ESL FACEIT Group announced Monday a new partnership that will make the Logitech G PRO Series the official gaming gear of the ESL Pro Tour and ESL Impact Counter-Strike 2 circuits.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The first fruits of this new partnership will begin at the Intel Extreme Masters in Cologne, Germany, from Aug. 7 – 18, where Logitech G PRO Series equipment will be used by esports athletes competing onstage in front of thousands of fans.

“We’re excited to partner with ESL FACEIT Group to better serve the needs of the world’s best pro players with Logitech G Pro Series equipment and beyond,” said Brent Barry, Head of Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G. “We’re committed to supporting esports excellence every step of the way, and that begins with cutting-edge gear designed with pros that enables world-class performance.”

In addition to the IEM Cologne, the Logitech G PRO Series will play a prominent role at  IEM Rio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in October; ESL Pro League Season 20, taking place in St. Julian’s, Malta, in September; ESL Challenger and ESL Challenger League competitions—including ESL Challenger League Season 48—taking place online, and ESL Challenger tournaments held live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in October, and in Katowice, Poland in November 2024; and ESL Impact Season 6 at the Live Global Finals being hosted during DreamHack Stockholm in Sweden.

The Logitech G PRO Series included a number of peripherals and gaming accessories designed for professional gamers including gaming chairs, the Logitech G PRO X Superlight Wireless Gaming Mouse, and the Logitech G PRO X TKL Lightspeed Gaming Keyboard.

ESL FACEIT Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Savvy Games Group—which in turn is owned by the Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund and its Chairman of the board is Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler HRH Crown Prince MBS. EFG is home to tournament organizer ESL, Esports Engine, competition platform FACEIT, and esports and gaming festival company DreamHack.
