AMD Reenters the eSport Arena with the Sponsorship of ROCCAT's Professional Team

btarunr · May 19, 2014

During its 45 years history AMD has been focused on bringing technology to market that creates a visually-rich and user-friendly digital experiences. The AMD game heritage is strong and programs like the " AMD Gaming Evolved Client powered by Raptr" are demonstrating this. AMD is pleased to announce that it is reentering the eSports arena with the sponsorship of ROCCAT's professional eSport team. Through this new global sponsorship, AMD will be actively supporting ROCCAT's professional eSports team in the prestigious League of Legends and the StarCraft II league in the whole of EMEA.

"AMD is gaming, we are powering millions of gamers with our AMD Radeon Graphics and AMD APUs around the globe. Getting involved in e-sport and sponsoring Team Roccat is just a natural step for AMD moving forward. Given that AMD graphic cards like the AMD Radeon R7 240 offer great performance for games like League of Legends, we are excited and are looking forward to supporting the Roccat team and helping them win." - commented Mark Reed, Director of Marketing EMEA at AMD.

But of course the actual GPU's used for these eSport championships will not be R7 240's. They will likely be the top end of the GPU scale. And if they're supporting StarCraft II, I hope they don't use their APUs. That game needs more than an APU.

Nvidea supported the Ns2 world cup and gave away 750's. I say this, not to snip amd but that they gave low end gpu's also like the 240.

The prize pool is a tiny proportion of the money that exists in professional LoL. Riot pays players a good wage to compete in the LCS, and (due to high viewing figures) the money good teams can make from streaming, sponsorships and endorsements is nuts.
