2021 has seen Team Vitality secure several new sponsors to bolster its commercial portfolio. In January, the organisation entered into partnerships with gym equipment company Incept, electronics manufacturer Philips Monitors, watch manufacturer Garmin, and supermarket chain ALDI France.
Duncan Ironmonger, Founder and CEO of SCUF Gaming, also spoke on the deal: “Since inception, SCUF has been dedicated to supporting the French esports community by bringing innovation to the competitive gaming controller category. Team Vitality is a giant in French esports and in just a few years, Vitality has been able to become one of the best esports organisations in the World.
“With initiatives like Vitality’s Hive in Paris, high-quality content, influencer support and unique brand collaborations, this partnership is a natural fit for SCUF and we’re excited to continue our journey sharing our values and passion.
Esports Insider says: In recent years, Team Vitality has become one of Europe’s most recognisable esports organisations. Considering its presence across a range of titles where controllers are often used, joining forces with SCUF is a logical decision.
