Rockstar marked its foray into the esports scene in 2020 by sponsoring Counter Strike: Global Offensive team Mousesports. Since then, they have opted to team up with influencers, in addition to sponsorships outside of gaming and esports.
For those unaware, this sponsorship is not the same as Mountain Dew AMP Game Fuel’s recently announced sponsorship of Los Angeles Thieves. Although 100 Thieves owns LA Thieves, the aforesaid sponsorship is specifically for Call of Duty.
Rockstar Energy joins the growing list of new partnerships this year. Since Jan., 100 Thieves have collaborated with OMEN PCs, GrubHub, and AT&T. The organization acquired some of esports’ most impactful sponsorships, including Cash App that helped the team build its gaming compound.
Moreover, they release jerseys sponsored by companies such as Cash App, JBL, and Chipotle. Nadeshot wore a Rockstar-branded 100 Thieves shirt while sporting his gaming set up in the drink’s Super Bowl commercial. In addition to merchandise, the company relies on sponsors for funding its content, with GrubHub recently sponsoring the team’s latest League of Legends show dubbed, “Run it Down” with Moe “Yassuo” Abdalrhman.
