OpTic Gaming and FaZe Clan secure major car sponsorship

Two of esports largest organizations landed a major deal, as Nissan has become an official partner for both FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming.

The organizations announced their individual partnerships moments apart from each other with videos of different members of their respective orgs.

In a brief video, FaZe’s Alex ‘Adapt’ Pinkevich was the focal figure in announcing that the Japanese automobile manufacturer would now be a sponsor for the popular Clan.

In the same video, Adapt showed off the new 2019 FaZe Clan jerseys, which tout an awesome new design with the Nissan logo printed on the front above the left breast.

“Big surprise, we got Nissan here on the shirt because we’re going to be partnering with them throughout the year,” Adapt said. “They’re going to be helping us to make a lot of dope videos, or giving us some cars for the houses.”

OpTic’s announcement was much more subtle, and showed various members of the Greenwall taking scenic drives around the city.

Though no further information was given, OpTic might have struck a similar deal that included providing vehicles for the team’s house and beyond.

This isn’t the first time vehicle sponsorships have etched their way into esports, as Kia partnered with Riot Game’s LEC while Team Liquid partnered with Honda in January 2019.

It’s a great day for the industry, as two of the most recognized brands in esports showed even more growth in signing with the worldwide auto maker.
