Tournament operator ESL FACEIT Group has announced a long-term partnership with esports information company Bayes Esports. As part of the deal, the company will provide data for the organizer's title esports series, including ESL Pro Tour, ESL Impact and FACEIT Collegiate, as well as Dota 2 tournaments.

Over the past couple of years, we have been able to set the industry standard for official data with Bayes Esports. Through our collaborative initiatives, we are at the forefront of maintaining and promoting integrity in esports.We are excited to continue our long-term strategic partnership and continue to innovate in data-driven content solutions to create added value that will contribute to the long-term commercial sustainability of the entire ecosystem.

Interestingly, the companies have been cooperating since 2020, but now they are significantly expanding the partnership deal. Now the parties intend to expand the agreement in the field of protecting esports integrity. In addition, ESL FACEIT Group and Bayes Esports intend to advance in content creation as the tournament operator gains access to the company's technology product portfolio.

The opportunity to make some impressive announcements, one of which is this all-important partnership with the ESL FACEIT Group, is incredible. As well as being a great sign for us that we are on the right track and that what we are doing is catching on with the most important players in the industry, it is also a clear statement towards the gray market of the esports data industry. With the leader in competitive gaming and esports by our side and over 12,000 match data, we can move forward and continue to shape esports based on official data, ensure the integrity of its biggest events, and show no mercy to those who harm the long-term development of this industry due to inappropriate offers.

Martin Dachselt, CEO and Managing Director of Bayes Esports

The companies said they plan to develop a product that will automatically sync video and data to create vibrant social media videos. In addition to ESL, Bayes Esports' other notable media partners include Riot Games, BLAST Premier, and KRAFTON.
