Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – The Saudi Esports Federation (SEF) on Tuesday announced that Razer, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, will be the gaming gear partner at Gamers8: The Land of Heroes, the biggest gaming and esports festival worldwide.
This is the second year in a row that SEF and Razer have collaborated for Gamers8, following the successful partnership last summer. Organized by SEF, Gamers8 runs for eight weeks from July 6 and features elite esports tournaments at the purpose-built venue at Boulevard Riyadh City, as well as live concerts and numerous activities and attractions.
Razer will provide premium hardware from their range of gaming peripherals for VIPs and influencers during Gamers8, as well as having the products showcased during the esports competitions together with the company’s well-known logo on the official broadcast.
Just like last year, a unique Gamers8 x Razer collection will be sold exclusively on-site during the festival, with items from the company’s signature collection also available for purchase.
In addition, SEF and Razer will organize raffles for Gamers8 attendees, and fans on social media, to win some exclusive gaming gear.
“Good partnerships produce great things together, and we are delighted to welcome back Razer as gaming gear partner for another incredible eight-week spell of Gamers8 action,” Ahmed Albishri, Deputy CEO at the Saudi Esports Federation, said.
Flo Gutierrez, Global Esports Director at Razer said that partnering with the Saudi Esports Foundation for Gamers8 is a demonstration of our commitment to supporting and celebrating the gaming community worldwide.
Gamers8 has a prize pool of $45 million – triple that of Gamers8 last year. The festival concludes with the Next World Forum, a gaming and esports forum held at the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Center on August 30-31, that brings together sector leaders and experts from around the world.
