Razer joins BLAST Premier as Official Headset Partner in multi-year esports partnership
BLAST has announced a multi-year partnership with Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, which will become the ‘Official Headset Partner’ of BLAST Premier.
Bringing together two brands deeply rooted in competitive gaming, the partnership will come to life for the first time at BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong from 11-15 November 2026, before continuing across future BLAST Premier events.
Razer will feature throughout the BLAST Premier experience, spanning broadcast integrations, digital content and fan-facing activations at arena events, while Razer headsets will be integrated into the competitive environment across the partnership.
The partnership connects BLAST Premier with one of the most established brands in esports. For more than two decades, Razer has worked alongside professional players to develop and test gaming technology built around the demands of competition.
At the centre of the partnership will be the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro, Razer’s flagship competitive gaming headset and the latest generation of its BlackShark line.
Built with competitive performance in mind, the BlackShark V3 Pro was developed with direct input from professional esports players, including Counter-Strike Major champion and Team Razer athlete NiKo, with a focus on sound clarity, communication, noise isolation and comfort during extended competitive play.
According to data cited by Razer from ProSettings.net, more than 775 tracked professional esports players worldwide compete using a Razer headset. The BlackShark line holds both the number one and number two positions among gaming headsets tracked by the site, with the BlackShark V3 Pro currently the most-used headset among its tracked professional Counter-Strike 2 players.
Steve Rossi, Senior Vice President of Brand Partnerships at BLAST:
Razer has a long-standing reputation for building products with competitive players at the center. Bringing Razer headsets to BLAST Premier strengthens the stage environment for our teams and connects one of esports’ most established brands with Counter-Strike fans around the world.
Jeffrey Chau, Global Esports Director at Razer:
Esports is where we prove our technology, learn from the world’s best, and set the standard for competitive performance. BLAST Premier gives us a global Counter-Strike stage to do that consistently. When a round can turn on a single audio cue, players need absolute clarity and total confidence in their gear, and that is what we are bringing to every event.
Fans will get their first opportunity to experience the partnership at BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong, where Razer will have an on-site presence alongside its integration across the event and broadcast. The partnership will then continue across the BLAST Premier circuit, bringing Razer closer to Counter-Strike players and fans around the world.
