PGE sponsors Polish Esports League

PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna has become the title sponsor of the Championship Division of the Polish Esports League (PLE). Thus, the largest Polish company in the power sector strengthened its position in the developing esports industry.

“Esport is a form of competition that is attracting more and more attention. PGE is open to new cooperation opportunities and adapts its sponsorship activities to the changing market. The PLE has an established position in the esports market. Involvement in sponsoring the Championship Division opens PGE to modern virtual solutions, which is in line with the assumptions of the new PGE Group Strategy,” Wojciech Dąbrowski, President of the Management Board of PGE, said.

“Acquiring such a dynamic sponsor as PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, which has been supporting the development of sport for years, is a turning point for Polish esports games and for the PLE itself. We are convinced that together we will implement the strategic assumptions of the Polish Esports League and professionalize Polish esport on every level,” Paweł Kowalczyk, president of the board of the PLE, said.

Esports competition teaches strategic thinking, cooperation, communication, and problem-solving under time pressure, hence its importance for the development of the young generation. Under the agreement, PGE is the title sponsor of the Championship Division of the PLE, which will operate under the name of the PGE Championship Division of the Polish Esports League in the spring and autumn season of 2021. Eight teams compete in the competition and the platform is one of the leading tactical computer games, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
