“After an incredible 2013, we were determined to raise our game further still in 2014, and we couldn’t be happier to be partnering with Razer for every Insomnia Festival in 2014,” said Craig Fletcher, CEO & founder of Multiplay. “Razer´s energy, drive and strong brand resonate with our customers, and this partnership allows us to further expand our plans for another fantastic year ahead.”
Min-Liang Tan, co-founder, CEO and creative director of Razer, said: “We here at Razer take our Motto,“For Gamers. By Gamers,” very seriously, especially when it comes to the highest levels of competitive gaming and the gaming lifestyle. Partnering up again with Multiplay on an event series such as Insomnia was a natural decision for us based on our common interest in eSports and the success of last year´s Insomnia Festivals.”
