Blacklyte and StarLadder partner up for the Budapest Major 2025.

Blacklyte is the official furniture partner for the upcoming StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. This partnership will see Blacklyte provide premium-grade desks and chairs to the CS2 players throughout the tournament.

All the player setups at the StarLadder Budapest Major, which include the on-stage booths and backstage practice areas, will have Blacklyte Athena Pro Gaming Chairs and the Blacklyte Atlas Lite Standing Desks.

Both the chair and the standing desk are “designed specifically for professional esports environments,” according to Blacklyte. The StarLadder Budapest Major will be a long CS2 tournament, featuring 32 teams from around the world, three Swiss group stages, and the playoffs.

Blacklyte has worked with big esports teams in the past, including Team Liquid and Fnatic in recent years. And, this partnership with StarLadder is yet another milestone for the company.

Alex Liu, founder and CEO of Blacklyte, and Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Head of Sales & Partnerships at StarLadder, commented on the partnership.

Alex Liu:

Comfort and stability are crucial in high-pressure matches. We’re excited to support the players at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 with gear that’s built for champions.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov:

Blacklyte’s dedication to quality, design, and player comfort makes them the ideal partner for the Major. We’re proud to showcase their products on the biggest stage of the CS2 season

In addition to providing premium-grade desks and chairs to the 192 players and head coaches attending the StarLadder Budapest Major, fans will also be able to experience the same products used by the pros.

If you’re attending the event, you can check out the Blacklyte Playzone, try the products, and take home exclusive merch. You can check more details about this activation on Blacklyte’s account on X.

The StarLadder Budapest Major will utilize two different venues. Stages 1, 2, and 3 (November 24th to December 7th) will take place at MTK Sportpark. The playoffs (December 11th to 14th), on the other hand, will take place at MVM Dome.
