Online bookmaker Parimatch Holding has signed on to be the official partner of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) EPICENTER series. The tournament will take place in Moscow, Russia, Dec. 17-19 and Dec. 21-22 for the group stage and playoffs, respectively. The LAN finals take place in the “Crocus Expo” exhibition center. The event’s prize pool is $500K USD.
“Partnership with Parimatch became a stellar case of viewers enjoying a huge, emotionally fueled show, and partners appreciating sincere gratitude and high level of audience engagement. We are happy to take the next step in our partnership by greeting Parimatch as the official partner of our main event – the EPICENTER,” noted Sergey Barkhudaryan, ESforce Holding commercial director.
This isn’t the first business venture between the two companies as Parimatch Holding launched the Parimatch League in late November together with ESforce Holding. Season one’s prize pool amounted to $75K including the winner prize of $40K for Virtus.pro. Season two is scheduled for the first half of 2020 with an increased prize pool of $100K.
