“Gamers8 has a mission to blur the lines between what’s physical and what’s virtual, and the triple-headed snake trademark of Razer, one of the most recognized logos in the gaming world, is a great addition to the event. We know fans will be as excited as we are with this partnership.”
Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, Gamers8 will focus on four main pillars, each with something to offer for everyone.
