HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas is the flagship venue of Allied Esports, with HyperX also owning naming rights to the company’s Esports Truck. The gaming division of Kingston Technology Company expanded its naming rights deal with Allied Esports in March to include two European properties.

In September, Allied Esports entered a multi-year partnership with digital media company LiveXLive Media. The deal sees the companies activate around LiveZone, a travelling studio that now operates out of Allied Esports’ HyperX Esports Trucks.
