— May 2, 2023 — Tech
A list of corporate sponsors for the next Race to World First tournament has been released by Echo Esports. The event, called the Aberrus the Shadowed Crucible Race, will be held on May 10th and will feature notable sponsors like SecretLab, Elgato, Displate, Curseforge, Starforge Systems, Fractal Design, Red Bull, Twitch, U.GG, and Gains for Gamers.

Echo will use Race to World First to collect money for charity, as it has done in previous years. The guild claims that through its esports events, it has earned more than $135,000 for the non-profit organization Rise Above the Disorder, which focuses on mental health.

All of Echo Esports' commercial partners for the Aberrus the Shadowed Crucible Race will be highlighted throughout the event on the guild's content pieces.
