British esports organisation Method has announced a partnership with hardware supplier SCAN Computers.
The deal will see SCAN collaborate with Method throughout World of Warcraft’s Midnight Season 1. Specifically, it will focus on Race to World First, a competitive event centred on defeating new expansion raids in the latest WoW expansion. Its latest edition officially kicks off on March 17th.
According to a release, SCAN will be promoted across Method creators’ channels and events over the next month. Additionally, the partnership will also offer giveaways throughout the event.
Liam Whitehead, Head of Partnerships, commented on the new deal: “SCAN is synonymous in the UK as the go-to PC hardware brand for your next build, and I personally recommend their ‘Live Build’ option. It gives you the chance to watch your system being built.
“We’re incredibly excited to have SCAN back supporting Method for our Race to World First and the launch of the Midnight expansion.”
Method Locks Another Partner
Founded in 2005, Method is one of the world’s longest-standing World of Warcraft guilds. In recent years, the esports team has continued to attract new partners to support its initiatives.
Last year, the company closed a deal with decentralised cloud infrastructure provider Theta Network, renewed its existing deal with stream donation platform Noda Prime, and also signed a new deal with digital store Instant Gaming. The company is also backed by the soft drink company Holy as well as the open-world Web3 MMORPG Valhalla.
