Seasonic has been in business for over 40 years and entered the gaming market early on as one of the first manufacturers of PC power supplies. In 2005, the company became the first to achieve an 80 Plus Certification, which means Seasonic power supplies cut energy consumption by 15 per cent to 25 per cent without costly, time-consuming redesigns of the entire computer.
Seasonic commented briefly on the partnership on its website, saying: “We are honoured that G2 has chosen us to power the systems of their teams and world-class players. For decades, Seasonic has supported gamers by producing top-tier PC power supplies and now joining forces with G2 will propel us both to achieve new heights.”
Esports Insider says: Energy-efficient power supplies are a must-have for competitive PC gaming, especially for a team that practises for hours at a time. G2 has collected an impressive list of performance-based partners such as NVIDIA and AORUS, which is nothing but a good thing.
