As part of the sponsorship, Skrill’s logo will feature on team shirts and pitch-side throughout the stages of the competition. Skrill is also the official payment partner for the global tournament, used for team fees and the merchandise website.
Founded in 2013, F5WC is an annual global tournament for all amateur players as the only global competition of its kind.
Just a week ago Skrill informed that it has also become the sponsor of international esports team QLASH.
