LG SUPPORTS GAMERS8 WITH INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES AT BRAND BOOTH

The LG experience booth invites attendees to try out the LG UltraGear monitor: the event’s official monitor 

Jeddah, August 21, 2022 — With only a few weeks left till the grand finale of Gamers8 (G8), the biggest gaming and esports event worldwide, LG is proud to have been both a witness and supporting element to an event of this scale. Being a longtime investor to the growth of the gaming and esports community in Saudi Arabia, LG’s participation in Gamers8 as the festival’s official supplier is an important step towards an everlasting continuation of fostering the community. LG also setup a booth for the duration of the event inviting festival goers, participating and competing gamers, and influencers to experience its latest lineup.

The event exclusively utilizes LG gaming monitors and TVs, including the LG UltraGear and the LG OLED evo TV, with the 27GP850 UltraGear gaming monitor being the event’s official supplier monitor. Earlier in the event, the LG UltraGear was the big screen on which the exciting final rounds of the Fortnite competition were played and broadcast. LG’s support for one of G8 biggest activities, the Fortnite tournament, comes after LG’s partnership with Fortnite earlier in the year to create UltraCity, a creative map based on the UltraGear, as well as LG, launching the regional Fortnite Gaming competition last year which had attracted more than 7,000 participants from the Kingdom alone. 

In addition, the festival also included as part of its various partnerships an STC Academy course offered at its GameDev zone, aiming to teach those interested in game development. Winners of the STC Academy course were also awarded an UltraGear monitor, the event’s official monitor. 

Participating gamers and competing champions are not the only ones who get to experience the UltraGear in its glory at Gamers8. In its uniquely designed brand booth featured throughout the event, LG is inviting event attendees also to be winners, where they could get the chance to experience the UltraGear by testing it with an array of gaming journeys and games to choose from using gaming sets which invite groups to play. Game sounds are delivered crisply by the LG GP9 gaming speakers, where its 3D surround sound enwraps guests into the full experience in the booth. Gamers can also try the LG OLED gaming monitor “OLED 48GQ800” during their visit to the booth. The booth’s gaming zone and the event’s gamers’ rooms utilize LG OLED C1 and C2 TVs. 

LG’s support for Saudi’s gaming community comes not only through its participation in events such as Gamers8 but also through designing products with impressive gaming qualities in mind, such as the UltraGear. “LG’s drive towards its focus on innovation and technology is unparalleled. The UltraGear isn’t just a high-quality monitor that fits certain gaming requirements or criteria; it was also designed by LG with a vision of providing gamers around the world and in Saudi Arabia with the best products in the market,” stated Mr. Jeong, LG Electronics General Manager.
