ASTRO & CEO Gaming – 2017 Partnership

 

Fight for your right to compete! With new fighting games on the circuit like Injustice 2, Tekken 7 and Brawlhalla the community is rapidly growing and so is their passion for esports. Today we’re excited to announce our partnership with CEO Gaming to provide an improved tournament audio solution at every station for all of CEO’s 2017 events, including: CEODreamland, CEO 2017, CEOtaku and CEO’s new monthly Citrus Clash LAN in Florida.

 

Who is CEO Gaming?

Community Effort Orlando started out as a combined effort by the Fighting Game Community in Orlando and the rest of the state of Florida to salvage a canceled event. With over 10+ years of tournament experience as both a competitor and tournament organizer, Alex Jebailey used all of his personal resources to give back to something he loves and put together a Major once a year Fighting Game tournament for the State of Florida open to all those willing to travel for competition and the love of the fighting game world. CEO’s main objective now is to bring together fans of the fighting game genre and gaming in general To Compete, Learn and Have Fun. You’ll meet people from all over the world with the same passion as yourself which can make for some pretty fun experiences. 

“I’m extremely excited to continue and forge a long term partnership with ASTRO Gaming for all CEO events in 2017. Last year their team supported CEO with not only their products but people that care about gaming and tournaments just as much as I do. We were able to create a better competitive experience for players so they can hear every sound while competing at our event. This partnership takes things to the next level not just for our CEO Flagship event but our rapidly growing community events with CEOtaku and CEODreamland. This will help make CEO become an even better experience for all Fighting Game players and look forward to giving everyone a chance to check out ASTRO headsets and MixAmps in person.” – CEO Gaming President and Event Director, Alex Jebailey.  

 

Why CEO?

Expanding on their foundation, CEO Gaming has added a third Major LAN and a new monthly series to their annual circuit of events for 2017. By providing a consistent flow of professional tournaments, elaborate productions and outrageous stage antics, CEO is creating an experience unlike any other. At their core, CEO and Alex genuinely care for the community and their attitude aligns closely with ASTRO’s mission statement – to improve the sport of gaming.
