It is a wild day when a game completely unrelated to another video game ends up sponsoring that game. World of Warcraft China (WoW) has recently sponsored two ******** Dota 2 organizations going into The International 2024. These sponsorships are happening despite Valve’s ban on in-game ads during the massive tournament.

It was recently announced that World of Warcraft China was going to sponsor G2xiG and Xtreme Gaming’s Dota 2 team going into The International 2024. This huge esports event is considered the biggest Dota 2 competitive tournament in the world, happening once a year.

Seems pretty cool that a video game completely unrelated to Dota 2 would sponsor them, right? Well, it would seem as if the sponsorship may be for nothing, as Valve has made it incredibly clear that no in-game ads will be allowed during the extent of The International 2024 event.

With this ban on in-game ads, it would seem as if the WoW sponsor holds very little weight going into the Dota 2 event. Will the game pull out from its sponsorships? Or do they have a marketing strategy up their sleeves that no one will expect?

The sponsorship plan was originally to put two popular WoW character’s names on the jerseys of each team.
