Following its recent launch, the University e-League (UEL) has announced KITKAT CHUNKY as the main sponsor and Official Power Up Partner for its inaugural season. With this partnership, KITKAT CHUNKY sets foot into the most anticipated collegiate esports circuit in Malaysia, while championing an uplifting campaign aimed at giving gamers the quick break they need to re-energize during intense gaming sessions.

The sponsorship marks KITKAT’s ground-breaking venture into the Malaysian esports scene — offering exciting opportunities for student gamers and esports enthusiasts nationwide. Built on its reputation as the ultimate go-to chocolate snack to have a break, KITKAT CHUNKY hopes to ‘power up’ gaming experiences for student gamers and esports enthusiasts nationwide. Acknowledging that their relentless passion for gaming can lead to fatigue. KITKAT CHUNKY aims to encourage gamers to step away from their screen, enjoy a break and “POWER UP” in an effort to feel re-energized before the next round.

Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad Confectionery Business Unit Consumer Marketing Manager Tiffany Tan said:

“Being part of a world that is constantly progressing and evolving, it is often a challenge to recognize the importance of taking well deserved moments of break.

KITKAT CHUNKY acknowledges the challenges that young Malaysian gamers go through; not just in-game, but also life as a gamer in general — which is why KITKAT CHUNKY wishes to play a role and put a smile in the short breaks that gamers need when pushing boundaries to achieve their dreams.”
