch to new heights. I’m absolutely certain we will have an amazing time together and might even break a record or two!”
Pontus Eskilsson, Sr. Partnerships Manager, EMEA of Twitch also commented: “G2 Esports has captivated fans with their impressive skills across multiple games, including winning both LCS EU Spring and Summer two years in a row.

Esports Insider says: Twitch is, without a doubt, the primary place to stream when it comes to esports – and gaming in general. G2 Esports is a popular organisation with 11 teams, so it should thrive on the platform if it commits to producing unique content. This is another exclusive content deal for Twitch, and esports generally, too.
