Betway furthers its coverage and presence within esports, confirming that it will sponsor the newly reformed ‘Made in Brazil’ (MiBR) team.

The partnership represents Betway’s second esports team sponsorship, with the bookmaker acting as a lead sponsor of Counter Strike outfit Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP).

Coached by Ricardo “DEAD” Sinigaglia, a leading figurehead in the Brazilian esports’ scene, the MiBR team has had one of the most colourful histories in esports.

Founded in 2003, MiBR is Brazil’s oldest esports team, however, in 2012 the outfit dissolved.

In 2018, Sinigaglia announced that MiBR would return to Counter-Strike competitions backed by new investment from leading esports franchise Immortals

MIBR will appear in its comeback competition July 3-8 at ESL One Cologne.  Betway will receive significant rights and assets within the deal including access to MIBR’s star players for the creation of exclusive content.

Betway’s Anthony Werkman, said: “Betway is delighted to support the revival of MIBR. We couldn’t be more excited to be working with them in bringing CS:GO fans closer to the team through exclusive content. “Esports is an extremely important part of our portfolio, and through the sponsorship of MIBR, we will continue to cement ourselves as a significant part of the CS:GO community.

“We always strive to give back to esports fans by bridging the gap between the event and betting slip through producing great content and exciting markets in which fans can play.”

Betway joins K-Swiss clothing, Tinder and Mountain Dew as lead sponsors of MiBR. As team backers, Immortals has confirmed that the team will relocate to Los Angeles to train and practice at the Immortals campus

Ari Segal, President and COO of Immortals and MIBR, said: “The pace of change in esports continues to accelerate and over the last several months, triggered in part by the repeal of PASPA, we see continued acceptance and adoption of legalized gambling in esports and around the world.

“Establishing Betway as a founding sponsor of MIBR delivers professionalism and legitimacy to the esports gambling market in a way that most other names in this category could not. We are excited by the opportunity to develop new esports fans through this unique channel.”
