In August 2023, AGON by AOC, one of the leading monitor brands worldwide renowned for its high-quality gaming monitors, entered a collaboration with Sheffield Wednesday Football Club to equip their new Esports Arena. This partnership symbolises a significant step in bringing together the worlds of gaming, esports and football.
As part of this collaboration, AGON by AOC has supplied the arena with essential equipment from its AOC Gaming line-up: six 27” Q27G2E/BK with QHD resolution and sixteen of the ultimate 24” battle station models 24G2SPAE/BK. These monitors are tailored to meet the demands of esports players, offering the high precision and clarity needed for competitive play. The monitors provided are designed to handle the rigors of intense gaming sessions, ensuring that every detail is crisp and every response is quick.
The Esports Arena is set to be a venue for various gaming events, bridging the gap between football fans and the gaming community. The involvement is focussed on supporting these events by providing reliable, high-quality gaming equipment. As Sheffield Wednesday ventures into the esports realm with their team competing in the FIFA 23 Global Series and the Virtual Pro League, AGON by AOC is proud to be a part of this journey.
Paul Butler, Regional Sales Director – UK & Ireland, AOC International (Europe), believes that this collaboration will set a benchmark in the fusion of traditional sports and esports, offering an exciting new platform for gaming talents and fans: “Last August, our partnership with Sheffield Wednesday’s Esports Arena came to fruition, with AOC stepping in as the official gaming monitor provider. Our contribution of about two dozen AGON by AOC esports monitors will unleash everyone’s gaming potential. For us at AOC this collaboration is a perfect match, blending our passion for gaming with the thrilling world of esports. We cannot wait to see the arena buzz with action-packed events and becoming a hotspot for gaming in Sheffield for gaming enthusiasts and footie fans alike. Let the adventure begin!”
AGON by AOC is committed to supporting the growth of esports and gaming communities. Partnering with Sheffield Wednesday’s Esports Arena is a move that aligns with AGON by AOC’s goals of supporting emerging esports platforms worldwide.
