Deal for shirt, Academy and Counter-Strike tournament sponsorship signals start of eSports drive for upcoming mobile AR combat game
Reality Gaming Group has inked a major sponsorship for its upcoming mobile AR combat game Reality Clash with Denmark-based eSports community, Sørby.
The agreement will see the Reality Clash logo emblazoned on Sørby team shirts, throughout the Sørby Academy and during Sørby’s participation in the upcoming Supreme Masters Counter-Strike tournament in Switzerland.
The latter event will be live streamed on Twitch from August 31st to September 2nd, with a prize fund of €7,500.
It’s the first move into eSports for the Reality Clash brand, which will launch tournaments of its own when the game is released later this year.
Sørby Esport is one of the biggest eSport communities in Denmark, with more than 300 active members. It provides training, bootcamps, tournaments and gaming events for both paying members and the gaming-loving public.
Each week more than 160 gamers attend Sørby’s online and offline training sessions for Counter-Strike CS:GO, FIFA, Overwatch, Hearthstone and Rocket League.
Reality Clash is an augmented reality FPS combat game for iOS and Android devices set in an underground world of cryptocurrency and hackers. Players will be able to connect to friends in real-time using geo map technology, join private teams and enter tournaments.
Reality Gaming Group CEO and Co-Founder Morten Rongaard said: “Reality Clash is focusing on being part of the worldwide and growing eSport community and we are planning to host and develop our own type of games using Blockchain technology. We are already in the early stages of development and Sørby Esport is playing an important role in that process.”
Sørby Esport Chairman Mark Kristensen said: ”We see a great potential in partnering with Reality Clash, a lot of exciting things are happening in Sørby and in the near future we are opening an eSports center in the city of Slagelse. Our community means everything to us and with a new partner it will give us more resources to give the best experiences to our members.
“We welcome Reality Clash to the Sørby Esport family and we are looking forward to what the future brings!”
