Without the partners of the esports player foundation, no systematic promotion of talents would be possible. On behalf of all esporters in Germany, we thank:
DB InfraGO AG is shaping the future of German railway infrastructure. Since 1 January 2024, we have been pooling the strengths of DB Netz AG and DB Station&Service AG in an infrastructure company geared towards the common good. With over 61,000 employees*, we are creating the basis for the mobility of today and tomorrow. Our mission: to jointly create an efficient rail network and attractive railway stations from a single source that inspire across the board.
Techniker Krankenkasse is the official health partner of the esports player foundation and thus supports the promotion of players in one of the most important areas for a successful and long-term career. As a pioneer in its industry, Techniker Krankenkasse underlines its deep commitment to German Esports.
DKB is involved as an enabling partner and focuses on talent development: Together with DKB, we have created the free agent team “DKB Diamonds” and the associated academy team “DKB Diamonds RAW”. The Diamonds enable talented players to establish themselves in the scene and draw attention to their skills. The teams actively participate in the Strauss Prime League.
CosmosDirekt supports the promotion of talents and professionals as an enabling partner. At the same time, individual insurance packages are put together for all those supported so that they can concentrate on their careers with a clear head. Cover at all levels releases creative forces and energy.
Our talents depend on a well-functioning set-up. Thanks to Xantaro, we have been able to work on constantly improving the technical playing conditions of our talents since 2023. From virtualization, infrastructure backup and control to cloud-based centralized services, orchestration and network systems automation, Xantaro excels. As a node operator, Xantaro is one of the most advanced technical providers. In Frankfurt, they have one of the most advanced network labs in the world. Many connections from Germany and Europe converge there. Together with Xantaro, we will get to know the professions around the technical nature of networks better and understand what is actually necessary for our talents to be able to play globally networked.
Deutsche Telekom is actively developing esports and gaming in Germany. The company already provides support in the form of network quality, technological expertise and innovative services. Together with the esports player foundation, it is now also creating the best framework conditions for the development of esports talent. The Equal Esports Initiative, founded in 2021, is intended to sustainably advance equality, diversity and thus also inclusion in Esports. Among other things, the initiative enables the promotion of female and non-binary players through epf and the annual Equal Esports Festival.
At the same time, Telekom wants to educate about the responsible use of digital sports. Young, talented players are to be taught values such as teamwork, fair play and a willingness to perform. In addition, parent workshops are held to promote understanding of Esports and gaming.
