Envy Signs Botez Sisters

The news came on Monday afternoon, December 21, with the big reveal from both Envy and the Botez sisters. Envy Gaming will work with them to create unique content and integrate them both into current projects. BotezLive will also help with EnvyUS, a recent membership program providing special Team Envy content for fans.

Although chess isn’t as popular as normal video games among the community, it’s certainly grown. Some even speculate that chess may be considered an esport as content creators and streamers quickly grew the game in 2020.

“We want to show people who don’t play chess that it is an exciting game with a vibrant scene, and we loved that Envy approached us about building bridges between a competitive environment like chess and the world of esports, music, pop culture, you name it.” said Alexandra Botez. “That future is what we love about being part of Envy,”

It’s a HUGE moment in any streamer’s career to get signed by an org. Couldn’t be happier to be a part of @Envy, a team that has gone above and beyond to welcome us into the family ❤️pic.twitter.com/lTAM5UJ1Ln

Content Creator Network

BotezLive consists of the two Botez sisters who are variety streamers that share chess tips, challenges, and content on Twitch and YouTube. Now with the new partnership, they also plan to launch a content creator network and ambassador program. These initiatives look to expand and grow different gaming personalities in 2021

The two made huge accomplishments in recent years, even being one of the top female Twitch streamers in 2020. In fact, Alexandra Botez is one of few women to hit the Woman FIDE Master rank in chess. She even grew diversity initiatives by becoming the first female president of the Stanford University Chess Club.

Adding the two chess prodigies to the Envy Gaming roster is a strong move to grow the brand’s streamer roster. Since entering the betting market with ThriveFantasy and winning the RLCS X Winter Split, Team Envy continues to make esports news headlines. Currently, BotezLive boasts over 400 thousand followers on Twitch and nearly 200 thousand on YouTube. Fans can find the now-Envy signed Botez sisters on Twitch or YouTube. On Wednesday, December 23, the two streamers will takeover Envy’s social media to celebrate.
