Allied Esports’ European mobile arena, nicknamed “Big Betty™,”
has joined the HyperX Esports Truck brand, while its production and
broadcast facility located in Hamburg, Germany has been renamed the
HyperX Studio. The agreement follows two previous naming rights
announcements between the companies for HyperX Esports Arena Las
Vegas, Allied Esports’ global flagship arena, and the North
American HyperX Esports Truck, nicknamed “Big Meta™.”
“We are thrilled to continue to grow our relationship with
HyperX, an unequivocal leader and innovator in esports and beyond,
and the continuation of this naming rights deal solidifies our
shared commitment to engage fans across the globe,” said Simon
Temperley, Allied Esports Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer.
“With a foundation now in place on two continents, Allied Esports
and HyperX together have the opportunity to create experiences and
content that will influence audiences in new and meaningful ways
for years to come.”
“HyperX is excited to expand our branding and esports
relationship with Allied Esports. Allied is a proven partner that
shares our passion for excellence in gaming and entertainment,”
said Daniel Kelley, director of corporate marketing, HyperX. “With
global commitments to the gaming community to provide the best
gaming experiences, the European HyperX Esports Truck and HyperX
Studio will bring our ‘We’re All Gamers’ philosophy to more gaming
communities in Europe.”
The newly named HyperX Esports Truck was part of this past
weekend’s Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM) Katowice Expo 2019 in
Katowice, Poland, one of the world’s most prestigious esports shows
and the home of the first CS:GO Major of 2019. At the event, “Big
Betty” hosted gaming competitions and giveaways, influencers,
Cosplay contests, listening stations showcasing HyperX’s latest
products, and other interactive fan experiences.
“Big Betty” is the world’s first mobile esports arena and has
been one of the most popular gaming venues across Europe since its
debut in 2016. In 2018, the truck hosted Ireland’s largest esports
event ever – Three Ireland’s EStars – featuring ten teams and 50
competitors over eight weeks of League of Legends play, making
stops at League of Ireland football club stadiums. The competitors
battled for a chance to play at Ireland’s legendary 3Arena, €20,000
and a trip to HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas.
The latest HyperX Esports Truck also hosted and produced
qualifying and final events for the Mountain Dew GameFuel League,
an international Rocket League tournament with stages in
Switzerland, Denmark, the UK and Netherlands. The truck was also
centerstage at "Werner - Das Rennen,” Europe’s largest racing
festival combining music and racing, and for a prominent FIFA 19
scouting tournament for Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel.
The HyperX Studio is an 8,000-square-foot, multi-purpose event
and broadcast facility in Hamburg, Germany and the headquarters of
Allied Esports’ European operations. As with all of Allied Esports’
venues, the studio was created with a modular design capable of
holding a range of esports entertainment events and broadcasts. The
studio has been the home of the Legend Series broadcast since 2017,
the same year the venue hosted the CS:GO Legend Series final. The
HyperX Studio recently hosted Season 2 of the popular Blackout
Legend Series and is currently in preparation for Season 3. The
Apex Legend Series kicked off on February 28 and can be viewed on
twitch.tv/elcgamingtv.
With four properties now under the naming rights umbrella,
HyperX and Allied Esports will co-create unique esports and content
opportunities for professional players, streamers, partners and
fans around the world. Each property will feature HyperX headsets,
keyboards, mice and mouse pads for esports tournaments, special
events and daily play (Las Vegas).
HyperX showcased the two North American properties during the
Consumer Electronics Show 2019 in Las Vegas with events at HyperX
Esports Arena and activations with the HyperX Esports Truck on the
convention floor. North American HyperX Esports Truck “Big Meta”
also partnered with the NFL Retired Players Association in February
for a Madden NFL 19 event in Atlanta.
