July 1, 2020Watch out gamers! PUMA now has an esports presence in North America, Europe, and Asia – the three regions where the industry is most prominent.
A spotlight on the latest member of the family: Gen.G Esports!
Esports is still growing in popularity globally as a spectator sport online and during live events. PUMA is excited to welcome Gen.G to its esports family. In the partnership with the Korean multi-gaming team, we provide official game day shirts and pants for league players. The multi-year deal already kicked-off with the LCK (League Champions Korea) Summer Split in mid-June and puts focus on the creation of a new lifestyle culture that combines the characteristics of esports and of a sports apparel brand.
Signing of Gen.G is a great example of how regional PUMA teams can adapt the global esports strategy on a local level. Thanks to these kinds of partnerships, PUMA is closer than ever to becoming the world’s premiere esports apparel company.
Play.
Cultivate.
