Twitch has announced that they have partnered with eSports teams Cloud9 and Team SoloMid.
Cloud9 and TSM are both known for having teams in popular games like Hearthstone, CS:GO, Smite, Vainglory and Super Smash. TSM and Cloud9 also have big name sponsors like Curse, Geico, Logitech, Loot Gaming backing them up. Twitch is still a useful sponsor, however, as they will be able to bring in more revenue and the teams will be able to bring more publicity to their platform and eSports as a whole.
Perhaps with the extra money, Twitch will be able to bring even more new features to their platform like they are known for doing in the past. Maybe they’ll even go as far as to host their own tournaments! Who knows, it’s a crazy world.
