The collaboration marks the coffee brand’s initial foray into the esports space.
Michele Attisani Co-Founder and CBO of FACEIT commented on the partnership in a release: “Death Wish Coffee has a fantastic brand identity and mission that we feel aligns with our own values. Their approach naturally resonates with competitive gaming which can be high octane, energetic and fun. Most importantly their products don’t include chemicals.
“Our community competes together for hours at a time so it’s important that whatever they are picking up to eat or drink is as natural as possible.”
FACEIT houses a competitive gaming community that claims to amass 20m users each month, according to a release. The partnership will aim to connect this community to Death Wish Coffee and offer a product which is ‘designed to boost energy levels and enhance performance’.
