Sergey Barkhudaryan, Commercial Director at ESforce Holding added: “Partnership with Parimatch became a stellar case of viewers enjoying a huge, emotionally fueled show, and partners appreciating sincere gratitude and high level of audience engagement. We are happy to take the next step in our partnership by greeting Parimatch as the official partner of our main event – the EPICENTER.”
Earlier this month, Parimatch entered a partnership with ESforce Holding to launch the Parimatch League for Dota 2. The eight-team tournament sees squads from Russia, Belarus, and the CIS region.
Esports Insider says: This seems like a natural expansion of the original partnership made between Parimatch and ESforce Holding earlier this month. It’s hard to judge this specific partnership because the terms and activations aren’t known, but at least there’s not a long wait to find out.
