Riot Games' major North American League of Legends championship, the LCS, has formed a multi-year agreement with Turtle Beach's German peripherals brand.
ROCCAT will provide mice and keyboards for the LCS Arena as well as the café, the LCS Arcade. The facilities will now include ROCCAT's Vulcan keyboards, Burst gaming mice, and Elo series headsets, amongst other items.
“Being able to work with a brand that exhibits the same level of passion and focus toward their customers as we do with our players and fans is something special.
We’ve seen first-hand the quality of ROCCAT’s lineup and know their products are designed for serious PC gamers. We can’t wait to get started creating and delivering rich experiences together for years to come.”
Matt Archambault, Head of Partnerships for NA and OCE Esports at Riot Games
As well as providing peripherals, ROCCAT will run fanart sweepstakes in which fans can create LCS-themed designs. Winners will have their creations implemented onto ROCCAT mice and keyboards, which will be on display in the LCS Arena.
In addition, ROCCAT will feature on the LCS broadcasts, with ROCCAT's 'Flip the Switch' replays; these will be first used during the Mid-Season Showdown Finals Weekend on April 10-11.
“This is a great moment for ROCCAT. I started the brand because I wanted to create better-performing PC accessories that enabled PC gamers to win more, and because I knew these gamers would create a passionate community of fans.
League of Legends players and fans are some of the most ardent in all of gaming, and the opportunity to integrate and introduce the ROCCAT brand to millions of League of Legends fans, and to collaborate and meaningfully deepen their connection to the game they love is an honour and a privilege.”
René Korte - ROCCAT Founder and General Manager of PC Products at Turtle Beach
The peripherals brand is just the latest addition to the LCS partners, joining Grubhub, Mastercard, and Bud Light.
