Esports broadcasting and analytics studio RuHub has become an official partner of the #HomeSweetHome Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament series.

The partnership will see RuHub organise Russian broadcasts of the 16-team tournament on its Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/csruhub . At the time of writing, five teams had been confirmed: Virtus.pro, BIG, GODSENT, North, and forZe.

Commenting on the news RuHub CEO, Anton Oleinik, said:

“We are happy to announce our partnership with the #HomeSweetHome tournament series. Now we face a difficult challenge: to hold as many interesting events as possible in an online format and try to fill in the gaps from the cancellation of events as much as possible. Take care of your health, take care of your family, and watch the games of your favorite teams from home — this will be the best support for the esports industry.”

Organised by esports data provider GRID and events producer Relog Media to fill gaps left in the programming schedule by the COVID-19 crisis, the #HomeSweetHome series has a $320,000 prize pool and will take place over eight weeks.

Organisers will be announcing a new start date to avoid conflicting with the current ESL Pro League.

AYO.NEWS says:

The #HomeSweetHome series is yet another fine example of the esports industry stepping up to quickly fill the gaps left by the unprecedented COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. This ability to quickly adapt and provide large scale international events is unparalleled in the entertainment or sporting worlds.
