Los Angeles-based esports organization Sentinels announced Tuesday that it has signed a new partnership with international gaming peripherals and accessories company Razer.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the new partnership has a one-year term.
Under the terms of this new deal, the new Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair (which has a retail price of $649 USD) will be the official gaming chair for Sentinels players and the organization will be Team Razer, which spotlights the “world’s best esports athletes.”
This announcement follows a successful partnership with Sentinels Valorant player Zachary “zekken” Patrone, who (much to Razer’s delight, no doubt) won the Grand Finals of VCT 2024: Masters Madrid using the Razer Viper V3 Pro wireless esports mouse—part of Razer’s line of esports gaming peripherals.
