Honda and Esports

Honda has a significant presence in gaming and #esports, as the exclusive #automotive partner of #teamliquid and the Riot Games #leagueoflegends Championship Series. In addition, Honda's gaming strategy includes a #partnership with #twitch, where the Honda Head2Head gaming channel, now in its third season, is the exclusive auto-branded channel on the platform.

With Twitch's average daily visitors reaching 17.5 million, Honda aims to grab the attention of the audience behind the explosive growth of #esports. These deeply enthusiastic fans share a similar passion for Civic, making the nameplate America's most popular among all vehicles with Millennial, Gen Z and multicultural consumers3. Honda's integration of the all-new Civic on its Head2Head #twitch channel one-ups the brand's commitment in the gaming space.

The Civic reveal on Honda's Head2Head #twitch channel will be hosted by Rachel Seltzer and MonsterDface. The hosts will be joined by eight participants: Four top Fortnite players and four top #twitch streamers, including Benjyfishy, SypherPK, Jordan Fisher, Dakotaz, and more.
