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 delivering fans cutting-edge tools and experiences, announced that FURIA has emerged victorious at the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 — one of the tournament’s most competitive editions yet, featuring four of the world’s top 10 ranked teams. FURIA takes home the $500,000 first-place prize, with KSCERATO earning his first Grand Final MVP.

FURIA’s steady performance and relentless focus were on full display throughout the tournament, culminating in a Finals victory over Natus Vincere. After NAVI went up two maps to zero, FURIA did what many thought was impossible and completed a dominant reverse sweep with a 13:1 on the decisive map.

Natus Vincere finished second place, earning $150,000. The MongolZ, who won the Thunderpick World Championship last year, finished third after defeating Aurora earlier in the day, receiving $70,000 and $50,000, respectively. Venom, 9z, Imperial and OG all placed fifth through eighth, taking home $20,000 each.

“It is a privilege to congratulate FURIA as the Thunderpick World Champions! This tournament was thrilling, featuring exceptional gameplay. The success of our World Championship is thanks to the incredible teams, streamers, partners, staff, and everyone behind the scenes who made it possible, as well as the passionate fans who make this event so special,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick.

This year marks the third consecutive Thunderpick World Championship. Last year, The MongolZ stunned HEROIC to claim their third international title of the season, cementing their status on the global CS2 stage. In 2023, FaZe Clan took the crown after defeating Virtus.pro, with Robin “ropz” Kool earning the MVP title. The TWC 2025 Finals are presented in collaboration with Hotspawn, a leading hub for esports news and analysis.
