SINNERS Seeks Partner After Breakthrough CS2 Season

Czech-based Counter-Strike 2 organisation SINNERS Esports has opened negotiations with potential long-term strategic partners ahead of the 2027 competitive season. The club is seeking capital, executive guidance and operational support for its competitive activities.

SINNERS won the BC Game Masters Championship in March and LORGAR RANKINGS Season 1 in Barcelona in April. In June, it claimed the final European qualification place for IEM Cologne, securing its first appearance at a CS2 Major.

The team ranks 34th in the global Valve Regional Standings and 26th in Europe. SINNERS wants to complete a partnership agreement before the 2027 season begins and qualify regularly for future Major tournaments.

Co-founder Moritz Straube described Major qualification as the baseline objective set when the club was founded. The organisation competed in more than 100 officially broadcast matches during 2026 and is seeking a partner that fits its long-term operating plans.

SINNERS also reported growth outside its core Czech and Slovak audiences. From January through November 2026, its combined social media following rose 14.1% to more than 152,000. Its digital channels generated more than 40 million impressions during the period.

The organisation is seeking additional funding after changes to Valve’s Major sticker distribution model reduced revenue for some mid-tier teams. Sticker income reportedly fell from about $600,000 between Major cycles to roughly $120,000, an 80% decline. SINNERS had previously viewed Major qualification as a source of funding for operations and expansion.

Talks with potential partners are ongoing. Co-owner Max Euler is handling commercial inquiries.
