eSports league partners Genius Sports

London-headquartered sports technology firm Genius Sports has partnered FACEIT, the competitive gaming platform and creators of the Esports Championship Series (ECS).

Genius Sports’ new CS:GO analytics platform, which will be integrated with the ECS league ahead of Season 3, will enhance the way data and statistics are used to engage with fans.

ECS will also benefit from Genius Sports’ eSports Bet Monitoring System to monitor betting markets in real-time and alert ECS to any unusual market patterns such as skin betting and match fixing, as well as educational workshops conducted by the Genius Sports team.

“Integrity has always been the core value for FACEIT and ECS,” said Michele Attisani, Chief Business Officer and Co-founder of FACEIT. “We are very aware of the challenges all leagues face as the industry grows and we felt this was a logical next step to safeguard our fans and stakeholders.

“Genius Sports is the trusted and go-to platform for all major sports leagues, their unrivalled experience in this sector alongside the newly developed technology specifically designed for CS:GO makes them an integral partner for ECS as the league continues to grow.”
