This year has been a productive time for G2 Esports. Alongside securing partnerships with Bondly and Betway, the organisation has revealed several fashion collaborations alongside New Era, Ralph Lauren and Adidas.

Despite being heavily regarded as a major esports region, China’s ecosystem continues to develop. This year alone, entities such as the ePremier League and BLAST have made efforts to expand into the region. Moreover, prominent brands such as Ninjas in Pyjamas and Weibo have entered into the LPL, China’s franchised League of Legends competition.
Esports Insider says: By creating greater opportunities for its community all around the world, G2 Esports is slowly becoming a global esports organisation. With a growing fanbase in China, it only makes sense for the org to also expand its sales, which will expectedly boost its revenues.
