Kappa has been steadily increasing its involvement in esports, especially in the United Kingdom, over the past year. After establishing a deal with Vexed Gaming last August, it has entered three-year partnerships with other UK organisations Diabolus and Demise – as well as announcing alliances with Spanish brand MAD Lions and Chinese organisation Royal Never Give Up.
ESL Premiership was confirmed to be returning for the Autumn 2020 season on August 27th, with Razer in tow as a new sponsor. The competition will continue to provide opportunities for up-and-coming players across the United Kingdom and Ireland in Valve titles CS:GO and Dota 2.
