Nighthawk Pro Gaming sponsors NRG Esports and San Francisco Shock

Netgear‘s Nighthawk Pro Gaming has become an official sponsor of North American organisation NRG Esports. This deal will see NRG use products from the Nighthawk Pro Gaming range when training and participating in boot camps at Netgears’s new Nighthawk Pro Gaming lounge.

It’s worth noting that NRG Esports owns the Overwatch League franchise San Francisco Shock, which is one of the many teams that’s included in the sponsorship. Netgear is the sponsor of another OWL team, Seoul Dynasty.
