Many organizations operate in the red, relying on sponsorships and cash rewards to stay afloat. <\/p>\n<p>As a strange new industry full of experimentation, innovation, and confusion, esports teams and tournament organizers are a bit susceptible to outside influences. There&#8217;s a reason Saudi Arabia can so easily take over the entirety of esports, paying teams and fans to show up and buying out all the struggling TOs. <\/p>\n<p>This has also led to esports organizations agreeing to many strange collaborations with questionable companies just to get money. This includes the US Army, Immutable and Crypto.com. <\/p>\n<p>The last one? AI. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Esports community concerned about AI infiltration<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>The esports community has never appreciated AI. Even when esports organizations shared seemingly innocent tweets with trending AI art challenges, fans reacted with utter frustration.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn&#8217;t stopped major esports organization Cloud9 from collaborating with JetBrains, an AI-powered coding software development tool. Together, JetBrains and Cloud9 will \u201cenhance cultural relevance\u201d in the esports ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p>This includes JetBrains hosting a hackathon and creating content for Cloud9, detailing how AI-based tools help operations in League of Legends, VALORANT, Rainbow Six Siege X, and Call of Duty. I imagine it will go horribly, but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see how esports fans react to AI infiltrating these games in 2026.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Cloud9, we are driven by a simple but powerful purpose: to inspire and connect gamers around the world,\u201d said Jonathan Tran, President of Cloud9. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just another sponsorship, it\u2019s a working model of how technology and esports can come together to spark innovation, creativity and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cloud9 is no stranger to working with controversial and weird AI-related companies. It previously collaborated with Theta Network to launch a Cloud9-branded AI chatbot called Nimbus. <\/p>\n<p>This trend probably won&#8217;t stop anytime soon. <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gamurs-article-content__affiliate-disclaimer\">\n\t\t<i style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\" data-stringify-type=\"italic\">    The Escapist is supported by our audience.
