Paris, January 6, 2022: Team Vitality and Tezos, the world’s most advanced blockchain, are pleased to announce a technology partnership that will revolutionize the experience for Team Vitality fans. The two brands are joining forces through the largest contract in the esports club’s history to provide new ways to connect with fans and engage with star athletes. These connections will be made possible through the pioneering, energy-efficient, open-source Tezos blockchain.
Team Vitality competes in major leagues and the largest global competitions, so Tezos will be represented by the club’s top athletes and ambassadors, with unparalleled brand visibility in the esports ecosystem. 2022 is expected to mark the beginning of a new era for Team Vitality, which has signed the largest investment in players and coaching staff ever made in esports. This three-year commitment is set to make its mark on European and global esports.
This partnership, spanning 2022, 2023, and 2024, is one of the most significant in European esports history. It brings Team Vitality closer to its fans than ever before, will give the community unprecedented access to their favorite teams, and will reward them for their support. Team Vitality is collaborating with the Tezos ecosystem to raise fans’ awareness of the benefits of blockchain within the gaming experience and to highlight these technological advancements. Esports and gaming fans are among the most engaged and tech-savvy communities. Through Tezos, Team Vitality will showcase the full range of benefits offered by blockchain and the importance of using and developing it responsibly to create an engaging, fan-centric experience.
This technology partnership is one of Tezos’s first steps into the rapidly growing esports sector. This industry and the global video game market represent a key opportunity for the blockchain world, and the Tezos ecosystem is committed to supporting them wholeheartedly. The association with Team Vitality reflects the appeal and capability of Europe’s leading esports club to support the Tezos ecosystem in this endeavor.
Tezos is the world’s most advanced and energy-efficient blockchain. It uses proof-of-stake technology, which has a much lower environmental impact than the proof-of-work technology used by other market leaders. This innovative partnership aims to involve the esports and video game communities in blockchain and promote the sustainable development and use of technology.
“This is truly a game-changing partnership for Vitality, and it comes at the perfect time, as 2022 is set to be the biggest year in our history. The opportunities Tezos can bring to strengthen our relationship with our fans are incredibly exciting, and we are immensely proud to have Tezos join us on this journey,” said Nicolas Maurer, Managing Director of Team Vitality.
“It is a major milestone for Europe’s largest esports team as the blockchain and video game industries continue to build a fan- and player-centric future. Team Vitality’s decision to choose the Tezos blockchain as its technology partner is another signal from the established and rapidly growing video game sector that low emissions, scalability, and ease of use are key factors in the next wave of blockchain technology adoption. I am delighted to see Team Vitality join the Tezos community.“ – Mason Edwards, Chief of Staff, Tezos Foundation
