A couple days after it renewed Intel, ESL FaceIt Group named Acer as its official OEM Partner across its Counter-Strike esports portfolio.
Acer’s Predator Gaming Brand will sponsor ESL FaceIt Group events including the ESL Pro Tour and other flagship tournaments, pro circuits, and amateur scenes.
“Our partnership with Acer arms top Counter-Strike competitors with the industry-leading technology they need to play at their best,” said Bastian Veiser, director of partner management at EFG, in a statement. “This comprehensive collaboration provides year-round access to top-of-the-line gear that will empower not only the pinnacle of competition, but also rising talent, for years to come.”
EFG and Acer’s collaboration extends to several tiers of competitive play, including ESL Challenger League, ESL Pro League, and Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) tournaments.
EFG and Acer will celebrate the deal during IEM Katowice on February 7-9, with a hands-on, immersive activation alongside a product announcement at one of the biggest Counter-Strike 2 events of the year. Beyond IEM Katowice, Predator gaming products will also be featured at both online and offline EFG competitions and on-broadcast in multiple languages.
“The esports audience is at the heart of our Predator product line, and EFG offers unprecedented access to these dedicated fans through its premier events, both in-person and online,” said Vincent Lin, associate vice president global product marketing and planning at Acer, in a statement. “Counter-Strike esports presents a unique opportunity to connect with one of the longest-standing competitive titles and a vast fan base seeking the precision, intensity, and performance that our Predator gaming technology delivers.”
