Under the agreement, Esports Charts will grant ESIC access to its data on esports events, as well as collaborate with the integrity organisation to publish periodic reports on data metrics related to integrity and industry risk.
In addition, ESIC and Esports Charts will work together on academic use cases for Esports Charts’ data products.
“This partnership with Esports Charts will allow ESIC to tap into reliable data and stay informed about industry trends relevant to its operations,” said ESIC director of global partnerships Stephen Hanna.
“ESIC is also looking forward to working with Esports Charts to enhance academic prospects in the esports field through data accessibility,” Hanna added.
“The integrity of data, protection against fraud, systematisation of information, market growth, and fair play are the main goals of Esports Charts,” said Esports Charts founder Ivan Danishevskyi. “We are glad to have ESIC as our teammate in these matters, as they share all of these goals. Together, we can elevate esports to unprecedented heights by establishing standards and best practices.”
The new partnership follows ESIC’s announcement of issuing a $10,000 fine to professional Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) team Vitality for evidence of “stream sniping.”
