Emil “HeatoN” Christensen and Tommy “Potti” Ingemarsson are legends in esports terms – with over 18 championships between them. Although the two of them are no longer competitors, they are both founders of Ninjas in Pyjamas, a well-renowned esports organisation based in Sweden that competes across multiple titles with flagship teams in both Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2.
The collaboration marks the first brand ambassador deal in esports with a luxury watch maker. Given the fact that when cameras show players their wrists are often on show – it’s a partnership that definitely makes sense and we would expect more to emerge in the future. Although both HeatoN and Potti no longer play, we would suspect that it won’t be long before we see a partnership with active players from a watch brand.
Esports Insider says: It’s great to see a luxury watch brand enter the space in what is clearly a very apt match. The watch itself looks slick and one would imagine will feature on many an esports fans Christmas list. Congratulations to HeatoN and Potti on becoming ambassadors.
