Matt Roche, Director of Business Development at Pittsburgh Knights commented: “The knights are looking forward to working with a company whose foundation and focus align with theirs – a love of gaming and the community around it.
“Boost Gaming and the Knights share this goal of serving and supporting the gaming community. We’re both working to elevate the gaming experience together and we’re glad they’ll be such a major part of Knights Arena and our community esports events.”
