Coinbase Extends Esports Push With ESL Sponsorship

[Casual]

The crypto exchange racks up its third esports sponsorship this year. ESL, originally launched as the Electronic Sports League in 2000, is one of the longest-standing tournament organizers in the esports industry and holds an array of live and online competitions across various games. The German firm is attempting to return to live events as pandemic restrictions ease, and a blog post today suggests that “partners such as Coinbase and Shopify” will help ESL take the necessary steps to safely return to in-person competition.“Within ESL Pro Tour, one of our main focuses has always been to stay forward-thinking to provide long-term stability within the ecosystem for players, commentators, and fans. Coinbase as a partner will help provide the support to realize this goal,” the post reads. “We hope we can work together to educate our fans on the next generation of exchanges while working together for the benefit of StarCraft community members and competitors.”source
