Thanks to this new agreement, NLC viewers will have a chance to win some of MasterCard’s prizes during the tournament.

Sebastian Weishaar, ESL’s Gaming CPO, is pleased that his organization will continue to work with MasterCard:

“The first year of the NLC was a huge success, so we couldn’t be happier to continue our partnership with MasterCard. Their ongoing support of this industry and our community is immensely valuable. We look forward to offering even more content to our fans of the NLC throughout 2021.”

This year’s agreement between the two entities will include lots of new things in the tournament, such as insight shows, highlight replays, in-broadcast graphics, and giveaway rewards to the fans.
