  • G2 will field a football team in the newly announced Kings League Germany, marking the organisation’s first entry into traditional sports, a major milestone for the club. The team is set to compete in the Kings World Cup Qualifiers in Germany ahead of the Kings World Cup in June.
  • 2025 is G2’s 10 year anniversary and as the organisation looks ahead to the future, a key focus area is blurring the lines between esports and traditional sports in a way that makes sense for its young community.
  • Kings League and G2 have a shared vision of entertainment, innovation, and fan engagement, blending traditional sports, esports, and entertainment in a way that appeals to multigenerational audiences.
  • G2 is the first esports team to join Kings League in Europe.
  • The strategic move will harness digital innovation, shaping a future where sports and esports coexist and thrive together.
  • The move is an expansion of G2’s competitive DNA, rather than a shift away from esports.

G2, one of the world’s leading esports and entertainment brands, has announced it will be fielding a football team (G2 FC) in the new German division of Kings League, a 7-a-side global football league, founded in 2022 by Gerard Piqué, former professional player for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, in collaboration with other football personalities and streamers.

Kings League features teams from around the world, with domestic leagues in Spain, Americas, Brazil, Italy, France, and the newly announced German league. On April 12, Kings League Germany will launch with a qualification series for the Kings World Cup, where 8 teams will compete for one of 2 slots to represent Germany in the upcoming World Cup in France. On March 25th, Kings League Germany was announced, with Bastian Schweinsteiger as President, unveiling 6 teams in the league, with a surprise 7th and 8th team. G2 can now confirm today, it’s one of the surprise teams to join the league.

G2 FC is based in Berlin, with 2 Berliner footballers appointed as Team Manager and Coach. Ron Stublla, with a background in Sports Management and played in the Youth Bundesliga, joins as Team Manager alongside new Coach, Malik Hadziavdic, who was a member of the German National Futsal team and played for FC Liria Berlin in the Futsal Bundesliga. The team recently completed tryouts with footballers at the Adidas SPORTS BASE BERLIN, and a full roster reveal is coming soon.

Kings League leverages streaming to maximize its reach, allowing each club to broadcast games directly to their fans through dedicated co-streams. G2 has partnered with German influencers Reeze and Rumathra as their content creator duo, and the pair will co-stream all G2 FC games on Twitch.

G2 is one of the most successful esports organisations in the world, with 40 million fans globally and over 100 first-place finishes across all teams. G2 is known for its consistent competitive success, with the most-awarded League of Legends team in Europe, the best VALORANT team in America, one of the best Counter Strike teams, and the most successful women’s esports teams in the world. G2 is also the most entertaining brand in esports, its raw, unfiltered approach to content and community with a key focus on narrative building and storytelling has enabled the organisation to rise above its competitors, setting the bar high for the industry.

2025 is G2’s 10 year anniversary, and over the past decade, it has grown into a defiant powerhouse in esports, with successful teams across the globe and long-standing partnerships with mainstream global brands including Mastercard, Red Bull, Ralph Lauren, Herman Miller, Spotify, and Oakley. As G2 looks ahead to the future with plans to continue and diversify its expansion, entry into traditional sports is a key exciting pillar for the organisation. Kings League is a completely new way to experience football, combining sport, entertainment and digital innovation, and G2 is ready to take on this challenge to bring something fresh and fun to the next generation of sports fans.

Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 comments: “When G2 was created 10 years ago, the dream was to build the ‘Real Madrid of esports’. We wanted to be known as a disruptive brand that’s not only competitively successful, but also has a great personality that knows how to entertain and captivate our fans through storytelling and community building. Now, 10 years later, we are the ‘Real Madrid of esports’, so it’s time for us to go one step further and become the ‘G2 of sports’. Esports has a unique way of connecting with and engaging our passionate fanbase and now it’s our opportunity to show traditional sports how we do things, the G2 way.”

G2 is the first esports organisation to enter Kings League in Europe, and showcases G2’s commitment to shaping its future by blurring the lines between esports and traditional sports, and bringing expert knowledge of new-age digital communities to the next generation of sports fans.

Betfred Launches Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System to Strengthen Football Betting Offering

Published

on

Checkd Dev, part of the award-winning Checkd Group and a leading iGaming technology provider, has signed a multi-year agreement to supply its Automated Betting System (ABS) to UK bookmaker Betfred, introducing new levels of efficiency and engagement to pre-match football accumulator betting.

Through the partnership, Betfred has launched a suite of pre-configured, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s ABS technology and seamlessly integrated with Betfred’s proprietary pricing.

The solution enhances the customer betting journey while equipping Betfred’s trading team with a robust backend platform to streamline bet creation, management, and settlement. Customers benefit from football bets that are dynamically assigned probabilities based on historic form, providing greater insight and confidence in their selections.

The launch of ABS reinforces Betfred’s reputation as an industry innovator, offering customers smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.

Checkd Dev has refined its ABS user interface through deployments with multiple tier-one operators. Betfred has further strengthened the proposition by integrating its competitive Acca Flex bonus offer, available from launch. Customers can access additional bonuses if their bet wins, while also benefiting from a money-back guarantee if a single leg loses.

Since its introduction two years ago, Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved from a statistics-driven tool to increase operator conversion rates into a comprehensive system designed to meet the growing demand for automated, pre-configured betting products, powered by the company’s proprietary BRUNO platform.

This agreement extends Checkd Dev’s recent growth trajectory, following high-profile partnerships with William Hill on a fully automated, stats-powered Bet Builder, and a three-year deal with OpenBet to launch a new Trending BetBuilder to market.

Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, commented: “We are delighted to be working with fellow Mancunians Betfred on our Trending Bets product. More and more major bookmakers are recognising the tangible value of our automated betting solutions, and it is especially gratifying to collaborate with a local partner on this launch.”

Mark Hartley, Head of Product at Betfred, added: “Since moving onto our propriety platform, we’ve been able to bring new ideas to market much faster. This partnership with Checkd Dev is a great example, helping us solve a simple problem for football fans: researching and building an accumulator can sometimes feel like hard work!

“With one-click, data-driven selections we’ve made the process quicker and easier, while still giving customers the choice and depth they want. Accas are already one of our most compelling propositions, thanks to our popular promotion Acca Flex, and this launch makes them even more engaging. We’re also looking forward to exploring further opportunities to work with Checkd Dev in the future.”
