Razer has announced a brand new esports partnership this week as they will be teaming up with both Envy Gaming and OpTic Gaming. The finer details of the deal weren’t revealed, but the broad strokes to this one are that it will be a multi-year partnership that will see sponsorship across both groups and their league counterparts in specific esports leagues. Razer’s brand will be on their jerseys, they’ll be playing with company products, more than likely sitting in new branded gaming chairs, and more. Which Razer will benefit from in exposure on live broadcasts and in-person events where they’ll have a foothold in both team’s booths. As well as content integrations, sponsorship of creator-led streams, exclusive product drops, creator appearances at RazerStore locations, and more. We have quotes from all the parties involved below from today’s announcement as we wait to see what the first even will be with the new branding.

“Bringing together innovators and industry leaders is core to what we believe will propel esports and gaming further into mainstream culture and entertainment,” said Adam Rymer, CEO at Envy. “Adding a global leader of Razer’s caliber across all Envy and OpTic teams and creators gives great payoff to the culture and audience cultivation we’re building today and for the future.”
