Free Fire and Valorant to be featured in the Yuvin Esports Community Cup Season 3
The Yuvin Esports Community Cup Season 3 will commence on March 22, 2021, and will be sponsored by the premium wear Indian brand, ONN by Lux Industries.
This will be the first time for ONN to enter the esports scene. As they have always catered to the needs of the millennials and Gen Z generation, them entering this scene does not come as much of a surprise.
Mr. Saket Todi, President, Marketing, Lux Industries, shared his excitement about engaging with an esports brand for the first time. He stated:
“The Yuvin Community Cup Season 3 was a much-awaited tournament among the youth. It’s a one-of-its-kind esports festival between multiple gaming communities that has driven huge engagements in its last two seasons.”
“ONN, being a youth-centric brand, can resonate with the brand connect of the Yuvin Community Cup. Just as Yuvin Community Cup focuses on churning out leaders, likely, ONN as a brand is focusing on reaching out to a greater mass, understating the consumer sentiments and requirements. By supporting this tournament, we aim to make the products meet the desires and aspirations of the youth. This goes without saying, that both the brands enjoy a high youth appeal and are set to emerge as the most favorite of the new generation.”
Sharang Naicker, Founder & MD of Yuvin Esports, had a few words to share with everyone as well:
“After the grand success of Yuvin Community Cup Season 1 and 2, which attracted over 2.6 mn engagements across various social media platforms, we are aiming higher now. We are extremely encouraged by the amazing response by the audience and looking forward to creating a festival of esports between multiple gaming communities, breaking the geographical barriers, and reaching out to the South Asian region. Stay tuned for the amazing times through Yuvin Community Cup Season 3.”
