Gaming PC manufacturer iBUYPOWER has partnered with VCT Americas as the official PC sponsor for the international VALORANT league. As part of the sponsorship, iBUYPOWER will provide the on-stage computers used in competition throughout the VCT Americas season, including the playoffs. Additionally, iBUYPOWER will host community engagement events where players can earn in-game and real-life prizes.
In an exciting development, fans will have the chance to win a free "VCT Americas Spec-Approved" gaming PC with every ace scored during the season. This giveaway is open to fans in both the U.S. and Canada, while supplies last. More details about the giveaway will be announced soon as the season is set to start on Friday, Feb. 16.
While this partnership is a positive step for the VCT Americas league, it is important to note that iBUYPOWER's involvement is limited to being the official PC sponsor and providing prizes. There were speculations among some fans that iBUYPOWER might be returning to competitive gaming, but this is not the case. iBUYPOWER previously sponsored a professional North American Counter-Strike team, but their name became associated with a match-fixing scandal. Since then, iBUYPOWER has only briefly sponsored a professional Rocket League team.
In conclusion, iBUYPOWER's partnership with VCT Americas as the official PC sponsor brings exciting opportunities for fans to win gaming PCs and engage with the VALORANT community. However, it is important to clarify that iBUYPOWER's involvement is limited to sponsorship and does not indicate a return to competitive gaming.
