This is the second time that Powers has been named as a brand ambassador of an esports-related entity. In January 2021, the WNBA basketballer joined North American esports organisation Team Liquid as a brand ambassador and streamer.
Powers commented on collaborating with HyperX in a release: “I am extremely excited to officially join the HyperX family. Anyone who games knows that hearing an opponent coming before they see you is key to winning. With my HyperX headphones, I have been able to see a big difference in my gameplay and an increase in my number of ‘dubs’.
“Rocking HyperX is what will continue to keep me at the top of my game. I am so honoured to receive the Heroes treatment and I can’t wait to share with the world the sick creation that we come up with!”
