“Strong sponsors not only amplify the exceptional experience for
players, spectators and fans across Call of Duty World League
community, but also help us welcome new fans from around the
world,” said Brandon Snow, Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue
Officer of Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues. “New sponsors MTN
DEW AMP and ASUS alongside returning sponsors PlayStation 4, ASTRO,
and SCUF Gaming all share our vision of continued growth in
esports. We look forward to working with our entire roster of
sponsors starting this week at CWL Las Vegas and beyond to deliver
the most exciting CWL season yet.”
“MTN DEW AMP GAME FUEL is thrilled to join this year’s Call of
Duty World League season,” said Erin Chin, senior director,
marketing, Mountain Dew. “We’re kicking off the sponsorship at the
Las Vegas competition and giving attendees an exclusive first taste
of the beverage ahead of its 2019 launch. MTN DEW AMP GAME FUEL,
the first drink made by gamers, for gamers, will excite gamers
looking to take their gaming experience to the next level.”
“ASUS Republic of Gamers is proud to be providing the VG245H
console gaming monitor for the CWL 2019 season, helping to deliver
the best in class console gaming experience on the world’s largest
stage. Both professional and amateur console gamers have recognized
the importance of using a monitor with minimal input lag, low
response times and a higher refresh rate as key to raising the bar
for competitive gaming. We look forward to the most competitive CWL
season yet,” said Vivian Lien, Head of Global Marketing for Gaming
at Republic of Gamers, and Chief Marketing Officer at ASUS North
America.
“ASTRO Gaming is back, sponsoring with the CWL for the 2018-19
season,” said Aron Drayer, VP of Marketing for ASTRO. “We’ll have
our booth onsite at every LAN event to interact with the passionate
CWL fans and athletes. We’re continuing to reward the top
performing player at each LAN event with our custom designed MVP
trophy. We’re powering Listen-Ins during every broadcast, and of
course we’re bringing back the popular Trading Shots weekly video
segments. We’re huge fans of Black Ops 4 and look forward to
another great year of CWL competition!”
“Call of Duty esports and professional gaming are deeply rooted
into our core DNA. We first designed SCUF controllers 8 years ago
to cater for the fast action and competitive demands of Call of
Duty esports, so it’s very humbling to see how far Call of Duty
esports has come and seeing esports develop as a true industry,”
said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO & Founder of SCUF Gaming. “Without
Call of Duty esports, we would not be where we are so I thank
everyone who has been involved in its growth, success and another
year with the Call of Duty World League.”
