They will be supporting the production the event with their high performance gaming hardware as well as promoting ASM2022 to their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethan Levy, Coordinator at AusSpeedruns, said \u201cAusSpeedruns greatly welcomes the support of HyperX for our 2022 events. Having the support of fantastic organisations like HyperX helps us achieve our core goals of building a stronger speedrunning community here in Australia, and raising more money for wonderous causes like Game On Cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is important HyperX is an active citizen and has a positive impact on our communities, so the team is proud to be the major sponsor for Cure Cancer and AusSpeedruns 2022 events in Australia. It makes sense for us to support causes like this that do such amazing work and inspire the good in the gaming community, aligning with the concept that \u2018We\u2019re All Gamers\u2019,” said HyperX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shane Bailey, Head of Gaming & Streaming at Cure Cancer, said, \u201cOur team is thrilled to be partnering with the AusSpeedruns community once again, this time for ASM2022.
