G2 Esports has successfully closed a seven-figure Series B funding round, marking a significant milestone as the organization approaches its tenth anniversary. The capital infusion will fuel the company’s expansion into new esports titles and enhance its direct-to-fan offerings, positioning G2 for continued growth on a global scale.
Key new investors joining G2’s ownership group include WISE Ventures, the investment arm of the Wilf family, owners of the Minnesota Vikings (NFL), Orlando City SC (MLS), and Pride (NWSL). Other prominent backers include real estate development firm Garden Homes, serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, and The Tornante Company, led by former Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Company CEO Michael Eisner.

G2 Esports plans to use the funds to support its global expansion efforts, particularly its entry into additional esports titles. Notably, the investment will also be directed towards the Call of Duty League (CDL) following G2’s acquisition of the Minnesota Rokkr’s CDL slot from Version1. This acquisition, part of a strategic partnership with Version1—owned by the Wilf family—was completed in late 2023.
In addition to these new investors, existing backers have also increased their investments in G2, including Jens Hilgers, founder of Bitkraft and ESL; Al Tylis, part-owner of multiple sports franchises including Wrexham AFC, DC United, and Club Necaxa; and Bluepool, which owns the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and the WNBA’s New York Liberty.
G2 Esports CEO Alban Dechelotte emphasized the strength of the organization’s financial position, stating, “This successful investment round and the addition of our new investors showcases G2’s strength and value as an organization.”
