FaZe Clan, one of the most popular esports and gaming organizations, has announced a multi-million dollar sponsorship deal with crypto gaming platform Rollbit.
The agreement was signed last Tuesday (23) and included support for FaZe Clan’s Counter-Strike 2 team.
FaZe Clan is currently leading the world rankings
The FaZe Clan team leads developer Valve’s world rankings. The organization did not specify an exact dollar amount for the settlement, nor did it say how many years the deal will last.
However, the agreement specifically focuses on sponsoring the team’s activities outside of North America. However, Rollbit is not available to users in the United States.
“We believe this marks one of the largest sponsorship deals in the history of Counter-Strike and esports,” FaZe Clan President Erik Anderson said in a statement.
“Brands like Rollbit are looking for new ways to connect with large, highly engaged global audiences,” he added.
FaZe Clan is one of the most prominent esports team organizations and also has teams in games like Call of Duty and Rainbow Six Siege, along with numerous streamers and influencers.
The organization was acquired by Gamesquare – which is backed by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones – for just $17 million in October 2023. Then, a year after going public on the Nasdaq the market cap rose to $725 millions.
Team history in eSports tournaments
The FaZe Clan CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) team has been actively participating in various tournaments, winning cash prizes and achieving incredible results.
The team participated in 130 tournaments and earned more than $7 billion in prize money from CS2 tournaments.
The team’s performance has been a routine of successes and challenges. For example, they achieved victory at Intel Extreme Masters XV – New York Online: Europe in 2020.
Additionally, the organization won more prizes in CS2 than in all of 2023 CS:GO, surpassing its performance in terms of prize money for 2023 CS:GO.
Therefore, FaZe Clan remains dominant in CS2, beating Ninjas in Pajamas in their debut match at BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2023.
Although the team has faced some instability in its play, it remains a strong presence in the CS2 competitive scene.
