Flipster Makes Esports Debut as Official Crypto Exchange Partner of TALON’s Dota 2 Team
We’ve got big news: Flipster is teaming up with TALON, one of Asia’s most iconic competitive gaming organizations. Known for powerhouse performances across Dota 2, League of Legends, and Valorant, TALON competes in 10 major titles across seven countries — and now, they’re taking the stage with us.
As part of this exclusive partnership, TALON’s Dota 2 team will officially compete under the name Flipster Talon. We’re proud to hold the naming rights for the next year, marking Flipster’s first step into the fast-moving world of global esports.
As TALON’s Official Crypto Exchange Partner, we’re bringing the power of digital assets into the heart of competitive gaming, with a focus on community, creativity, and inclusion.
Where Web3 Meets Esports Culture
"Esports is one of the most exciting frontiers for Web3 culture to thrive,” said Youngsun Shin, Head of Product and Partnerships at Flipster. “Through Flipster Talon, we’re creating new ways to connect with a digital-native generation that values openness, creativity, and inclusion — the same values that drive crypto forward.”
Starting with the Dota 2 roster, we’ll roll out co-created content, interactive campaigns, and digital fan experiences, all designed to make both crypto and competitive gaming more accessible.
A Shared Vision for Open Access
“Flipster’s partnership with TALON is grounded in a shared commitment to access and inclusion,” Youngsun added. “By focusing on free-to-play titles and a player-first approach, Flipster supports the gaming community across the spectrum — from casual fans to pro athletes — much like it empowers both beginner and experienced traders through its platform.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Flipster to the TALON family,” said Sean Zhang, CEO of TALON. “As innovators in their field, Flipster shares our drive to push boundaries and create richer fan experiences. Together, we’re exploring exciting new ways to bring gaming and crypto culture together.”
