Gaming and cryptocurrency correlation:
ESL gaming is not the first to sponsor crypto Coinbase. Earlier Blast Premier also had the same exchange policy. Other than this Coinbase had also signed a deal with Evil Geniuses. No matter whether Coinbase had become the biggest exchange. Yet it is far away from the first position.
Some other groups of Esports like TSM had also signed a deal with crypto exchange FTX to become TSM FTX. FTX also partnered with Major League Baseball and National Football League.
What do you think regarding this policy? Although the collaboration of FTX and Coinbase is done uniquely. The main focus is to collaborate with youth, audience, and global level. To showcase the talent in a unique way or the team-based performance.
