PC performance memory brand Ballistix Gaming has announced a strategic partnership with Overwatch League 
team San Francisco Shock and its parent organization NRG Esports . The deal will last through 2019. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Patrick Soulliere II, global esports and gaming marketing manager for Ballistix, told The Esports Observer that the deal includes jersey logo placement with both teams as well as branded content and fan giveaways.
Over the last year, NRG has signed several partnership deals that cover both organizations including Nighthawk Pro Gaming, Sennheiser Gaming, and Cal Berkeley Esports. This strategy is relatively unique to NRG and the Shock, as the majority of Overwatch League sponsorships are specific to that team. The Shock also has its own sponsorship with Hyperice, while NRG’s list of partners includes Qualcomm, Events DC, OPSeat, and Twitch.
