Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite and longest standing esports organizations, announced an official partnership with WinStar World Casino and Resort, one of the largest casinos in the world, making it the exclusive casino of Complexity Gaming. This marks the first time that a U.S. esports organization has designated a casino as their official sponsor.

“WinStar is a preeminent gaming and entertainment venue, and we are excited for them to become our exclusive casino partner,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO, Complexity Gaming. “This partnership signals a significant shift in the esports sphere toward making competitive gaming entertainment even more mainstream.”

Esports is the fastest growing segment of media and entertainment and is rapidly gaining traction in the U.S., especially among adult audiences. While ages 18 to 34 comprise the largest demographic, esports viewership is beginning to skew older, with nearly one in three esports viewers being between the ages of 35 to 54. Additionally, online streaming platforms, like Twitch and YouTube have a larger audience base — for gaming alone — than HBO, Netflix, and ESPN have combined.

“The high-energy and competitive nature of esports aligns with our focus on creating unique, high-energy gaming and entertainment experiences for our patrons,” said Jack Parkinson, WinStar general manager. “Complexity’s forward-thinking and innovative approach to one of the fastest growing genres of mainstream entertainment is a natural fit as we look toward remaining at the forefront of the gaming industry.”

As part of this partnership, Complexity players will have access to WinStar’s various amenities, including the hotel, golf courses and concerts, and will make routine appearances at the casino and other events, while WinStar has the option to host biannual boot camps and “meet-and-greets,” where Complexity players could interact with fans and train before large events.

In September, the Dallas Cowboys announced WinStar as the Official Casino of the Dallas Cowboys, making it the first-ever NFL team to announce an official casino designation.

LG UltraGear 21:9 Gaming Monitor Delivers Powerful Performance, Unrivaled Picture Quality, Fast Processing at DreamHack Gaming Competition

LG Electronics USA is partnering with FaZe Clan, the most popular esports team in the world, to host a no-holds-barred gaming competition that will mark the global debut of LG’s new UltraGear™ 21:9 gaming monitor, the company’s most powerful gaming display ever.

The competition, which will take place at DreamHack Atlanta, will feature the blockbuster battle royale title – “PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS” (PUBG) – and will officially kick off with an appearance by FaZe Clan team members FaZe Mxey and FaZe FuzzFace. Other FaZe Clan members, FaZe Teeqo and FaZe Dirty, also will participate in the competition that will pit selected DreamHack attendees against the pros.

The winner-take-all tournament will take place on LG’s new high-performance 34-inch UltraWide gaming monitor (model 34GK950G) that offers superb picture quality and the highest level of immersion for gamers and consumers alike.

The flagship UltraGear 34GK950G-B is designed for immersive, high-performance gaming thanks to its curved, virtually borderless 34-inch Nano IPS display that covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space offering crystal clear UltraWide QHD (3440 x 1440) image rendering. The 21:9 wide aspect ratio display also accurately recreates colors across over 135 percent of the sRGB color space. With NVIDIA G-Sync™ graphic processing technology built-in, the UltraGear 34GK950G is designed to provide smooth motion graphics without tearing or stuttering. What’s more, its high refresh rate of 120Hz (overclocked) means that objects are rendered more clearly for smoother gameplay and seamless visual fluidity. Gamers also can create their own unique ambiance with Sphere Lighting that boasts six color settings to complement any game or movie.

“LG has developed its most powerful gaming monitor yet, offering high definition and high refresh rate that combine to create the most immersive gaming experience possible,” said David VanderWaal, senior vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. “Like LG, FaZe Clan sets the benchmark for performance in the esports world and partnering with them to introduce our newest gaming monitor demonstrates LG’s commitment to providing consumers the ultimate gaming experience.”

The PUBG Invitational will commence with an open round of competition where fans will play against one another in an open bracket style tournament for the opportunity to play against FaZe Clan team members. The entire tournament will be livestreamed via Twitch, and those watching the action are encouraged to engage by using the hashtags #LGUltraGear and #DHATL18.

The competition will culminate with a final faceoff between fans and FaZe Clan members, where they will compete for an ultimate gaming package Grand Prize, built around the new LG UltraGear monitor.

The 34GK950G-B will be available at a special Black Friday price of $1199.99 starting on November 16th through Amazon. It will be available at other retailers including, B&H, Beach Camera, and Adorama in the days that follow*.

DreamHack attendees are encouraged to visit LG’s booth (102) at the opening of the show (Nov. 16-18) to check out LG’s newest gaming monitor as well as to participate in the PUBG Invitational and meet members of FaZe Clan.
