Over the past 12 months, Betway has significantly increased its presence within the esports industry through a range of partnerships with multiple esports organisations. This includes becoming a principal partner of Dota 2 team PSG.LGD.
Carlos ‘Ocelote’, CEO of G2, talked about the initiative: “It’s great to see our partners at Betway doing this Battle of Betway show. This will definitely bring the teams together as part of the Betway family and I look forward to seeing them!”
Esports Insider says: Betway has a strong presence in CS:GO through its multiple collaborations with esports teams. As such, it’s not a surprise to see the company utilise its portfolio and create a high-quality tournament. Strong names such as G2, NIP and FURIA should attract a range of fans to the event.
