Living Essentials, LLC, the makers of 5-hour ENERGY® shots, announces the company’s sponsorship of Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), North America’s premier eSports organization, fielding players that compete at the highest levels in the most popular competitive video games. This sponsorship, along with the recent deal with the Detroit Renegades, further expands 5-hour ENERGY®’s presence in the eSports arena.

As part of the deal, a CLG team house will be renamed the 5-hour ENERGY® house, complete with custom branding. In addition, CLG will activate the “Choose Your Extra Strength” campaign, where fans will vote on their favorite jersey design that is based off one of the Extra Strength 5-hour ENERGY® flavors. CLG’s League of Legends team will reveal the jersey during the NA LCS Summer Split. The sponsorship also includes specialized video content, apparel branding, social media activations and giveaways.

“Living Essentials’ sponsorship of CLG gives us exposure to a broader fan base, who are incredibly enthusiastic about the brands that support eSports,” said Melissa Skabich, Communications Director, Living Essentials. “The CLG deal, in addition to the one we already have in place with the Detroit Renegades, reinforces our commitment to eSports, and we’re so excited to launch the engaging programs we have planned for this sponsorship.”

“We are ecstatic to help Living Essentials further their efforts in the gaming industry,” said John Spiher, Director of Business Development for CLG. “Teaming up with them gives us incredible opportunities for both our players and fans to fully experience 5-hour ENERGY®. This sponsorship is a major development both for CLG and eSports as a whole.”
