TALON partnered with Visa to take fans behind the scenes and give them unprecedented access to their teams.
TALON Esports has announced a partnership with credit card service corporation Visa to give exclusive access to fans so they feel closer to where they want to be — right beside their beloved team. As one of the biggest organisations in the Asia-Pacific region, the Hong Kong-based team has been a rising force in the industry.
Under this partnership, TALON’s championship-winning Arena of Valor (Realm of Valor in Thailand) and Dota 2 teams will provide fans with exclusive experiences, including access to the teams, dinners with the players, exclusive merchandise, gaming house experiences, and hospitality event experiences in a specially curated supporters crew package.
Sean Zhang, CEO of TALON, said:
“Esports fans are always on the lookout for new experiences and ways to get closer to their teams. We have an engaged fan base of over 20M fans across Asia Pacific and partnering with Visa represents a significant milestone for TALON Esports. Together with Visa, we are ready to deliver unforgettable moments to our fans and achieve even greater success in the gaming arena."
TALON, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Hong Kong, is currently competing in popular esports titles such as League of Legends, VALORANT, Arena of Valor, and Dota 2.
Most recently, TALON revealed their newest game addition by announcing a Counter-Strike 2 team featuring a core of talented players from Oceania. They succeeded in recruiting former VERTEX players who played under the Bad News Kangaroo banner, addict and Jared “HaZR” O'Bree after the closure of their CS division in early 2024.
With a strong presence in eight markets across Asia Pacific, TALON Esports has garnered a loyal fan base of over 25 million fans and achieved significant success in various regional and international tournaments.
TALON has won over 30 championship titles as an organisation in a variety of titles, including League of Legends, VALORANT, DOTA 2, Rainbow 6 Siege, PUBG Mobile, and Arena of Valor.
