Global innovative smartphone brand TECNO and Southeast Asian premier eSports organization RSG announced plans for a year-long partnership to support competitive gaming and the eSports communities in the Philippines and Malaysia. The partnership, which begins in April 2024, builds upon a previous successful collaboration in 2023. As part of this year’s initiative, TECNO will continue to support RSG Philippines and kick-start support for RSG Malaysia in their eSports tournaments. The two brands will also jointly curate community-based local eSports outreach programs in Philippines and Malaysia. RSG players will also serve as TECNO’s official gaming ambassadors. The partnership aims to elevate the standards of competitive eSports; increase engagement between eSports players, content creators and the public; and inspire eSports communities in the two Southeast Asian countries.
“The partnership with RSG Philippines has been fruitful to support eSports talent and inspire the communities. TECNO’s quest for innovation and giving the best gaming experience through our smartphones matches well with these best-in-class eSports teams. We are delighted to join hands with RSG again to engage and excite gamers in the Philippines and now in Malaysia,” said TECNO regional marketing director Nana Chen. “We are excited that TECNO has decided to strengthen our partnership this year. Both brands are well-aligned in our values to set new standards in both technological innovation and competitive performance. This year, as we extend to both Philippines and Malaysia, we hope to do more to grow together and cement our position as a leading platform of opportunities for aspirants,” said RSG Founder and CEO Jayf Soh.
Pulse Nova Entertainment, a full-service gaming entertainment marketing agency and the exclusive rights-holders of RSG’s players, partnerships and sponsorships, worked closely with the two brands to develop the partnership. “We’re thrilled to unite industry giants, TECNO and RSG, in elevating eSports. With TECNO’s support, we aim to break new frontiers through the introduction of meaningful partnerships to mobilize gamers worldwide,” said Pulse Nova Entertainment's Head of Sales Cindy Lim. RSG Philippines and RSG Malaysia players are donning TECNO’s logo on their jerseys as they are competing in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) and Malaysia (MPL MY) tournaments this year. TECNO supports the teams’ efforts in gearing up to set new standards in the eSports arenas. Fans can also look forward to enjoying the finesse of the players as TECNO and RSG develop memorable content and gaming activities.
RSG Philippines is an MLBB competitive eSports team, emerging victorious recently as the champion of ONE eSports MPL Invitational (MPLI) 2023. The local team also won the Mobile Legends SEA Cup 2022 as well as the MPL PH Season 9 (in 2022). MLBB eSports powerhouse RSG Malaysia has won the Kohai SEA Championship Season 2 in 2023 as well as the MPL Malaysia Season 7.
