Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“
Enthusiast
Gaming” or the “
Company”)
(TSX: EGLX)(OTCQB: ENGMF)(FSE: 2AV) is excited to
announce that the Vancouver Titans have entered into a new
partnership agreement with Pizza Hut Canada designating Pizza Hut
as the Official Pizza of the team and their fans.
“We are incredibly thrilled to deliver this
exciting partnership to our fans and can’t wait to make Pizza Hut
an integral part of the Titans gameday experience,” said
Tim Holloway, Esports Director at the Vancouver
Titans.
“At Pizza Hut it's no secret that we like to
have fun with innovative ideas. We are a brand that is built of
memories of togetherness,” said Devon Lawrence, Portfolio
Marketing Manager at Pizza Hut Canada.
“We see esports as a great opportunity to connect and make more
memories together in a more modern world. This is a unique
opportunity to connect with over 23 million gamers across
Canada!”
Pizza Hut and the Titans will be celebrating
fans throughout the season by offering promotions on Titans
gamedays including a Titans-focused in-store promotion later this
summer.
“We live in a digital culture and appreciate how
important gaming is to this younger generation – we are excited to
serve the gaming community,” said Bryce Hollweg, VP &
Managing Director at Pizza Hut Restaurants. “Pizza Hut
Canada is now offering contact-less delivery options, so stay safe,
keep gaming and let Pizza Hut come to you.” This
partnership will kick off with a PSA Campaign encouraging Titans
fans to “Stay + Play @Home” as we navigate through the COVID-19
pandemic. Pizza Hut Canada and the Titans will be working with
Enthusiast Gaming to engage and reward gamers across Canada for
doing their part in helping to flatten the curve.
The new Vancouver Titans roster unveiled last
week features two Canadian players including veteran Roolf and
up-and-coming star ShRedlock. We can’t wait to build a better
connection to our local community through this new team. “Having
North American based players will better allow us to deliver
meaningful content for our local fans and Partners. We are
re-focused on the development of our player system and re-building
this team the right way,” said Holloway. To
support this new direction Pizza Hut and the Titans will also be
announcing a new amateur gaming tournament where Overwatch fans can
compete to play and train with the Titans.
