HP Inc through its gaming line Victus continues to support the esports industry by partnering with Riot Games’ VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Pacific 2023 as its official gaming PC partner. Participating teams will compete in the tournament using OMEN by HP 45L gaming desktops, which equip hardcore gamers with top-of-the-line processing systems, enhanced thermal efficiency, and extreme performance and customization that allows gaming experience at the max settings.
