After becoming shirt sponsor of Natus Vincere earlier this year, game developer Plarium have taken their collaboration to new heights, integrating iconic esports CS:GO player Oleksandr ‘S1mple’ Kostyliev as a playable character into their RAID: Shadow Legends title.
S1mple joins the RAID: Shadow Legends universe as a playable Legendary Champion. His character will be free for all players and only available for a limited time.
On the partnership, Sergey Bragilevskiy, Director of Growth at Plarium, said: “We are thrilled to have one of the greatest CS:GO players of all time become his own Legendary Champion in RAID shadow legends.
“We spent significant time with S1mple to determine how he envisions himself in the world of RAID and we cannot wait for fans to get a chance to add him to their roster.”
Plarium’s partnership with NAVI was planned and negotiated by Esport, SportQuake’s dedicated esports sponsorship division. Click here to find out more about the sponsorship.
