One activation that has been revealed is ‘Evil Intercepts’, a new content series that will provide fans with player in-game comms during Evil Geniuses’ LCS games.
Michael Fudzinski, Chief Revenue Officer at Evil Geniuses, commented: “Evil Geniuses is honoured to welcome Bud Light into the EG family.
“Bud Light is renowned for their support of elite organisations across sports and entertainment, and the pairing with EG and our 21+ year history represents the latest continuation of this legacy that our fans and the community will celebrate.”
In addition, some of Evil Geniuses’ roster will broadcast on Bud Light’s Twitch channel to take part in ‘Bud Light Streams’ throughout the rest of the year. Bud Light’s first collaborative content with the esports organisation will take place on March 7th, as Evil Geniuses player Dennis ‘Svenskeren’ Johnsen joins the Bud Light League Lounge on Twitch following the LCS.
