The partnership will see NSE esports events use DrayTek networking products, which NSE says will offer a faster and more stable experience for players and fans.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAs the official partner of NSE, DrayTek will also work with the organisation during the Insomnia Gaming Festival during which the finals of the British Esports University Championship will take place.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe two companies revealed DrayTek would become immediately involved with what NSE claims is the UK’s largest gaming community. Activations are also planned, but so far only the DrayTek Speed Test has been announced.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nDrayTek said that the event will “see students compete against one another to accomplish several different challenges as fast as they can.” It did not announce which games will the students play as a part of the challenges.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nDrayTek is a prominent producer of routers and networking equipment, based in Taiwan. The company offers enterprise products for large-scale operations. This is the first venture into esports for the company. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nNational Student Esports counts Intel<\/a>, Pringles<\/a>, SpecialEffect and Monster Energy amongst its sponsor portfolio.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\n \nGareth Long, Business Director at DrayTek,<\/strong> said: “We\u2019re delighted to team up with NSE to elevate the quality of gaming connectivity within the university community. As avid gamers ourselves, we understand the frustration that latency and unreliable connections can cause.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n“By leveraging our technology, we aim to provide a solid foundation for competitive esports, enabling gamers to perform at their absolute best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
