When ESL UK added Dota 2 to the competition in September 2019, it also welcomed Mercedes-Benz as a sponsor. The automotive brand had already established a working relationship with ESL, activating at Dota 2 tournament ESL One Birmingham for two consecutive years.
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 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2
