Energy eSports secures new sponsors

At rAge 2013, professional gaming organisation Energy eSports announced they have secured new sponsors – Proline, AMD, and IS Gaming are new sponsors, along with existing sponsors, Monster Energy and SteelSeries.

Alan Spohr, Energy eSports Marketing and PR Manager said: “We are very excited to have new sponsors of this calibre on board with Energy eSports. Energy is set to receive high-end Gaming Rigs from Proline. Powered by AMD Technology, and quality broadband from IS Gaming who are a division of Internet Solutions. It allows us to use premium and Reliable Machines and bandwidth to compete in all competitions. With the majority of our team still in University or School, it will give the players an added sense of freedom and flexibility to pursue gaming further, train and compete on a professional level without any concerns, also helping us as a team to reach new heights within the gaming community. It’s an honour to be sponsored in general, but a completely new level to be sponsored by such highly rated Companies.”

Proline General Manager, Rodger Green said that the Energy eSports team grabbed Proline’s attention when they won the DOTA Do Gaming Winter League earlier this year. “They have been going from strength to strength and we see a bright future for this young but experienced team. With the addition of Proline Computers as a sponsor we feel that Energy eSports has what it takes to continue dominating local gaming and make a significant impact abroad,” said Green.

Jaco Laubscher, AMD Country Manager said: “AMD have always been involved with the gaming community, and we are excited to get more involved with the likes of Energy eSports. They have proved themselves to be both professional and true sportsmen in the love of eSports, which are all values that AMD admire, and it doesn’t hurt that they are so highly respected in the Gaming community already.”

Sameer Parker, Senior Manager for Strategy at Internet Solutions, said: “We are very excited to be part of the South African gaming community, not only in providing free ranked servers for local gamers but also to support a Multi Gaming Organisation such as Energy eSports as they battle their way to the top of the team rankings.”

“By supporting local teams, we assist them in establishing themselves in the South African gaming scene, providing them with some of the tools they need to become world-class cyber athletes. Energy eSports is the latest sponsorship of its kind that IS Gaming has undertaken and we are very excited about the road that lies ahead,” said Parker.
