LG Electronics has long invested in the support towards the growing gaming and esports community in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Under this premise, LG is partnering with the highly anticipated Gamers8 esports and gaming event as the official supplier to exclusively provide LG C series TVs and gaming monitors for the duration of the event and its activities. Gamers8 will be one of the events to take place during Riyadh’s upcoming, all-new live esports and gaming season take-over this summer.
The event will exclusively utilize LG gaming monitors and TVs, including the LG UltraGear and the LG OLED evoTV, with the 27GP850 UltraGear gaming monitor being the event’s official sponsor monitor. A first choice for many gamers, the monitor’s integration into the festival’s activities and competitions is based on its breath-taking gaming performance and the unique experience it offers. Designed to meet gaming and e-sport requirements with the Nano IPS 1ms technology as well as a 165Hz refresh rate, gamers’ chances of victory are boosted with the ability of fast action and movement. The monitor is also notably NVIDIA-tested and is designed to be compatible with the most popular graphics cards, G-SYNC[1] and FreeSync[2], emphasizing the competitive experience of being in the middle of the battlefield for its incredible graphics and smooth, fast gaming experience.
Paired with the GP9 UltraGear gaming speaker, the UltraGear monitor is not the only gaming gear that provides total immersion into an unbound, unmatched gaming experience. Its industry-leading, built-in Hi-Fi Quad DAC prepares it for delivering the highest-resolution audio, providing a cinematic surrounding gaming sound.
LG has also set up a uniquely designed brand booth that will be featured throughout Gamers8 displaying LG gaming gear and products where audience and event attendees will be invited to take part in various scheduled activities and competitions throughout the event, as well as meet their favorite high-profile gamers. The event also centers around a series of tournaments and competitions with a $15 million dollar prize pool awarded by G8, with PUBG Mobile, Dota 2, and Fortnite being some of the participating games. With a program-packed GameDev Zone offering interactive workshops, webinars, exhibitions and hackathons with a focus on game design, development, and more, the festival is set to creatively break boundaries, set records, and enter new playing fields in Saudi’s prominent gaming community.
“The Saudi gaming community is one that LG is proud to be fostering and supporting. It is a prominent, growing community with lots of unparalleled talent and potential, emphasized by an event of this grandness. LG’s participation in Gamers8 is a great opportunity to insinuate its ever-present interest in developing this exciting community to even greater depths,” stated Mr. Jeong, LG Electronics General Manager.
Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, Gamers8 is the biggest esports and gaming events worldwide and will take place in the Kingdom for the first time in a purpose-built venue in Riyadh. Across a period of eight weeks, Gamers8 invites performances from international, regional, and local artists as well as promises more than a thousand activities and attractions.
