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.
