Last year, Legacy Esports and META High School Esports both established partnerships with Optus. The telecommunications company joins Marvel, L’Oréal Paris Men Expert, Menulog, HyperX, Bond University, AOC, Mwave Australia, and Red Bull as a sponsor of the Australian organisation.
Nick Bobir, CEO of Chiefs Esports Club, also commented: “We couldn’t ask for a better partner in Optus. Gamers know how important a high speed and reliable internet connection is and need a provider they can trust. Through this partnership we will be able to assist the development of Optus products tailored to Australian gamers to optimise their gaming experience.
“This partnership reflects Optus’s continued support of the development of esports & gaming in the ANZ region and ensures they have a direct link to The Chiefs professional players & creators for feedback on how to make their products and services better tailored to our industry.”
Esports Insider says: Optus has been growing its presence in the region over the past 12 months and securing a deal with such a well-known brand as Chiefs is certainly a step in the right direction.
