Parimatch ends Team Spirit partnership
International better and gaming company Parimatch has announced the termination of its partnership with Russian esports organisation Team Spirit amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The partnership, which started in 2019, has been a considerable success, with Team Spirit having won DotA 2 tournament The International 2021 that saw them win the prize of more than US$18 million whilst having Parimatch serve as their Title Sponsor. Parimatch Tech also provides technology solutions to various operators in Russia, which as a result of the decision will now end. Parimatch and Team Spirit most recently had renewed their partnership in January 2022, and a recently released report noted that there had been more than 4 million bets placed on Team Spirit through Parimatch’s platform. Team Spirit, meanwhile, had relocated their headquarters to Belgrade following Russia’s invasion into Ukraine and have since then started moving all of their employees and teams to Belgrade as well.
Australian Grand Prix: Race Predictions
Following the opening two rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, it is clear that for at least the first few rounds of the new season there will be only two teams fighting for wins. With Mercedes having fallen off the pace horribly, only Red Bull and Ferrari are regular favourites for the win. Red Bull clearly have the fastest car on the grid, just as they did for the majority of the 2021 season, but this time they are up against a resurgent Ferrari. After taking a stunning win at the season-opener in Bahrain, Ferrari almost made it two out of two, only to be denied the victory in the dying stages of the Jeddah race. Ferrari had no answer to Red Bull's straight-line speed, but the Scuderia are still a threat for Red Bull given their massive improvement from the last couple of seasons. With Charles Leclerc showing that he is going to push reigning World Champion Max Verstappen right upto the limit for the Drivers' trophy, we are set for a thrilling season ahead with two of the finest drivers of the new generation battling each other out. Ferrari, though, have an invaluable lead in the Constructors' title, and the fact that both Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have finished both races on the podium just showcases the strength of the Scuderia this season.
