Founded in 2007, AndaSeat has been exclusive chair provider for the Chinese National football and volleyball teams but has shifted its attention to esports in recent years, partnering with ahq eSports Club, LGD Gaming, and OMG eSports.
Zhou Lin, CEO and Founder of AndaSeat added: “AndaSeat is proud to bring our ergonomic technology to support Fnatic’s excellence in their way of world championships and their vision of combining channels through which young people communicate with the world’s leading and forward-thinking brands.
“The integration of AndaSeat chairs into Fnatic teams is an important step for our long-term partnership, and our commitment demonstrates an increasing maturity in the adoption of professional gaming chairs for gamers.”
Esports Insider says: Organisations joining forces with chair manufacturers is certainly nothing new in esports, with new partnerships seemingly emerging every other day. It will be interesting to see how the two parties will be able to stand out in a highly-competitive area of the industry.
