RRQ Signs ZOWIE as Equipment Partner for VCT Pacific 2026 Season
Indonesian esports organization RRQ announced ZOWIE, the BenQ gaming peripherals brand, as its official equipment partner for the 2026 VALORANT Champions Tour Pacific season. The deal includes jersey placement and co-branded content across RRQ's social channels. ZOWIE has built a VCT presence across multiple Pacific teams this cycle. Financial terms were not disclosed but team-level hardware deals in the VCT Pacific tier typically range from $80K to $250K per season.
THE BREAKDOWN
Endemic hardware brands remain the most consistent deal category in esports, and ZOWIE is one of the most active buyers in the Pacific region right now. For gaming creators and teams negotiating peripheral partnerships, the RRQ structure is a visible benchmark: jersey placement, co-branded social, and platform exclusivity for the season duration. If your client is negotiating a similar deal without jersey placement, that is a term to push for in the next cycle. Hardware brands in this tier are not price-sensitive to a jersey addition if the distribution upside justifies it.
