Surprising Duo – AORUS Teams Up with Football Star Sergio Agüero in Esports

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, Jan. 28, 2021 — The gaming fever has been sweeping the football world as of late. Manchester City’s star striker Sergio Agüero is one of the top athletes who takes his games very seriously, both on and off the field. As a huge gamer himself, Agüero has been actively participating in competitive gaming during the pandemic through livestreaming games such as FIFA. His livestream was an instant hit, attracting tens of thousands of fans, followers and gamers to watch online.

Agüero’s love for gaming does not end there as he takes another step forward and extends his passion to the field of pro esports. Devoting a significant amount of time and effort to the esports industry, the global football superstar recently founded a wholly-owned franchise named KRU Esports. The team is planning to enter prominent tournaments and leagues in FIFA 21, Valorant, Rocket League, and CS:GO in the near future.

During an interview, Agüero mentioned that for most of his life he played football, a sport which he enjoyed wholeheartedly. He hopes his fans could also devote themselves to what they love and enjoy. That is the main reason why he founded KRU Esports to help those who are as passionate about esports as he is to make their esports dreams come true.

To compete at the highest level of technologically demanding games, the team needs the best technology and hardware to power the players. Agüero learned about AORUS, a top-tier gaming brand powered by GIGABYTE that offers some of the most premium PC hardware with impeccable performance. Through common interests, two parties got in touch and hit it off from the start.

"Years of innovation by Sungrow as a global technology leader now allows companies like Astral Electricity to deploy market-driven solutions that will accelerate the decarbonization of electricity supplies while also improving grid performance. Sungrow’s highly-integrated offering, history of successful deployment and collaboration with technology providers were key factors in our supplier decision. We are looking forward Sungrow’s product providing reliable operations for many years to come," commented Aaron Zubaty, CEO of MAP RE/ES.

"The landmark Chisholm Grid energy storage project is another exciting milestone in the US energy storage market which is strongly positioned for immense growth," said Mizhi Zhang, Managing Director of Energy Storage, Sungrow Americas. "We’re poised to pioneer more energy storage innovations backed by the industry’s largest R&D team and 24-year proven track record. Our agile local team can offer responsive technical support, sales and industry-leading after-sales service," he added.

As one of the key players in the energy storage market, Sungrow is an early entrant in the North American storage market with a deployment footprint spreading across multiple states including California, Massachusetts and Texas, achieving milestones both in the utility scale storage market as well as the C&I market where Sungrow currently maintains a strong position in North America.

Indian Army signs a $20 million contract with ideaForge to procure SWITCH UAV

SWITCH UAV is an indigenous system built to cater for the most demanding surveillance operations of the Indian Forces. This Fixed Wing VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) UAV can be deployed at high altitude and harsh environments for day and night surveillance in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. It is man-portable and has the highest time on target compared to any other UAV in its class. 

Speaking on the development, ideaForge CEO, Ankit Mehta said, "SWITCH UAV is the culmination of insights and knowledge we have gained over years of experience in helping the Indian Forces operationalize UAVs in their ranks. The trials saw about a dozen national and global players compete to meet the operational requirements. SWITCH UAV is the only product that cleared the Indian Army’s stringent product trials and surpassed expectations. It is a testimony of the fact that our systems are built like a bird and tested like a tank. Our systems are fully ready to serve nations that seek to protect their territorial sovereignty."

"A combination of world-class technology and a deep understanding of customer requirements has resulted in ideaForge bagging this contract against global competition. With the backing of reputed institutional investors such as WRVI, Infosys and Qualcomm, ideaForge is all set to grow rapidly. We plan to work with like-minded investors and partners to achieve our vision of premier drone company serving enterprise, security and surveillance market globally," said Ganapathy Subramaniam, Partner – WRVI Venture Capital who also serves as Executive Chairman – ideaForge.
