Electronic sports organization G2 Esports has announced a collaboration agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery and, more specifically, with its DC brand. As noted in a new blog post, we’re informed that this deal will kick off with a League of Legends-branded jersey to wear at the Mid-Season Invitational in London in May, and as to what makes it unique, it features a design which mirrors one of the most iconic comic book villains of all time, the Joker.
The post notes that this Joker jersey will be followed by another branded jersey for the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Paris Major (which will also take place in May), although this one has yet to be announced.
“At G2, there’s nothing we love more than great stories and we’ve always had great admiration for the DC Comics universe,” said Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 Esports. “For this MSI World Championship, we’ve found the natural Joker persona to storm the competition with our unexpected drafts. We can’t wait for the G2 Army to see what we have planned for them.”
The team concluded by mocking themselves, adding: “With this collaboration, it’s time to find out if our outfits are the only thing Superman can’t wear.”
