ROUNDS and Esplay begin partnership; events to start rolling out in November

The partnership will see the matchmaking platform involve ROUNDS in its Finnish operations.

Through this collaboration, ROUNDS and Esplay Suomi, the Finnish operations of matchmaking platfrom Esplay, will be joining forces to organize numerous events and competitions starting from the launch of Esplay in Finland later this week. CS2 players can join ROUNDS’s own Space and take part in the monthly ladder, where the top 10 players with the most games played will be rewarded with an exclusive ROUNDS box and skin prizes. In addition, there will be a weekly Esplay x ROUNDS 1v1 tournament, giving players the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete in a fun, community-driven atmosphere.

Esplay is a third-party Counter-Strike 2 matchmaking platform, where players get to queue up with their local nordic communities for verified matches, competitive play and exclusive rewards. The biggest selling point of Esplay is its ID verification, giving the players an additional level of certainty about playing against fair and verified opponents each and every match. On top of that Esplay is protected by Akros Anti-Cheat, and provides Spaces and Ladders, just like these collaboration ones with ROUNDS!

So, to recap; ROUNDS is onboard Esplay Suomi from the get-go, ensuring verified matches, and providing competitive opportunities with skin drops as well as real-life ROUNDS-related prizes. CS2 has never gone greener than this.

Esplay Suomi will open on the 15th of November 2025. More info will be shared on our socials closer to launch. Happy fragging!
Update: you can now register for Esplay Suomi from esplay.com/rounds!
