San Diego, CA – June 16, 2017 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory company Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR) today announced a significant step to increase its presence in global esports by signing a partnership with Splyce to be the official audio partner for their console esports teams.

Splyce’s Call of Duty team will be competing in the Call of Duty World League Anaheim Open held at the Anaheim Convention Center starting today through Sunday June 18, 2017. The tournament will feature hundreds amateur and pro teams from around the world competing head-to-head in Call of Duty Infinite Warfare on PlayStation®4 for a prize pool of $200,000.
