GRID Acquires Bayes Esports Intellectual Property Assets

GRID, a prominent esports gaming data and betting technology platform, has acquired the intellectual property assets of Berlin-based Bayes Esports. This strategic acquisition follows the formal insolvency and liquidation proceedings of Bayes Esports, which were initiated in May 2025 after a German court determined the company was both illiquid and over-indebted. The financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed.

The acquisition allows GRID to integrate a decade’s worth of Bayes Esports’ technological developments into its own infrastructure. Specifically, the assets include live data trading solutions, predictive modeling software, and various fan engagement tools. These components will be incorporated into the existing GRID Data Platform to enhance the company’s service offerings for rights holders and further its influence within the esports betting sector.

This move strengthens GRID’s position as a central data provider for major titles, including League of Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and PUBG, while reinforcing its partnerships within the Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 ecosystems. By absorbing these assets, GRID aims to accelerate its ability to generate value for stakeholders and shape the future of the esports betting industry. The transaction marks a significant consolidation of data technology within the competitive gaming market, following the exit of a key industry player.
