The finals will take place on 3rd of September. BMWś partnership comes immediately following ESLś announcement of Mercedes-Benz as their sponsor for several tournaments worldwide. This definitely marks a peak in interest in esports from the automotive industry.
This new involvement will complement our existing sports sponsoring activities with an eye on the future,” he said, “and allow us to make contact with a very interesting, new target group.”
Non-endemic investment into esports is burgeoning with esports growth continuing at a phenomenal pace. The Overwatch League seems to be the focal point of all such efforts, however we are also seeing investments in other aspects of esports.
