Samsung is seemingly getting more and more involved in the gaming and esports scenes. The Odyssey gaming monitors became the T1 esports team's official displays a couple of weeks ago, and Samsung recently explained why its QLED TVs are the best choices for gamers. Now, Samsung is promoting its SSD solutions in partnership with League of Legends developer, Riot Games, and one of North America's most popular esports leagues, the LCS.
Samsung's new partnership with the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) will see players compete on PCs equipped with Samsung's latest NVMe M.2 SSDs from the 970 series. The SSD lineup consists of the 970 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, and 970 PRO.
According to Riot Games, every millisecond matters in our broadcast, in our players' performances, and […] in Samsung, we found a partner who holds that same commitment to top quality.
Launching a new LCS segment to find the best players: Samsung SSD Fast Five
As part of this new collaboration, Samsung is helping LCS launch a new segment called Samsung SSD Fast Five. The company will track the performance of players every week throughout the summer to see how quickly they reach key benchmarks.
Samsung SSD Fast Five will culminate at the Summer Playoffs when LCS and the Korean tech giant will announce the Fast Five all-star team made up of the best League of Legends players in each position. Check the LoL Esports page from June 12 to watch the competition online.
