Go Mate Partners with Challengermode to Host Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Launch Day Esports Tournaments
Natural smart drinks company Go Mate has partnered with international esports platform Challengermode for a series of launch day esports tournaments for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This partnership builds on the existing work that Challengermode has done with Go Mate to promote its healthy energy drink alternatives to an international audience of grassroots esports competitors.
Coinciding with the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Go Mate will officially be launching its line of all-natural smart drinks aimed at the gaming and esports community. Starting the day after the game drops, aspiring esports hopefuls around the world will be able to compete in Warzone 2.0 for real money prizes provided by Go Mate. Weekly duos tournaments will run from November 16th onwards – with Go Mate being the first brand to provide Warzone 2.0 tournament gameplay on the Challengermode platform.
Healthy All-Natural Smart Drink for Gamers
Go Mate is a 100% natural no-added sugar drinks company that allows consumers sustained energy and mental focus to boost in-game performance, as well as to help them wind down and recharge. Rich in antioxidants and nutrients, Go Mate’s “Awake” and “Relax” drinks are designed to improve cognition and physical performance. Above all, Go Mate aims to reshape how the esports space connects with the drinks industry.
Phil Hubner, CBDO of Challengermode said: “We are incredibly excited to be working with Go Mate on the first Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 tournament on the Challengermode platform. We see Go Mate’s work in encouraging healthy drinks alternatives and healthy approaches to play in the esports space as a positive for players. We think there is huge potential for Go Mate to redefine how players approach drinks that level up their gameplay in a healthier way, and we are pleased that we have been able to help them in reaching the competitive gaming audience at large in an authentic way.”
Frank Mertens, Co-Founder of Go Mate Drinks: “Challengermode has been super helpful for us to connect with audiences in the esports space in a way that resonates with them. We are glad to be working with them to spread the message of the positive effects that Go Mate drinks provide when it comes to increasing mental performance and clarity, and to encourage a more balanced approach to energy within the gaming community. Partnering with Challengermode on the Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 tournament in conjunction with our own official launch is the perfect time for us to start re-shaping the narrative around energy drinks in the esports world”
Warzone 2.0 launch day esports tournaments mark an expansion in how Go Mate and Challengermode work together, with tournaments and events for League of Legends, Rocket League and Valorant also available on the platform via Go Mate’s dedicated Space. This partnership builds on previous work that Go Mate has done in the esports scene with Danish team Astralis and Argentinian team KRU earlier in 2022.
Seasoned esports professional joins fast-betting content provider, bringing over 20 years of trading and product experience to elevate its offering
BETER, an award-winning provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has appointed former SIS senior executive Adam Conway as its new General Manager of Esports Business Division, significantly strengthening the company’s position in the market.
Conway is a highly accomplished manager in the betting industry, with more than 20 years of experience in overseeing and launching successful product portfolios.
Adam joins BETER following a ten-year tenure at SIS, where he held various positions—from Head of Trading to Global Head of Esports and Competitive Gaming. Before SIS, he held roles at several companies, including Head of Trading at betting powerhouse Ladbrokes.
As Esports General Manager at BETER, Adam will be responsible for strengthening the provider’s leadership in the fast-betting domain, as well as developing and expanding the number of in-house events for the company’s flagship ESportsBattle tournaments, which currently feature disciplines such as eFootball, eBasketball, and eHockey.
Conway will spearhead the development of new disciplines—eCricket and eTennis are set to launch soon—and focus on enhancing relationships with existing clients while establishing new partnerships.
Adam will lead a team of over 200 specialists and 500 professional athletes, delivering more than 500,000 esports events annually across four countries. He will also work closely with key industry bodies, including the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA).
Gal Ehrlich, CEO at BETER, said: “Adam’s background in esports is unmatched, and we are thrilled to have him on board as we continue to enhance our esports offering, especially our flagship ESportsBattle tournaments.
“We’re already the go-to provider for fast-betting content, data, and live streaming in esports and sports. With Adam as our Esports General Manager, we’re confident we’ll strengthen that leadership and further distance ourselves from the competition.
“We’re excited to welcome Adam and look forward to the significant value his expertise will bring to our partners worldwide.”
Adam Conway, Esports General Manager at BETER, added: “It’s an honour to join BETER and contribute my extensive experience in trading and product development to such a pioneering company.
“BETER is the undisputed market leader, and I’m excited to help ensure it remains at the forefront—delivering exceptional products to operator partners and bettors alike.”

StarLadder today announced that it will host the second Counter-Strike 2 Major of 2025 in Budapest, Hungary, culminating in a four-day Playoff stage inside the MVM Dome – one of the largest and most advanced esports venues in Europe, and one of the biggest CS2 Major venues to date.

From December 11 to 14, the tournament moves to the MVM Dome for the playoffs. With 20,000 seats and cutting-edge production capabilities, the Dome will deliver a stadium-scale experience – featuring record-breaking LED setups, immersive lighting, and arena-wide special effects crafted to elevate the show for every fan on site. Set against the backdrop of Budapest’s iconic pre-Christmas charm, the Major will offer not just world-class esports, but also a chance for fans to experience one of Europe’s most vibrant cities during its most magical season.
“ Hosting another Major is an incredible honor, and we’re determined to make it unforgettable,” said Roman Romantsov, CEO of StarLadder. “Budapest gives us the perfect stage to push the boundaries of what a live CS2 event can look and feel like. From day one to the Grand Finals, we’re building something that fans – both in the arena and watching around the world – will remember. We invite every Counter-Strike fan to be part of this iconic moment with us.”
