eSports.com is rapidly becoming the largest esports portal in the world by providing professional coaching, celebrity charity tournaments, and more. Today they just made a big step in bridging the world of professional sports and eSports. German football (soccer) club Borussia Dortmund (BVB), announced a major video game and esports focused partnership today with eSports.com. This partnership will allow fans of one of Germany's most popular sports clubs to interact and play video games with BVB soccer stars at eSports.com.
“While our core business is football and what takes place on the pitch, many of our fans and athletes also love video games and esports,” said BVB Managing Director Carsten Cramer. “With eSports.com, we have found the ideal partner and platform for delivering highly-compelling and unique fan and athlete interaction content, engaging this increasingly important target group in new and creative ways.”
"BVB’s fans and our viewers complement and overlap with one another in many ways, and we are sure both groups will be excited by this new partnership,” said Michael Broda, CEO of eSports.com. “We also see this as a huge opportunity to help BVB gain access to the North American and Asian markets, while continuing to feature our content globally.”
