ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), the global esports powerhouse, has unveiled a landmark multi-year agreement with leading data infrastructure provider GRID. Set to commence at IEM Cologne 2025, the partnership grants GRID exclusive rights to distribute and manage competitive data across all of EFG’s Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 tournaments, including ESL FACEIT Group One and the ESL Pro League.

GRID will oversee real-time data capture and distribution, ensuring advanced insights are available to media, fans, sportsbooks, and commercial partners. Additionally, GRID will supply enhanced audio-visual feeds and data-driven visualisations tailored for both media and betting applications.

Moritz Maurer, CEO and Founder of GRID, emphasized the significance of the alliance: “EFG has defined esports in CS2 and Dota 2 over the last two decades, and we are proud to enter into this ecosystem as an exclusive data partner. Ultimately, EFG and GRID, alongside the existing portfolio of leading rights holders on the GRID Data Platform, aim to establish a standard for data in esports and gaming.”

The deal officially activates during IEM Cologne, one of Counter-Strike 2’s premier events, scheduled from July 23rd to August 3rd, 2025. With a $1 million prize pool and the world’s top-ranked teams competing, the tournament offers a high-profile launchpad for the partnership.

Earlier in 2025, EFG secured a long-term agreement with Shikenso Analytics and acquired the performance platform Mobalytics, expanding its analytical capabilities across the board.

GRID, which has established relationships with major esports entities including Riot Games and BLAST, recently partnered with Clavision for the Dota 2 Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi event, further extending its footprint in the competitive gaming ecosystem.
