Progressive joins the likes of the Toyota Dealers Association in Southern California, BLNQ, and ALL33, among others, as a partner of the Immortals’ LCS team. Earlier this month, the organisation expanded its partnership with Toyota to include the manufacturer’s San Diego County dealerships.
This isn’t the insurance firm’s first partnership in esports with the company previously sponsoring Super Smash Bros tournaments in 2019.
Esports Insider says: After dipping its toes into esports in 2019, Progressive looks to fully dive in with its latest partnership with Immortals. Alongside traditional activations, the partnership looks to provide unique sponsorship opportunities, as highlighted by Progressive and Immortals’ virtual gaming events. It’ll also be interesting to see how much the insurance company’s branding will be integrated into the LCS team’s assets.
