San Diego, CA –
April 19, 2018 – Turtle Beach
(NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading worldwide gaming audio brand, today announced a new
partnership with Knicks Gaming as the organization’s official gaming
peripherals partner for the 2018 NBA 2K League season. The partnership will see
Knicks Gaming players using Turtle Beach headsets at the Knicks Gaming training
facility, and the two companies also plan to produce a variety of content highlighting
the fun and challenging aspects of the inaugural season. The first ever NBA 2K
draft took place April 4, 2018 with Knicks Gaming selecting 9th
overall and welcoming Dayvon “GOOFY757” Curry as the first ever member of the
Knicks Gaming organization. League play begins with the tip-off tournament May
1-5 and runs through August 2018. NBA 2K players need every advantage possible
to dominate the competition, and powerful game audio tuned for esports and crystal-clear
team chat are crucial to securing victory. Knicks Gaming players will use
Turtle Beach’s flagship Elite Pro
gaming headsets in all practices and streaming sessions.
“We’re thrilled to be an integral
part of the Knicks Gaming organization during the founding year of the NBA 2K
League,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “Our headsets deliver
a distinct competitive advantage through pinpoint accurate audio and clear team
chat. Having the Knicks Gaming players using Turtle Beach audio equipment to
train with and then dominate in their games will be a joy to watch.”
“Turtle Beach gaming peripherals are unmatched
in their ability to provide a clear advantage for our players, which makes
Turtle Beach the perfect partner for Knicks Gaming,” said Kristin Bernert, general
manager, Knicks Gaming.
