Dignitas

today announced a deal with livestreaming platform Caffeine

that makes it the exclusive broadcasting partner of the organization for team-focused content.

The multi-year agreement will see the companies collaborate on original series, including one on Dignitas’ Rocket League team—which won the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) World Championship in Season 5 last year—and the organization’s all-women Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team.

Additionally, Caffeine has secured naming rights for the content studio inside Dignitas’ upcoming gaming facility, which will be located near the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, home to the New Jersey Devils. Both teams are owned by Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment. Further details about the facility will be announced soon.

Caffeine will also be the home for a forthcoming influencer program from Dignitas, which will “produce original content and live shows for leading influencers at the confluence of gaming and pop culture,” according to a release.
