Astralis' recent partnership with Audi will not be a long-term sponsorship, at least not yet.

In a statement sent to theScore esports, Audi Denmark's marketing manager Christian Weiglin Thorn explained that the sponsorship is something of a test case for Audi, and that the organizations will partner for the ongoing ELEAGUE Major and DreamHack Masters Las Vegas in February.

"The agreement should be seen as a pilot case for Audi Denmark with respect to exploring the potential of eSports, but basically we see a good match between eSports and Audi's strong digital focus," Weiglin Thorn said.

"The timing is perfect, since Audi has just launched a new car model, Audi Q2, with the campaign #untaggable that addresses the younger audience. We see it as an exciting opportunity to represent a Danish team, currently ranked #1 in the world, and we see it also as a part of our local talent program to support the five Astralis team members."

It is unclear if Audi will renew the sponsorship after the tournament, or if it is set to coincide and end with the #untaggable marketing campaign.

"eSports are an incredibly exciting and rapidly evolving industry, and with this agreement we have the opportunity to get in touch with a younger audience than our normal core."
