Red Bull gives BIG wings

Red Bull is sponsoring a German esports team for the first time in history and will be an official partner of Berlin International Gaming from February 2019.

Berlin, 20. February 2019 – As one of the leading German Esport Clubs we have always aimed high with our goals. Today, we get new wings. We are the first German Esport-Club ever to represent Red Bull with our athletes as a long-term partner. An honor, and at the same time, another milestone in our history.

The last two years have been intense, there have been ups and downs, many emotional moments. We have grown together with you. With BIG we had only one goal right from the start: we wanted to dominate the German market and make strong waves internationally. Today, about two years after the founding of Berlin International Gaming, we have become the undisputed best in Germany, leading the way in Counter-Strike for the country, and reached the top of the word in esports.

We owe this not only to all our first-class athletes but also to our loyal partners and above all to you – our fans. With Red Bull we can welcome today a new member in our BIG family. From the very beginning, our team has stood for unique team spirit, unbending will, concentration and absolute willingness to perform. This attitude has shaped our way and BIG as an organization. We are very grateful that Red Bull would now like to accompany us on our journey.

 

Statement Daniel Finkler, CEO

As CEO, I am very proud that only two years after our foundation we were able to convince a global brand like Red Bull of our vision. It is an honor and a significant milestone in the history of Berlin International Gaming. The partnership establishes not only our top position in Germany, but also in Europe and on a global scale. This was our goal from the very beginning. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the incredible support of our fans and at the same time highlight the astonishing performances of our players, who have exceeded all expectations in the past two years. We have achieved a lot together, and now we want to go even higher with Red Bull.
