ESL, the world’s largest esports company, today announced a three-year partnership extension with Acer, which designates Acer as the official global partner for all four Intel® Extreme Masters events seasons 14 through 16, as a continuation from the finale of season 13 at IEM Katowice. As the sole PC vendor for IEM events, Acer’s innovative gaming technologies will bring new levels of competitive gameplay to both fans and athletes.

“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Acer for the next three years and believe it’s an indication of the long-term commitment we’re seeing in the industry,” said Paul Brewer, Senior Vice President Brand Partnerships at ESL North America.

Being the exclusive PC partner at IEM, Acer’s gamer-focused brand and line of computer hardware, Predator, is presumed to be fully integrated in all aspects of Counter Strike: Global Offensive tournaments for upcoming Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM) seasons. According to them, Acer Predator-brand monitors will be showcased throughout the coming seasons, with their laptops stationed at the analyst desk for each event.  Both the Predator Triton 900 and the Predator Triton 500, will be on display at IEM Katowice.
