The new deal will see Razer server as the official Tournament Sponsor for League of Legends at all Insomnia festivals in 2014. The new deal will start with Insomnia51, which runs from April 18 to April 21 at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena, this partnership bolsters an on-going relationship between Multiplay and Razer, which began with Razer’s sponsorship commitments with Insomnia last year. It also guarantees some of the largest League of Legends prize pools in the UK for the year.

“After an incredible 2013, we were determined to raise our game further still in 2014, and we couldn’t be happier to be partnering with Razer for every Insomnia Festival in 2014,” said Craig Fletcher, CEO & founder of Multiplay. “Razer’s energy, drive and strong brand resonate with our customers, and this partnership allows us to further expand our plans for another fantastic year ahead.”

Min-Liang Tan, co-founder, CEO and creative director of Razer, said: ”We here at Razer take our Motto, “For Gamers. By Gamers,” very seriously, especially when it comes to the highest levels of competitive gaming and the gaming lifestyle.
