Team Spirit and Parimatch Sign a Renewed Contract for 2022
Parimatch, the global betting brand, has extended its cooperation with The International 10 champions, Team Spirit. According to the contract, Parimatch will stay as the title sponsor of esports organisation throughout 2022, with the potential for the agreement to be extended at least until 2024.
Team Spirit and Parimatch began their cooperation in the summer of 2019. Over the years, the esports organisation won multiple tournaments — the most recent of them being The International 10 where the triumphant team claimed the prize of over $18,000,000.
The updated visual style of Team Spirit’s jerseys will feature Parimatch logo on the front and sleeves of the organisation’s Dota 2 and CS:GO uniforms. Just like in 2019-2021, the brands intend to continue creating exciting content for the esports community worldwide, as well as launch a joint merch line.
In 2021, Team Spirit has been an undisputed leader regarding their performance and one of the world’s most popular esports organisations. Over the last year, users have placed over 4 million bets on Team Spirit using Parimatch’s platform.
“It is a genuine partnership. We started working even before the legendary roster appeared, even when Dota 2 as a whole was not a priority for “dragons.” The victory at the most prestigious esports tournament in the world opens a new page in the organisation’s history for Team Spirit. Glad we are part of this story.”
Stepan Shulga, Head of Esports at Parimatch Tech.
“We are glad to announce the continuation of cooperation with the Parimatch brand. We carefully select companies and brands for potential collaboration. Parimatch has established itself as a reliable betting brand that focuses on esports and its development over so many years on the market. Moreover, we are delighted that the Parimatch brand strives to enter into partnerships with the best in their sports. It is a pride for us to be on a par with such giants of world sports as Chelsea and Juventus. We much appreciate our partner’s interest in the growth of our brand and a concern for the promotion of Team Spirit both in the regional and international arena. This is a rare quality on the market today. Thanks to the Parimatch brand for this approach.”
Nikita Chukalin, CEO of Team Spirit.
Developing esports is a priority for the Parimatch Tech holding, promoting the Parimatch brand globally and providing tech and marketing solutions in the entertainment and betting industry. Esports development is reflected in the company’s main product, mobile applications, specialized promotions, and giveaways for esports fans. In addition to partnerships with well-known esports clubs and players, Parimatch brand supports amateur tournaments, organizes its own professional leagues, and creates content for the esports community on social networks.

Thunderpick, the leading esports betting platform, in partnership with Oddin.gg, a provider of end-to-end esports betting solutions, today announced the exclusive launch of BetPeek, a first-of-its-kind interactive esports viewing experience available only on Thunderpick.io.

BetPeek’s key features include:
- Follow Any Player – Switch instantly to the POV of any competitor on the server.

- Play, Pause & Rewind – Revisit every clutch play with DVR-style controls.
- Integrated Betting Tools – Access deeper context and analysis to inform smarter wagers.
“Traditional esports streams have barely evolved; they’re often one-size-fits-all broadcasts that leave fans wishing for more control,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick. “BetPeek completely changes that. By putting fans in the driver’s seat, we’re delivering an esports experience that’s not just more engaging, but truly revolutionary for bettors and spectators alike.”
Why It Matters
Until now, esports fans had little choice beyond passively watching standard tournament streams or fragmented co-streams. BetPeek represents the next era: an interactive, on-demand, and bet-integrated platform unlike anything else in the industry. For bettors, this means unprecedented visibility into momentum shifts, rotations, and player form. For fans, it’s a chance to experience the match exactly how they want.
