From playing games alone, with friends, watching streams or championship spectating - Dr Pepper wants to share in the fun of gaming!” Blaise D’Sylva, VP Media & Entertainment Dr Pepper





This is Dr Pepper's first major esports team sponsorship and TSM is ecstatic to be representing the brand across all it's competitive teams through dedicated and original content.





“I remember Dr Pepper’s part in esports while I competed in MLG back in Seasons 1 & 2 - it was really cool to see Dr Pepper given away to fans everywhere. It’s super exciting to have someone that was there at the start of esports come back to the scene through sponsoring TSM. It’s a big honor for us to be able to represent such a large company and I’m really looking forward towards growing both our brands together!”
