Earlier this year, PSG signed a partnership with Chinese esports organization LGD, which subsequently rebranded its Dota 2 squad to PSG.LGD. Monster Energy specifically has now become the first partner of the PSG.LGD Gaming Dota 2 esports team in Asia. The squad won its first Major title at Epicenter XL last April, beating Team Liquid in the grand finals. The team would then go on to win the MDL Changsha Major.

PSG.LGD players will now display the Monster Energy logo on their jerseys throughout upcoming Dota 2 competitions. Signed during the PSG tour in Asia, this agreement also occurs on the eve of the club’s seventh entry into The International—an annual Dota 2 world championship held by Valve that will take place on August 15-25 in Vancouver, Canada.

The competition features a partly-crowdfunded cash prize pool, which at the time of writing has reached over $23M. PSG.LGD features four Chinese players and one Malaysian player, and one of five prominently Chinese teams. Monster Energy also currently sponsors Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses , and Fnatic , among other esports teams.
