The Road to the
eWorld Cup Final Continues in Amsterdam as EA SPORTS
Exclusively Use
Turtle Beach Products for FIFA 18 Competitive Gaming
San Diego, CA –
May 29, 2018 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach
(NASDAQ: HEAR) further reinforces its position of leadership in gaming audio
and esports through its partnership with EA SPORTS™. This partnership with EA SPORTS
sees Turtle Beach as the official headset brand of the EA SPORTS FIFA 18 Global
Series, and further roots Turtle Beach’s continued growth in the competitive
gaming space.
The EA SPORTS
FIFA 18 Global Series is a global ecosystem featuring more competitors and more
tournaments than ever before, and will culminate with the first ever FIFA
eWorld Cup 2018 Grand Final – the pinnacle of the EA SPORTS FIFA 18 Global
Series.
The competition
has already seen its fair share of incredible scenes with 16-year-old British
sensation Donovan “F2TekKz” Hunt rising from obscurity to defeat the odds and
lift the coveted FUT Champions Cup Trophy in Barcelona. And in Manchester when,
so close to Old Trafford where so many historic scenes have been witnessed on
the pitch, Saudi Arabia’s Falcon MSDosary celebrated another victory by
claiming the FUT Champions Cup.
However, all
eyes are on the next stop of the Global Series, the storied footballing city of
Amsterdam, where the best FIFA 18 competitors will compete to see who will
qualify for the FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final. A total of 128 players, 64 each on
PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, will enter the Playoffs, but only 16
from each console will progress to the Grand Final. The competitors at
qualifying events will exclusively use Turtle Beach Elite Pro
products to ensure the best possible gaming audio experience.
“I can’t think
of a better way to strengthen and expand our presence in competitive gaming
than by joining forces with EA SPORTS and arming them with the best gaming
headsets available,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “With
this being a World Cup year, soccer will be ever-present and there’s no better
digital representation of the game than FIFA 18.”
“Working with brands like Turtle Beach is very
additive to the FIFA competitive gaming ecosystem,” said Dave Madden, SVP
Global Brand Partnerships at EA. “These endemic partners provide a great layer
of authenticity to the competition through activations like in-broadcast social
engagements, partnerships at retail, and co-branded content that all add to the
experience of our players and viewers.”
Turtle Beach’s Elite Pro line defines the future of
esports gaming audio equipment, delivering best-in-class audio performance for
game sound and team chat, plus innovative comfort-driven technologies to ensure
players stay comfortable and cool under pressure.
