The Esports World Cup has been making headlines for making millionaires with its massive prize pool. It seems almost every day, more and more companies are getting involved so here’s all EWC sponsors in 2024.
All EWC Sponsors in Gaming
Of the 27 Esports World Cup sponsors, you can split them into 3 different types. There are those that are native to the hosting country of Saudi Arabia, who’s support you’d expect with a local event. There are those that are outside of gaming, such as clothing brands, and those that you’d expect to see in gaming events, such as peripheral and the like.
