Online bookmaker Betway has announced a partnership with esports production company Beyond the Summit, and will be sponsoring CS_Summit 6. 

It’s not the first time Betway has teamed up with Beyond the Summit, having previously sponsored CS_Summit 5 in 2019. 

Starting on 22 June, CS_Summit 6 will be a four-phase tournament, involving 16 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams competing for a $200K (approx. €176K) prize pool. The tournament will also serve as a qualifier for November’s ESL Rio Major. 

Discussing the news Head of Esports at Betway, Adam Savinson, said:

“We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with Beyond the Summit for their first Official Valve event in CS:GO. Since our successful sponsorship of CS_Summit 5 last year, we have been keen to find another opportunity to work together. 

“We are delighted that we can yet again sponsor one of the year’s most exciting events, with the added prestige of being this summer’s RMR for Europe and North America.”

While Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Beyond the Summit, Michele Cheng, added:

“Betway has been a huge supporter of the Counter-Strike esports scene for many years now. They are true fans of the game, and we’re honored to partner with such an industry-leading bookmaker on our first official Valve event for CS:GO.”
