AGON by AOC and Red Bull's gaming partnership continues in 2023
AGON by AOC – one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands – and Red Bull, have teamed up once again in 2023 to take the esports world by storm. The partnership dates back to 2019 and has enjoyed continuous success ever since, with both brands set on bringing even more excitement and action to the gaming community worldwide.
Last year, the partnership sponsored 519 events across 23 countries, providing 580 AGON by AOC gaming monitors to the esports stages around the world. The Red Bull esports events in 2022 attracted over 100K live spectators on the ground and online. The streams generated 14.7 million views, with a whopping 432 million minutes watched.
Competitive gaming monitors from the AOC GAMING, AGON and AGON PRO lineups will be provided for all these events, enabling the best performance possible for the participants. The AGON PRO series stands for the highest-tier displays among AGON by AOC’s portfolio, aimed at esports athletes and enthusiasts. These high-end gaming monitors are designed in cooperation with professional esports organisations – such as the renowned G2 Esports team – to provide the ultimate gaming experience where the stakes are sky-high and gaming legends compete against each other. With high refresh rates of up to 360 Hz lightning-fast response times as low as 0.5 ms, and with low input lag, these monitors are built for competition.
In 2022, among others, these three esports tournaments sponsored by Red Bull and AGON by AOC garnered a large audience:
