Vilpe continues its long-term cooperation with Elisa Esports and will again participate in the Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 event. Vilpe’s commitment to esports and supporting young talents underlines the company’s appreciation for both traditional and electronic sports.
Vilpe is expanding its operations in Vantaa and is looking for young professionals to strengthen its team. The recruitment openings at the end of 2024 offer excellent opportunities for youngsters studying or already working in the construction industry.
“We have been working with Elisa Esports for several years now, and we are on an upward trajectory. Esports are important to us at VILPE. With Elisa Esports, we have been able to bring this aspect to the target groups that are important to us, and we have been able to support the domestic esports ecosystem. The cooperation has brought measurable results on both sides. When we started building a new office in Vantaa, it was natural for us to deepen our cooperation further. An interesting new feature has been the Dota 2 Community Bash organised by Elisa Esports and of course we are again heavily involved in Counter-Strike at the Elisa Masters Espoo event,” comments Tuomas Saikkonen, CEO of VILPE.
Vilpe aims to create brand awareness, especially among young people who are studying or already working in the construction industry. The cooperation with Elisa Esports provides Vilpe with a unique opportunity to reach young people and make their product and value visible in the esports world. This strategy strengthens Vilpe’s position as an innovative employer that attracts young talents.
Vilpe supports domestic esports, as the company wants to ensure that esports get the attention they deserve. The cooperation between Vilpe and Elisa Esports is an example of how a traditional industrial company can embrace new trends and support Finnish sports in a versatile way.
The cooperation between Vilpe and Elisa Esports has brought many successes, and we are looking forward to what the future holds. Olli-Pekka Villa, Head of Elisa Esports, comments: “Our cooperation has proven to be very successful and we are confident that the upcoming Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 event will be a great success.”

Elisa Masters Espoo has grown to become the number one Finnish esports event and has been a great success in Finland and around the world. The event will be held for the third time at Espoo Metro Arena on 16–20 October 2024 and is expected to be even more competitive this year. Ticket sales start on 29 May at 11:00 CEST.
Elisa Masters Espoo 2024, Finland’s largest esports arena event, is an international tournament organised in cooperation with the City of Espoo. Last year’s second edition of the Elisa Masters was a huge success, with over 8,000 spectators on site and 33 million unique pairs of eyes watching from around the world.
Best event of the year becoming an even better experience
The Elisa Masters Espoo has earned its place among the major international tournaments and was nominated at the HLTV Awards as the best Counter-Strike event of the year. In Finland, the Elisa Masters Espoo was voted B2C Event of the Year at the Sponsorointi & Tapahtumat Awards in March.
The Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 starts with the studio phase on 16–17 October, followed by the exciting arena phase at Espoo Metro Arena on 18–20 October. A total of eight teams will compete in the tournament. In addition to B8, the team from Ukraine that won the Elisa Invitational Spring 2024, the tournament will see the winner of the Elisa Esports eSM 2024 national championships in August, the winner of the Elisa Invitational Fall 2024 in September, and five world-class invited teams. The other teams participating in the event will be announced in the coming months. The prize pool for the event is $200,000. Ticket sales will start on 29 May at 11 CEST. This year, all ticket types for the Friday will be available for the same price of €19. In addition, instead of having three-day tickets, there will two-day tickets for the Saturday and Sunday. The age limit for the event is 16, or 13 if accompanied by a guardian.
“This year’s event is expected to be even tougher than before. Building on our previous successes, we’re making the Elisa Masters even more exciting. We’re also making it easier for people to participate by offering tickets for the Friday at a lower price. The event will take place during the autumn holiday week, so this is a great option for families to spend the autumn holiday week together, taking the age limit into account”, says Mika Lepistö, Director of New Business Development and Partnerships at Elisa.
“Gaming is a huge phenomenon – it’s now the largest entertainment industry in the world. As a city, we wanted to rise to the challenge, and in Espoo, we have been investing in developing gaming startups, important education for children and young people in gaming, and esports. The Elisa Masters Espoo partnership is part of this, giving us a way to reach out to the gamer community in Espoo, in Finland, and internationally. I warmly welcome Espoo residents and visitors to discover esports and watch this exciting tournament. I can guarantee there will be exciting new experiences – even for people who aren’t gamers”, comments Mervi Heinaro, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, Sports and Culture at the City of Espoo.
Esports growing in popularity
Esports is growing in popularity all the time. Elisa has had an esports business since 2017, and the number of spectators at events organised by Elisa has grown sharply over the last few years.
“Elisa’s aim is to develop expertise in the field and to professionalise esports. We work with schools to enable the esports industry and education. We want to be present where young people are and to develop a digital entertainment culture.
