Esports venue operator Helix eSports has announced a partnership with gaming peripherals brand Razer. 

As exclusive peripherals partner, Razer will supply Helix eSports’ gaming facilities across North America from 23 May – coinciding with the opening of Helix eSports’ Patriot Place venue. The new location was originally set to open in January, but was delayed by the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Patriot Place is also set to serve as the training facility for the Overwatch League franchise Boston Uprising. Helix eSports also operates two venues in New Jersey, in North Bergen and Freehold. 

Additionally, Razer will be supporting Helix eSports-hosted tournaments, starting tomorrow, 16 May, with the ‘Wounded Warrior Project Stream to Serve: COD Tournament II.’ The tournament will be streamed on Helix’s Twitch. 

Commenting on the news Senior Global Esports Marketing Manager at Razer, Seeson Mahathavorn, said:

“At Razer, we look for every opportunity to bring communities together to play and compete with one another on our best-in-class hardware. We are excited to work with Helix eSports to help create the most robust gaming centers in the world and bring players together in new ways under the banner of competition.”

While CEO of Helix eSports, Murphy Vandervelde, added:

“Our mission at Helix eSports is to create an exceptional esports experience for all players by providing best in class gaming centers that create social hubs and level the playing field for competition. 

“We believe we can create the best possible guest experience by offering all Helix customers our uniform, high-end gaming equipment, and Razer is a critical differentiator in elevating our offerings over the competition.”
