Adam Savinson, on behalf of esports at Betway, said:
“The Battle of Betway is our most ambitious CSGO sponsorship activation to date; bringing together our leading teams from all over the world to battle it out in one epic Betway tournament. Occurring just before the long awaited Stockhold Major, this is every CSGO fans last opportunity to see how their favorite teams stack up against each other before fighting it out for the top prize of the year.”
arT, on behalf of FURIA said:
"It's good to have a more serious review in showmatch format to connect teams that only face each other in big tournaments. It's cool for us and for the fans too, who will see a good match but in a really fun way.”
Ocelote, CEO of G2 said:
“It is great to see our partners at Betway put on this Battle of Betway spectacle. This will definitely bring the teams closer as part of the Betway family and I look forward to watching it!”
Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, on behalf of NIP said:
“I'm really looking forward to these matches! We play each other so much in practice and officials, and these are always tough games versus really skilled players. It's going to feel great to play them in this format, it gives us an opportunity to try new stuff that we’ve only done in practice before.”
