HyperX Officially Sponsoring Rainbow Six Event in 2018!!
HyperX recently announced their support as the official and exclusive headset provider for two major Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six event: Siege in 2018. This gaming headset manufacturer sponsored The Six Invitational in Montreal, which took place a few weeks ago with a total prize of US $500,000.
However, HyperX is apparently planning to continue supporting the major Rainbow Six event: the next Siege, Six Major Paris, in August, a tournament that has a total prize of up to US $ 350,000.
Ubisoft, as the developer of Rainbow Six: Siege, has recently shown its seriousness in esport.
Rainbow Six: Siege was released in 2015. Beginning in 2018, Ubisoft presented the upcoming three-year plan for Rainbow Six: Siege game and made it popular with sports enthusiasts or esport.
Each year, two seasons with prizes of US $ 275,000 per tournament will be played. In addition, two major tournaments were introduced, Six Major Paris events (Ubisoft headquarters) and Invitational in Montreal.
The new effort to build this game as an esport, has attracted several popular organizations to list Rainbow Six team names. Counter Logic Gaming, Evil Genuises, Team Vitality, FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, and Rogue, are among the organizations that adorn the esport scene in the Rainbow Six competitive scene.
"We are delighted to be working with HyperX for the biggest Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six esports event of the year," said Geoffroy Sardin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing Ubisoft, in an official release of Ubisoft.
"This partnership demonstrates the strong relationship built with HyperX since the inception of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and his interest in other Rainbow Six esports scenes."
HyperX has established itself as one of the most active sponsors in the field of esports. The brand has sponsored previous tournaments (such as ESL One and ELEAGUE), several teams (G2 Esports, Cloud9, Echo Fox, NRG Esports, Team EnVyUs, Team Liquid and SK Gaming), and named NBA star Joel Embiid brand ambassador.
