This new partnership continues the years-long collaboration between Turtle Beach and H3CZ, which began with Hector’s first gaming headset back in 2010 and was officially inaugurated in 2016 via partnership with OpTic Gaming, and resulted in multiple world championships in Gears of War, Halo and Call of Duty for teams using Turtle Beach gear, as well as a wealth of engaging and influential content for gamers to consume.
Hector’s passion for gaming, his ability to create first class, dominant esports organizations, and his engagement with fans are why we love working with him and why we’re excited about this new partnership with the Chicago Huntsmen,” said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach. “Hector is a pioneer in our industry, as well as a loyal and forward thinking partner and we can’t wait to collaborate with him on future product innovations and activations with the Chicago Huntsmen players, staff, content producers and fans.
The partnership with the Chicago Hunstmen will see the team using Turtle Beach’s original Elite Pro and Elite Pro 2 gaming headsets for team play, as well as all streaming activities. Additionally, Turtle Beach intends to work directly with H3CZ and the Chicago Hunstmen players to create a wealth of unique, engaging and fun content to support the Turtle Beach brand.
What can I say? Turtle Beach has been a great partner over the years, so as I build another winning organization with The Huntsmen it’s important that they have the very best equipment,” said Hector Rodriguez, Co-CEO, NRG Esports. “Turtle Beach has been a part of my life in gaming since the very beginning, and I’m excited we get to continue stacking up more wins and creating more amazing content together.
