Cloud9 Expands Esports Portfolio with Entity Acquisition, Partnering with BC.GAME

Team has been rebranded as Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2

Los Angeles, CA, August 13th 2024. BC.GAME and Cloud9 Esports extend their existing partnership with Cloud9’s acquisition of the Dota 2 esports team Entity.  As part of the deal, the European-based Entity has been renamed Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2.

Entity is a prominent European Dota 2 team known for its strong performance and high rankings in the competitive Dota 2 scene. The team has consistently demonstrated its prowess in various tournaments and achieved impressive global rankings, recently securing first place at 1win Series Dota 2 Spring 2024. 

The rebranded Cloud9 BC.GAME Dota 2 team will make its debut at The International 2024, one of the largest events in esports.

Cloud9 has a strong track record of supporting the Dota 2 scene. Cloud9 first joined the Dota 2 scene in 2014. Their roster included notable players such as Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao, SingSing, Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, and Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling, which helped establish their presence in the competitive Dota 2 landscape. With their renewed presence, Cloud9 is committed to dedicating significant resources to support the team’s competitive growth and potential. 

As a leading platform, BC.GAME offers a wide range of esports products, including Counter Strike, Dota 2, and places a strong emphasis on compliance, having recently secured a new Curacao LOK license.

CEO of BC.GAME Jack Dorset said, “We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Cloud9 and make significant strides in the Dota 2 scene. This collaboration is an opportunity for us to push the boundaries of what we can achieve in esports and deliver exceptional experiences for our community.”

“We’re thrilled to reignite our presence in the Dota 2 scene and further our ongoing partnership with BC.GAME,” said Jack Etienne, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloud9. “Dota 2 holds a special place in Cloud9’s history as one of the first games we’ve entered as an organization. BC.GAME’s dedication to supporting our teams and creating engaging content for our fans is invaluable. This collaboration allows us to bring even more exciting experiences to the Cloud9 community, honoring our past while looking forward to a promising future in Dota 2.”

The Entity acquisition marks the second collaboration between BC.GAME and Cloud9. In August 2022, BC.GAME partnered with Cloud9, becoming their official Gaming and Sports Betting Partner. BC.GAME will continue to support Cloud9 in all CS initiatives while the team strives to bring home major titles.

Both partnerships were facilitated by SportQuake, a leading sports marketing agency.
