A prominent online betting platform, Betway, has announced a major collaboration as the primary backer for the upcoming 2017 ESL Pro League season. Kicking off today, this sixth season of the renowned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league features fourteen top-tier teams from both Europe and North America. These squads will compete online for a share of the substantial one million dollar prize pool. Enthusiasts can follow the matches every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The season will reach its peak with the ESL Pro League Finals, a live tournament held in Odense, Denmark from December 8th to the 10th.
This backing extends beyond simply displaying Betway’s branding. Spectators of the ESL Pro League will have the opportunity to view live wagering odds directly within the broadcast, a function Betway previously introduced at ESL One Cologne earlier this year to favorable responses. Betway’s dedication to esports is evident, having joined the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC) in 2016, further cementing their role as a champion of ethical conduct within competitive gaming.
“We are thrilled to witness some of the finest CS:GO competitors globally face off for a grand prize and a portion of a seven-figure sum in the coming months,” stated Anthony Werkman, Betway’s Director of Marketing and Operations. He elaborated, emphasizing the achievements of their prior endeavor, “Our support of ESL One Cologne was a resounding triumph, and the input we received from incorporating live odds information into the stream for the first time has motivated us to invest further in competitions and teams in the upcoming months and years.”
