Maika’i is a gaming-focused brand that provides “high-end travel-gear,” making it incredibly useful for Cloud9’s players. It currently competes in League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, Fortnite, Hearhtstone, PUBG Mobile, Rainbow Six Siege, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Teamfight Tactics, and World of Warcraft.

Maika’i is also a sponsor of the Esports Awards, which just announced a deal with Lexus for its fourth annual event on November 16th.

Esports Insider says: After recently expanding its merchandise offering into Europe, Cloud9 has made a smart move by selling items that target hardcore gamers. It’s also nice to see the organisation selling more creative items in addition to the traditional choice of jerseys and hoodies.
