ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) has announced that AutoFull, a global brand known for its ergonomic gaming chairs, will be the official chair partner for the ESL Pro Tour (EPT).
The two-year partnership will extend to all CS2 EPT events in 2026 and 2027, including the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), ESL Pro League, and ESL Challenger League.
“We are incredibly proud to join forces with ESL FACEIT Group for the 2026 and 2027 seasons,” said Anna DING, the Founder of AutoFull. “Counter-Strike demands the highest level of focus and physical endurance. By becoming the Official Exclusive Chair Partner for the ESL Pro Tour, we are not just supplying equipment, we are supporting the longevity and peak performance of the world’s most elite athletes while engaging directly with fans through immersive on-site activations.”
This announcement comes after AutoFull had partnered with one of the best CS2 players in the world, Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, who currently plays for Team Falcons, last year.
The brand said in a release that its partnership with the EPT showcases its commitment to CS2.
As a part of this tie-up, AutoFull will be providing chairs to players in on-ground events. Furthermore, it will be integrated into the broadcast and have on-site activations.
Attendees at on-ground EPT events will be able to visit an official AutoFull booth to test the chairs firsthand.
“Player performance and comfort are paramount to the integrity of professional play. Partnering with AutoFull as our Official Exclusive Chair Partner ensures that our competitors are supported by world-class ergonomics at every level of the ESL Pro Tour,” said Daniel Mauritz, SVP Brand Partnership at EFG. “From the intensity of the Pro League to the legendary stages of IEM, AutoFull’s presence will be a cornerstone of the player experience.”
The next tournament in the EPT, is the Challenger Season 51 – Cup #4 from April 22 to May 3. This tournament forms the bottom layer for the EPT, allowing new and emerging teams to rack up VRS points.
The upcoming major tournament, on the other hand, is the IEM Atlanta 2026 from May 15 to 17. This tournament has a prize pool of $300,000. What makes it an exciting affair though, is that 16 teams, including some of the best in CS2 are set to compete. This includes the likes of Team Vitality, FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, and Astralis.
Here, fans will likely be able to experience the AutoFull booth at an ESL event for the first time.
