Intel and the ESL are committing a combined $100 million to new initiatives intended to expand esports globally.
As the official technology partner of the competitive gaming league ESL, Intel announced on Thursday that this latest investment is intended to expand esports through technology, tournaments and events. The brand and technology partnership is the biggest in esports history.
The two organizations aim to grow the worldwide appeal of esports through ESL properties, in part by launching large-scale esports events in new counties within the Asia-Pacific region. They will also work on developing new esports experiences for players and fans around the world.
