The ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) is looking to strengthen its position as the global leader in the esports entertainment space, and has done so by acquiring the esports technology company, Vindex.

As revealed in a blog post, we're told that this deal has been completed in the hopes of building a stronger foundation to enable EFG to "unite and engage more players, fans and creators around the esports and video games they love and brings new levels of scale to experiences in wider geographies."

"The combination with Vindex brings together the power of our brands with a new scale in infrastructure and production capabilities," said EFG's CEO Craig Levine. "As one, this will help serve new communities of gamers and accelerate gaming culture globally."

The deal, of which financial details are yet to be disclosed, also intends to "meet the evolving needs of the video games industry and the growing global gamer audience", all by bringing expertise to DreamHack events, deepening broadcast offerings, and strengthening EFG's geographic footprint.
