2021 has already been a busy year for MGG. At the beginning of January, the organisation entered into a partnership with gaming hardware company ASUS Republic of Gamers. MOUNTAIN also joins the likes of Frontier Communications and the Gift of Life cone marrow and stem cell registry as MGG partners.
Vas Roberts, Vice President of Partnerships at MGG, also spoke on the deal: “We are laser-focused on building partnerships with innovators like MOUNTAIN who are committed on so many different levels to change the game in our industry. While keyboards and mice may seem trivial to some, we know the right technology and hardware can take our teams to the next level.”
Esports Insider says: Considering the short time of MOUNTAIN’s operation, joining forces with Misfits Gaming Group is certainly a statement of intent. The partnership will benefit both parties. MGG and its players will receive state-of-the-art peripherals while MOUNTAIN receives plenty of exposure, potentially opening the door for more partnerships of a similar nature.
