Esports Monitor Partnerships

ZOWIE is Named the Monitor Partner of VALORANT Champions Tour

— March 21, 2023 — Tech
ZOWIE, the esports division of BenQ, has officially confirmed a multi-year partnership with Riot Games for the 2023 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Americas international league. The company served as VCT EMEA's official monitor partner the previous year. No further information about the agreement has been made public other than the fact that monitors would be provided for the VCT Americas program. This includes if ZOWIE will undergo any more activations as per the contract.

The company's 'XL2566K' display has ZOWIE's DyAc+TM technology, intended to lessen motion blur. Also, the display has "color optimization technology" that improves vision in low-light situations, and these technologies are ideal for competitive gaming.

“ZOWIE has been a staple for pro gamers for years on end. Across various game titles and esports competitions, we’ve always taken pride in delivering the most premium gear to get you ready for the big stage," said Houston Wei, Senior Director of BenQ America Corp.
