WePlay Esports is no stranger to brokering broadcast deals. In July, the company entered into an agreement with CS:GO esports tournament series BLAST Premier to show the series exclusively in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
Supercell, Brawl Stars publisher and developer, recently announced that the 2021 World Finals would take place in Bucharest from November 26th-28th. All qualifying teams have been given the option to compete at the venue or from their home country.
Esports Insider says: As an established name within the Russian and CIS esports industry, WePlay Esports is a strong partner for Supercell to select for Brawl Stars broadcasts. If the broadcasts are successful, it will be interesting to see if the two parties collaborate further for the World Finals in November.
