MARCH 1—International computer chair maker Secretlab today announced a partnership with PGL, an internationally-recognised esports company most known for organising major Dota 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive tournaments.
The sponsorship deal will see PGL tournament participants and stream casters now equipped with Secretlab’s highly-acclaimed chairs—known for their build quality and comfort—for training and official matches, starting with this month’s Dota 2 Bucharest Major as well as PGL’s first large-scale PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Spring Invitational.
Said Ian Alexander, Secretlab’s co-founder and managing director: “Being former competitive Starcraft II gamers ourselves, nothing comes close to the thrill and rush of excitement at these major tournaments. I first took notice of PGL during the Manila Major—their production quality is second to none and partnering with them was a no-brainer as we continue our support for e-sports around the world. From today, we will provide their tournament players and casters with the best chairs they’ve ever sat in.”
Said PGL CEO Silviu Storie: “We at PGL understand the importance of well-engineered gaming chairs, both from our own experiences as producers behind the scenes and from interacting with pro-players every day. We are fortunate to have a friend and a partner in Secretlab, who, like us, share the vision that to obtain incredible performances, you need the proper support.”
This month’s Dota 2 Bucharest Major 2018 will see the top 16 Dota 2 teams in the world square off for a share of a $1 million prize pool, as well as qualification points for the 2018 edition of The International. The group stages will run from March 4-7, while the main event will be held from March 9 – 11 at the Polyvalent Hall.
The PGL PUBG Spring Invitational, happening just a week later from March 22-25, will feature 16 of the best PUBG teams in the world battling for a $100,000 prize pool, live from the PGL Studios in Bucharest.
