This new sponsorship comes on the heels of previous collaborations between Evil Geniuses CS:GO team and Thunderpick, which was announced in May.
Thunderpick stands out in the esports betting landscape due to its crypto-exclusive transactions and commitment to providing a premium live crypto betting experience. The platform offers high-quality live streaming for each event, making it a fitting partner for the Evil Geniuses’ Dota 2 team.
The current formation of the Evil Geniuses Dota 2 roster, assembled after The International, encompasses some of the finest players from South America. With the team achieving remarkable results, including being the first from South America to secure a top-four finish at a DPC circuit Major, this partnership is poised to be a significant sponsorship deal for Thunderpick.
Kelly Sander, Thunderpick’s Head of Strategy, expressed enthusiasm about the deepening partnership with Evil Geniuses.
