NODWIN Gaming has entered into a strategic partnership with Runestone, a Prague-based esports technology company, to introduce real-time data tools and integrity monitoring across its global tournament lineup. The collaboration is launching with the NODWIN Clutch Series, a prominent Tier 2 Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) event.
The latest edition of the NODWIN Clutch Series 5 saw BIG emerge victorious in a dramatic 2-1 grand final against ECSTATIC, securing the $50,000 prize. This partnership aims to bolster tournament integrity and enhance fan engagement through advanced data-driven solutions.
Teemu Koski, Chief Business Officer at NODWIN and Global Head of Data Monetization, stated, “We’re excited to partner with Runestone as we continue expanding our competitive gaming portfolio across high-growth regions and titles. Integrity and transparency are fundamental to sustainable esports ecosystems, especially in Tier 2 competition where the next generation of talent emerges. Runestone’s expertise in real-time data and integrity infrastructure complements our experience in building scalable esports IPs and competitive ecosystems. Together, we’re able to strengthen tournament operations while unlocking richer engagement experiences for fans.”
Michael Schwartz, Head of Partnerships at Runestone, shared his enthusiasm: “NODWIN Gaming has built one of the most dynamic esports ecosystems across emerging markets, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with a partner that shares our focus on building sustainable competitive ecosystems. By combining NODWIN’s experience in operating global esports IPs with Runestone’s integrity and engagement infrastructure, we can support tournaments with greater transparency, deeper fan interaction, and scalable operational tools.”
The partnership is designed to set a new standard for fairness and fan engagement in esports. With the NODWIN Clutch Series serving as the initial platform, both companies plan to extend this collaboration to new titles, regions, and formats in the near future.
