ESL Faceit Group Acquires Vindex

I’m very surprised not a lot of people are talking about this because this is huge news for esports overall as ESL Faceit Group (EFG for short), one of the biggest premiere leagues and tournaments in the world just announced that they have acquired Vindex, one of the premiere services for esports from the business level.

In a press release by EFG, EFG and Vindex will work together to bring the best of both worlds to the esport, business and the video game communities all over the world. Co-CEO of ESL Faceit Group had this to say about the acquisition of Vindex:

“The unmatched expertise and talent of our combined teams are the catalyst to drive our mission to build worlds beyond gameplay around the games fans love. The combination with Vindex brings together the power of our brands with a new scale in infrastructure and production capabilities. As one, this will help serve new communities of gamers and accelerate gaming culture globally.” – Craig Levine, co-CEO of ESL FACEIT Group

Mike Sepso, the CEO of Vindex had this to say as well about the acquisition:

“By joining forces with EFG, we are bringing together the best of video games and esports under one roof. EFG is the global leader in the industry and being part of the ESL FACEIT Group will allow us to not only expand our global footprint but also leverage our complementary technology stack to deliver a comprehensive suite of products and services to drive engagement. Together, we are best positioned to accelerate our growth plans and scale our offering for publishers, brands, and gamers worldwide.” – Mike Sepso, CEO of Vindex

With Dream Hack San Diego less than a month away we might get to see if they will show what this acquisition will look like from here on out.
