Official Personal Care Partner of ELEAGUE to Sponsor First-Ever ELEAGUE x Rocket League Game Zone presented by AXE, April 5-8, at the Final Four Fan Fest Presented by Capital One
AXE, a men's grooming brand, has partnered with ELEAGUE and will serve as the Official Personal Care Partner of ELEAGUE.
The collaboration will include a number of promotional and marketing initiatives across television, digital, social, and on-site at competitions, putting AXE's full line of body sprays, deodorants, anti-perspirants, body washes, shampoos and styling products front and center with ELEAGUE's scores of highly-engaged fans - reaching more than 52 million people each month across linear and digital platforms.
As ELEAGUE continues to innovate with new fan experiences, we are thrilled to bring on brands like AXE that really get the excitement of esports, says Seth Ladetsky, senior vice president of sales for Turner Sports. They are a perfect fit to activate around ELEAGUE's young and passionate audiences.
With the sponsorship already underway, the men's grooming brand will be activating around the first-ever ELEAGUE x Rocket League Game Zone presented by AXE, taking place within the Final Four Fan Fest presented by Capital One, Friday-Monday, April 5-8, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The event will feature the four top-performing teams from Psyonix's Collegiate Rocket League competition in a head-to-head exhibition, Sunday, April 7, beginning at 3 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. CT. This inaugural ELEAGUE CRL Spring Invitational will be live streamed across Twitch and ELEAGUE.com. Additionally, TBS will televise a feature show highlighting the showdown's top moments, Friday, April 12, at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
Additionally, AXE and ELEAGUE will create custom content features, including You're Hotter When You're Chill presented by AXE, which features players in candid conversations about how they keep calm during critical in-game situations. These features will be integrated within live and on demand coverage throughout the year across tournaments and on ELEAGUE's social pages.
