Mettlestate, leading South African Esports tournament organiser, and Cougar Gaming have announced their partnership and aim to make waves in the local esports space.
This September, Mettlestate and Cougar Gaming announced their new partnership. This relationship is going to make a massive difference in the competitive esports scene. The community will do nothing but benefit from this partnership. Through this partnership, gamers will have access to more unbeatable deals on high quality peripherals and gaming gear, and access to even more esports opportunities. Both Mettlestate and Cougar Gaming are prominent in the gaming space in their own unique and epic ways. Mettlestate is bringing the esports tournament organiser and gaming content expertise, and Cougar Gaming is supplying the high-performance products. This partnership is one for the books.
“We are honoured to step into the role of Cougar Gaming’s esports partner”, exclaims Barry ‘Anthrax’ Louzada, Mettlestate’s managing director. “After spending many years in the competitive space as a player, a caster and a tournament organiser, I’ve seen that the gaming space needs this kind of partnership. This partnership represents a new way forward in the space. It represents the growth and professionalism of our industry, of our passion”.
The gaming space in South Africa was, for a long time, seen as a casual space with little potential for players and brands alike. In the last few years esports has seen tremendous growth and opportunity. The number of players, casual and competitive, has dramatically increased. Brands have realised the potential brimming in our community. More and more brands, endemic and otherwise, have started to invest in this potential, and the community is all the better for it.
“This partnership will allow us to further deliver on meeting gamers casual and competitive needs,” says Quinton Blaauw, TechTraders Sales and Marketing director. “We have some unique ways we will delivering value directly to gamers on the Mettlestate platform. We cannot wait to get feedback from the community on our new initiative, ass we will be dropping early releases, specials and giveaways their way.”
It’s time to take the local esports scene to the next level. It’s time to forge the future of South African Gaming with Cougar Gaming and Mettlestate.
