Parimatch Extends Esports Partnership with Team Spirit

Parimatch and Team Spirit will continue to work together through at least 2022 after the partnership between the two organizations began in 2019 and culminated with the Russian Dota 2 squad winning The International 10.

The event resulted in a massive $18 million payout going to Team Spirit and Parimatch will continue to be part of the team’s professional development in the years to come. The contract may be extended for additional two years through 2024 during which Parimatch will remain Team Spirit’s title sponsor.

Parimatch Helps Team Spirit’s Promotional Efforts

Parimatch’s logo and signage will be visible on Team Spirit’s jerseys’ front and sleeves for both the Dota 2 and CS:GO squads. The pair will work on a number of content activations similar to its previous collaboration between 2019 and 2021.

Parimatch and Team Spirit are also talking about the launch of a merch line that will be available to fans worldwide. Parimatch has proven to be a particularly lucrative platform with the betting agency collecting over four million bets over the last year on Team Spirit alone.  Parimatch head of esports Stepan Shulga had this to say commenting on the deal:

“It is a genuine partnership. We started working even before the legendary roster appeared, even when Dota 2 as a whole was not a priority for “dragons.” The victory at the most prestigious esports tournament in the world opens a new page in the organization’s history for Team Spirit. Glad we are part of this story”
