The first steps of the partnership already took place in 2025. Following successful initial activations — including the ZOWIE Aim Challenge on ZOWIE monitors during the VCL VALORANT DACH Finals in Berlin — the collaboration has now developed into a long-term sponsorship agreement.
The first steps of the partnership already took place in 2025. Following successful initial activations — including the ZOWIE Aim Challenge on ZOWIE monitors during the VCL Valorant DACH Finals in Berlin — the collaboration has now developed into a long-term sponsorship agreement. In addition, the CGN Experience areas at MediaMarktSaturn XPERION Cologne (Hansaring) is already fully equipped with ZOWIE monitors, offering visitors professional-grade setups comparable to those used in competitive esports.
At the core of the sponsorship is the support of CGN’s VALORANT team across training and competition. ZOWIE equips players, bootcamps and training environments with high-performance monitors, creating optimal conditions for top-level performance.
The partnership is further strengthened by joint content and activation formats. CGN Esports combines esports, performance and entertainment — together with ZOWIE, CGN will deliver year-round content around competitive gaming, setup performance, and creator-driven formats featuring players and selected content creators.
The partnership also opens up potential for additional synergies within the international esports ecosystem: in VALORANT, CGN Esports works closely with Team Heretics, an organization also supported by ZOWIE.
“ZOWIE is one of the most relevant brands in competitive gaming. Supporting our VALORANT team with professional hardware is a clear benefit for our players and our performance ambitions.”
David Dick, COO & Co-Owner, CGN Esports
“CGN Esports combines one of the loudest fanbases in the DACH region with top-tier performance as VALORANT record champions, driven by the clear ambition to compete internationally again in 2026. As the official monitor partner, we support the team with our hardware and see strong potential in the mix of performance, fan closeness and creators for impactful activations.”
Dennis Jansen, Marketing Lead Esports, ZOWIE
