G2 Esports is a World Premier Esports Club founded in 2015, which includes professional teams in League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Hearthstone, Rocket League, VALORANT, Rainbow 6 Siege, Halo and Apex Our club was built with the desire to bring new innovation into esports team management and business whilst upholding our core values of professionalism. We create the best atmosphere for the players which stems from the extensive experience of the Founder and core staff. Our ultimate goal is to help pushing esports to the next level with our club already being the leader for its team achievements coupled with high quality content output. Our reach exceeds millions of views every month on multiple online platforms and continues to rise with the teams'​ success. The talent development, care and support from the club has led the teams to every major tournament and league so far. Our European League of Legends team went from playing in the Challenger Series to winning the European Championship Series in just one split, as the first team in League of Legends history. This is only topped by the fact that since then they managed to secure the title four consecutive times in a row. Our partners play a key-role in our success and we are proud to count Logitech, paysafecard, AOC, Twitch, NEEDforSEAT and ESP.bet as part of the G2 family. It’s our goal to work closely and cohesively with our partners to improve the esports experience for everyone. Therefore we accommodate a wide range of ideas and creative solutions and are in the fortunate position to share our vision, tone and the requirement for the highest quality possible with all of our partners.

Our mission is to bring game influencer communities together through fun and interactive gaming content on live streams, thereby helping influencers engage and monetize their audience. We are at intersection of two huge trends in the $140B gaming industry. One is that games produced need to have influencer strategy and have built in loops for viewer/friends interaction and narration. Other is unabated growth in appetite of 2b+ gamers for competitive gaming and eSports content. Boom is building a middle platform helping game developers build incentive and monetization loops for influencers and viewers.
