The ESL FACEIT Group has announced that it has extended its ongoing partnership with Acer, tapping the technology manufacturer as the exclusive OEM partner for events and tournaments spanning Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.

On the CS2 side of things, the renewed deal will include the Intel Extreme Masters events for 2024 (set in Poland, China, United States, Germany, and somewhere for IEM Fall), as well as the ESL Pro League's 19th and 20th seasons, plus the ESL Challenger tournaments (planned for Sweden, United States, Poland, and a yet to be announced host country). As per Dota 2, it will span the DreamLeague's 21st, 22nd, and 23rd seasons, plus the ESL One Birmingham and Asia tournaments.

Likewise, Acer will continue to be incorporated into broadcasts for this year, as well as offering exclusive fan opportunities at events.
