Verizon Signs Sponsorship Deal With Amazon.com's Twitch Rivals
The vivid red check mark and bold company name that comprise Verizon's (NYSE: VZ) logo will be hoisted in battle -- virtual battle, that is. The telecom giant announced Wednesday that it is now the official 5G and 4G LTE partner of Twitch Rivals, the video game tournament operated by online gaming platform Twitch, which is owned by Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN).
Verizon is making a clear play at being associated with competitive gaming. Last month it announced it had reached a similar arrangement with FaZe Clan, a well-known organization in that field, and in June it signed a multi-year partnership with Tencent Holdings' (OTC: TCEHY) Riot Games to be its "official 5G Wireless and Network Service Partner" for its League of Legends Championship Series.
