G2 Esports opened the Esports World Cup 2026 with a 1-0 victory over FURIA.

Around 2023, G2 Esports put roughly €3.2 million into Solana tokens. That position has since grown to an estimated €16 million, representing a roughly 400% increase in value.
This isn’t G2 accidentally stumbling into crypto. The organization has an active sponsorship deal with Betpanda, a crypto-focused betting platform, suggesting the team views digital assets as a structural part of its commercial strategy rather than a one-time experiment.
