SAN DIEGO, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
