Tradeit.gg Sponsors EPIC.LAN’s EPIC41

The UK-based esports organization EPIC.LAN has secured a sponsorship deal with the skin trading platform Tradeit.gg for its upcoming EPIC41 event. Scheduled for February 22–25, 2024, at the Kettering Leisure Village, the tournament focuses on the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene. While the financial specifics of the partnership remain undisclosed, the collaboration is designed to bolster the event's commercial and competitive profile.

The sponsorship agreement directly impacts the tournament's prize structure, with Tradeit.gg providing funding to increase prize pools across all tiers of Counter-Strike 2 competitions. Beyond financial contributions, the partnership includes a variety of fan-facing activations, such as on-site treasure hunts, giveaways, and the establishment of a Tradeit.gg MVP Award to recognize top-performing players.

This event, which has already reached full capacity for participant tickets, serves as a significant gathering for the UK gaming community. The integration of Tradeit.gg into the event ecosystem highlights the ongoing trend of specialized digital marketplaces aligning with grassroots and mid-tier esports tournaments to reach engaged audiences. The event also maintains a charitable component, with professional players participating in the GameBlast 24 campaign to support the UK-based charity Special Effect.
