The Saudi Esports Federation has established a relationship with leading electronics company LG for its gaming monitor subsidiary UltraGear.
LG UltraGear monitors will be utilized at the up and coming Gamers8 tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The $45m multi-title event begins on July 6th and will continue for six weeks.
The Gamers8 festival, which combines music, gaming, and esports, is one of the biggest gaming and esports events in the world. Large-scale tournaments in Dota 2, Rainbow Six: Siege, Fortnite, Rocket League, and CS:GO will be held throughout the festival, many of which will have prize pools in the millions of dollars.
LG‘s sub-brand for gaming products is called UltraGear. The division manufactures high-end gaming monitors for gamers and serves as the official monitor partner for the LEC, the leading League of Legends league in Europe. The company also serves as a monitor partner for many teams, including Gen.G, Evil Geniuses, and London Royal Ravens.
Regarding their partnership on the Gamers8 event, LG and the Saudi Esports Federation announced that their esports venues in Boulevard Riyadh City, where the tournaments are being hosted, would all be equipped with LG UltraGear 25GR75FG displays.
Aramco, a Saudi Arabian energy and chemical company, partnered together with the Saudi Esports Federation earlier this year to support Gamers Without Borders and Gamers8: The Land of Heroes.
Mr. Ken Jeong, LG’s President, talked about the partnership:
We are delighted to sign this MOU with the Saudi Esports Federation for Gamers8: The Land of Heroes, and look forward immensely to playing our part in such a prestigious gaming and esports festival. We believe Saudi Arabia has an ever-growing gaming industry, with its potential only increasing every day. With the country’s esports industry taking large steps, including the hosting of Gamers8, we at LG take great pride in our UltraGear™ series being used at an esports festival of this magnitude.
