Melbourne, AU – Legacy Esports is proud to announce a partnership with the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, Razer.
With a fan base that spans every continent, Razer has designed and built the world’s largest gamer-focused ecosystem of hardware, software and services. As the official peripheral partner, Razer will sponsor Legacy with its award-winning high-performance gaming peripherals.
The Adelaide Football Club, known as ‘The Crows’, acquired Legacy Esports in May 2017, becoming the first Australian professional sports team to enter into Esports.
The Crows Chief Operating Officer Nigel Smart heads up the Club’s esports program and said the partnership with Razer would provide a boost to the Legacy team.
