POINT3 made its debut in the esports space after a successful beta test in the Spring of 2020. In the following months, the brand partnered with NBA 2K League player Nidal “MamaImDatMan” Nasser and joined forces with organisation Fade2Karma to open its fan store.
Michael Luscher, POINT3 Founder and CEO, commented on the partnership in a release: “We’ve spent the last year immersing ourselves in the esports community exploring the apparel needs of these athletes. They need gear that’s comfortable, eliminates distractions and is ready to perform. Our partnership with Atlanta’s Ghost Gaming and the response from their team to this new collection affirms our belief that the market is ready for new apparel innovation.”
