SAN DIEGO, June 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 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
