Allied Esports, a global esports entertainment company, and Newegg, the leading tech-focused e-retailer in North America with a global reach into more than 50 countries, today announced a multiyear marketing agreement designating Newegg as a founding partner and official e-commerce partner of HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas.

Under this agreement, Newegg branding will be displayed prominently throughout HyperX Esports Arena, as well as on the venue’s official website, social channels and live streams. Allied Esports and Newegg will develop and host co-branded events twice each year at the arena.

Newegg will also create interactive retail locations throughout the venue where customers and guests can test out the latest gaming gear. All products on display will feature an option whereby customers can scan a code with their mobile devices to learn more about the products or purchase them on Newegg’s mobile app.

“Gamers and fans from around the world who visit HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas expect first-class experiences and services, and Newegg will undoubtedly play a major role in both moving forward,” said Simon Temperley, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer of Allied Esports. “We look forward to joining forces with Newegg to create amazing, engaging events and content that continues to cement Las Vegas as the center of the esports ecosystem.”

The agreement announced today is the latest in a series of investments Newegg is making in esports. Last month, the company entered into a marketing partnership with Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) to support the CLG Fortnite team’s events at Madison Square Garden in New York. In aggregate, Newegg now has a major stake in esports events in both the Eastern and Western United States.

“Newegg is going all-in with esports, and we’re making sure fans get to enjoy cool events at iconic venues in Las Vegas and New York,” said Mitesh Patel, VP Marketing at Newegg. “Our partnerships with CLG and Allied Esports place Newegg at the epicenter of the esports movement, where we can help any fan ‘Game Like a Pro.’”

Event details will be announced at a later date. For more information, fans can follow @AlliedEsports and @HyperXESALV and visit AlliedEsports.gg, and follow Newegg on Facebook and Twitter and go to www.newegg.com.
