RuHub acquires Russian broadcast rights for FLASHPOINT

ESforce Holding company RuHub has acquired the Russian broadcasting rights to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league FLASHPOINT.

The inaugural season of the team-owned league will kick off in March 13th at the company’s studio in Los Angeles.

FLASHPOINT will broadcast action on both Twitch and YouTube, though this is the first instance of a media rights deal to be announced for the league. RuHub will broadcast the league on its Twitch channel.

Following concerns surrounding the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, FLASHPOINT cancelled plans to host the playoffs in Stockholm and opted to host the entirety of the competition in its Los Angeles studio.
