SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
Hyundai and Italian soccer club Atletico Madrid signed a new partnership in which the South Korean car manufacturer will sponsor the La Liga club, replacing Alfa Romeo as the team's automotive partner. For the deal’s duration, which will run until 2021, the company will provide cars for the club, while their logo will be placed on the team’s shirt sleeves. The agreement comes two days after Hyundai signed a similar partnership with English Premier League club Chelsea. Comcast and Activision partnered to provide gamers with a chance to play the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Multiplayer before its official release on October 12.

The NBA 2K League, which began its inaugural season on May 1, has set a deadline of June 29 for NBA teams looking to participate in the league’s 2019 season. There are 30 teams overall and currently, 17 are participating, Esports Insider reported. The league’s first 17 teams have paid $750,000 and committed to a three-year participation. No further details on whether the buy-in will be larger going into the second season, according to the report.
