The Australian Esports League (AEL) today announced its exclusive partnership with industry leading gaming headset brand RIG. RIG will be the official headset partner for its 2021 AEL esports program of events.

RIG will be providing the AEL with its competition grade headsets for use across its 2021 events, which includes activations at six major pop-culture conventions, 10 regional council events, four seasons of high school competitions and two seasons of university competitions. RIG will also provide headsets to be used as prizing over the course of the year for various AEL events.

“We’re thrilled to announce this partnership with the AEL,” said RIG Vice President Global Sales and Marketing Peter Petrides. “We’ve always been passionate about supporting the community and partnering with AEL allows us to continue supporting gamers through their entire esports journey, whether they are an amateur or seasoned professional.

AEL CEO Darren Kwan said,

“RIG has been trusted by professional gamers across the global for years. Having established the stadium headset category, we couldn’t think of a better partner to have on board to ensure that our 2021 competitive gamers have the best audio experience possible.”

“As the ANZ distributor and local marketing arm for RIG, it’s great that we are able to bring these two brands together,” said Omar Braery, General Manager, Marketing at Turn Left Distribution. “Both brands keep the gaming community front of mind and have an aligned mission to support grassroots esports where possible.”

The AEL’s partnership with RIG will commence on 17th-18th April 2021 at the Supanova Comic Con & Gaming event, taking place at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre. For a full rundown of the AEL’s 2021 events and league schedule, please visit: https://www.ael.org.au/.
