SteelSeries joins forces with CGN Esports
Cologne, April 29, 2026 – CGN Esports is proud to announce a new multi-year partnership with SteelSeries, one of the leading brands in gaming and esports peripherals.
As part of the collaboration, SteelSeries becomes the official peripherals partner of CGN Esports, equipping our VALORANT roster, JannisZ, and selected creators with high-performance gear across mice, keyboards, headsets, and mousepads.
The partnership focuses on more than just performance. Together, CGN and SteelSeries will develop campaigns, activations, and content formats designed to connect esports with broader gaming culture across the DACH region. Online and offline touchpoints will play a key role, with a strong focus on community engagement and authentic storytelling.
CGN continues to build on strong momentum across its core titles. In VALORANT, the team remains one of the most successful in the region, most recently winning VCL 2026 GSA Stage 1. In League of Legends, CGN secured a Prime League title in its debut year, while in Fortnite, JannisZ continues to represent the organization at the highest international level as a three-time FNCS Champion.
“SteelSeries is one of the most iconic brands in esports. But for us, this partnership goes far beyond performance. It’s about shared passion for the game and a deep connection to the community. Together, we want to bring the brand closer to our fans, create real moments—online and offline—and shape the future of gaming culture in the GSA region,” said David Dick, COO of CGN Esports
