Bucks Gaming and Spectrum Industries will request submissions from nonprofits and high schools that are looking to begin an esports program, with the winning location receiving esports equipment to support the development or growth of the program. More information on this initiative will be announced at a later date.

Bucks Gaming will also work with Spectrum Industries to collaborate on esports furniture and products that best suit professional and at-home gamers’ needs, from comfort to usage. Bucks Gaming players and staff will work closely with Spectrum Industries to develop and enhance its current esports product lines by sharing ideas, helping with design and going through the testing and group sampling process.
