Acer links with Garena

Next year the computer company will concentrate its business on small and medium-sized enterprises and the education and enterprise markets.

Nitipat Praweenwongwuthi, an associate director of marketing at Acer, said the gaming market had high potential.   The firm therefore had joined forces with Garena Online (Thailand) to support this market.

As a first step, the company has set up an “Acer Green Team” to join various regional and national competitions, aiming for an international gaming championship. Garena is responsible for organising contests in the Heroes of Newerth game and upgrading players’ skills. Meanwhile, Acer will provide devices and technology for an HoN Cafe Tournament, and will co-sponsor a Thailand e-Sport League.
