BC.GAME Partners with Cloud9 as the Organization Expands Esports Portfolio Through Entity Acquisition
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, August 5th, 2024, Chainwire
BC.GAME and Cloud9 Esports have announced an extension of their partnership, coinciding with Cloud9’s acquisition of the Dota 2 esports team, Entity. Following this agreement, the team has been officially rebranded to Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2.
Entity, a well-regarded European Dota 2 team, has gained recognition for its impressive performances and rankings within the competitive Dota 2 landscape. The team has achieved notable success in various tournaments, recently claiming first place at the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring 2024.
The newly branded Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2 team is set to make its debut at The International 2024, one of the largest and most prestigious events in the esports calendar.
Cloud9 has a robust history of involvement in the Dota 2 scene, having first entered in 2014. Their initial roster boasted distinguished players such as Jacky "EternaLEnVy" Mao, SingSing, Johan "N0tail" Sundstein, and Kurtis "Aui_2000" Ling, which helped secure their position in the competitive Dota 2 environment. With this renewed commitment, Cloud9 plans to allocate significant resources toward nurturing the team’s competitive potential.
BC.GAME, a leading gaming platform, provides a variety of esports offerings, including games like Counter-Strike and Dota 2, and emphasizes compliance within the industry, having recently acquired a Curacao LOK license.
Jack Dorset, CEO of BC.GAME, expressed enthusiasm about the extended partnership, stating, "We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Cloud9 and make significant strides in the Dota 2 scene. This collaboration presents us with an opportunity to push the boundaries of esports and deliver exceptional experiences to our community."
Jack Etienne, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloud9, added, "We’re thrilled to reignite our presence in the Dota 2 scene and further our ongoing partnership with BC.GAME. Their commitment to supporting our teams and engaging with our fans is invaluable, and this collaboration enables us to create even more exciting experiences for the Cloud9 community."
This acquisition of Entity marks the second collaboration between BC.GAME and Cloud9, following their earlier partnership in August 2022 when BC.GAME became Cloud9’s official Gaming and Sports Betting Partner. BC.GAME will continue to provide support for Cloud9’s initiatives in other games while the organization aims for major victories.
Both partnerships were facilitated by SportQuake, a leading sports marketing agency.
