Wave Esports is entering a partnership with the energy drink brand Red Bull
It’s an honor for us to join forces with a global company that also has its roots in Austria. Red Bull is known for giving wings to talents. Especially when it comes to the esports scene, they have been one of the first but also most dedicated brands to support this fast-growing industry.
Thanks to Red Bull’s infrastructure we will be able to further develop our Valorant team, which has already left its mark among the European scene. Their support will also help us when expanding into new games and we are looking forward to a successful future together.
“From the very beginning, it was a goal of ours to work with Red Bull. Achieving this just before our company turns 1 year old is a great accomplishment for us and we are very happy that Red Bull believes in us. Looking back at what we managed to achieve throughout 2020 in the competitive scene and having this translate into commercial success in 2021 goes to show that we are definitely on the right path. We believe in excellence and competitive drive and knowing that they want to help us further develop and achieve our goals makes us extremely happy. We are ready to prove what we can do with Red Bull and establish a long-lasting partnership and we are looking forward to closing more partnerships throughout this year!” – Ivaelo Bozhilov, CFO and Head of Partnerships at Wave Esports
