Power-Based Esports Partnerships

The Chiefs Announces an APC by Schneider Electric Partnership

— October 12, 2022 — Tech
Australian esports organization The Chiefs Esports Club has announced it will be partnering with APC by Schneider Electric in order to provide the organization’s competitive rosters with PC protection gear, consoles, and internet modems. The Chiefs currently have competitive rosters in League of Legends and Halo Infinite, and the organization recently renewed its partnership with L’Oreal Paris Men Expert. Most recently, the organization’s League of Legends team qualified for the Worlds 2022 Championship.

Nick Bobir, CEO of The Chiefs, commented on the partnership with APC: “We’ve all been there before, someone has either tripped the power or there is a blackout in your block. But you were in the middle of a game and now not only have to wait to see if your gear is fried, but you know you have cost your team the game. Now thanks to this partnership with APC, we can keep The Chiefs powered up no matter what gets thrown at them.”
