BC.GAME and Cloud9 Esports Extend Partnership with Cloud9's Acquisition of Dota 2 Team Entity

As part of the deal, the European-based Entity has been renamed Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2.

Esports entertainment platform BC.GAME and Cloud9 Esports have expanded their existing partnership with Cloud9’s acquisition of the Dota 2 esports team, Entity. As part of the deal, the European-based Entity has been renamed Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2.

Entity is a top European Dota 2 team that has risen quickly in the competitive Dota 2 scene. The team has performed well in several tournaments and is currently ranked highly globally, having recently won 1win Series Dota 2 Spring 2024. The rebranded Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2 team will play in The International 2024, one of the biggest esports events.

Cloud9 first joined the Dota 2 scene in 2014. Their roster included notable players such as Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao, SingSing, Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, and Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling, which helped establish their presence in the competitive Dota 2 landscape. With their renewed presence, Cloud9 will dedicate significant resources to support the team’s potential.

As a leading platform, BC.GAME offers a wide range of esports products, including Counter Strike, Dota 2, and places a strong emphasis on compliance, having recently secured a new Curacao LOK license.

“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Cloud9 and make significant strides in the Dota 2 scene. This collaboration is an opportunity for us to push the boundaries of what we can achieve in esports and deliver exceptional experiences for our community,” said Jack Dorset, CEO of BC.GAME.

“We’re thrilled to reignite our presence in the Dota 2 scene and further our ongoing partnership with BC.GAME,” said Jack Etienne, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloud9. “BC.GAME’s dedication to supporting our teams and creating engaging content for our fans is invaluable. This collaboration allows us to bring even more exciting experiences to the Cloud9 community.”

The Entity acquisition marks the second collaboration between BC.GAME and Cloud9. In August 2022, BC.GAME partnered with Cloud9, becoming their official Gaming and Sports Betting Partner. BC.GAME will continue to support Cloud9 in all CS initiatives while the team strives to bring home major titles.

Both partnerships were facilitated by SportQuake, a leading sports marketing agency.
