Hosted by PLAYzone, the Czech Championship in Counter-Strike 2 is celebrating its 14th edition since its inception in 2011. Oddin.gg is honored to join forces with Tipsport as the Official Data & Integrity Partner for this renowned event, joining forces for several upcoming seasons. In 2024, Oddin.gg  will provide official data covering the four seasonal cups leading up to the Main Event, starting in March and finishing in November finals, together offering approximately 200 maps. Details of the tournament setup in the more distant seasons will be disclosed in the future, but it is guaranteed that it will offer a volume of top quality content.

The Czech and Slovak Counter-Strike scene owes much of its success to the dedication of PLAYzone and Tipsport, a significant sponsor of the event since 2020. This partnership underscores Oddin.gg's dedication to expanding its data rights portfolio and reinforcing its position in the esports betting and data ecosystem. The multi-year deal is an expression of Oddin.gg's commitment to the world of esports.

We are committed to supporting both established and emerging tournament organizers in this dynamic industry, recognizing the challenges they face in event management. We were happy to offer a long-term deal, as Oddin.gg is here to be part of the esports ecosystem - that relates to offering top esports betting B2B services as well as supporting TOs.”

Pavel Kristián, Project Manager of PLAYzone, added: “As a tournament organizer, we are happy to partner with companies with such understanding and knowledge about esports. Oddin.gg's data products and integrity-related services are top on the global market, while Tipsport is a household name in the Czech and Slovakian Republic. Together, I am sure we will offer a top tier European tournament.

Martin Ptáčník, Head of Sponsorship and Events Department at Tipsport, stated: "The partnership of such significant entities is proof of the strength and attractiveness of the Czech market, and it brings a new quality to the world of Counter Strike 2.
