Furthers Turtle Beach’s Dedication to Player Supremacy in Competitive Esports,
Arming Allegiance Players Across Rocket League, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Arena
of Valor, and Clash Royale with the Latest Headsets and Gear as They Prepare to
Step Into the Arena
San
Diego, CA – June 6, 2018 – Turtle Beach
(NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand, today
announced a new partnership with esports franchise Team Allegiance. This
partnership will see Turtle Beach equipping Allegiance’s Rocket League team as they do battle in the Rocket League Championship Series, as well as players in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and new mobile
esports titles Arena of Valor and Clash Royale with its Elite Pro line of gaming headsets
and other audio accessories and gear.
Esports
is all about showing guts in the face of adversity – but that doesn’t mean you
actually have to show the guts. Team Allegiance prides itself on its
family-friendly nature and focus on mobile gaming – both core tenets of the
organization. Allegiance players are second to none in their grit and
excellence, embracing all fans equally with their commitment to accessibility
and inclusiveness. This commitment to quality for all levels of gamers is also
what separates Turtle Beach from competitors. Together, Turtle Beach and
Allegiance will highlight the importance of great game sound and the impact of
squad communication and how those two elements combine to help climb the
leaderboards. The partnership will also create content that showcases how the
Allegiance teams and personalities dedicate themselves to being the best.
“To
become an esports champion takes dedication, training, and determination no
matter which game you’re playing,” said Andrew Lilien, VP of Marketing, Turtle
Beach. “We see excellence and fun across the full range of games. We strive to
support players’ journeys across all games by delivering the superior audio experience
needed to crush all comers. Allegiance’s dedication to its teams and the
passion of their fans melds perfectly with ours and we look forward to
fostering the next generation of champions together.”
Connor
Hall, President of Allegiance, commented, “Today, esports champions exist
across all types of games, and across all platforms from PC and console to the
exploding mobile esports space. We know this at a fundamental level and it is
amazing to have a partner in Turtle Beach that recognizes this too. We look
forward to empowering our players and fans with the passion that both
Allegiance and Turtle Beach share in building greatness.”
Added
Ryan Musselman, SVP of Global Partnerships for Infinite Esports &
Entertainment, “We are looking forward to furthering Turtle Beach’s
multi-faceted approach toward esports. By partnering Allegiance with Turtle
Beach, we are able to help them embrace additional new audiences, and continue
to showcase the competitive progress and capabilities that come from aligning
with the top gaming audio brand.”
Turtle
Beach’s Elite Pro line has set the
standard for 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 fire. Together,
Turtle Beach and Allegiance now pursue esports domination with a new fan base
and gaming audience.
