Esports organisation Method has officially partnered with American gaming hardware manufacturer Glorious, designating the brand as its official peripheral partner. The collaboration centers on supplying Method’s competitive roster with enthusiast-grade headsets, keyboards, and mice ahead of their marathon broadcast campaign for the upcoming MMO event at World of Warcraft, Race to World First: The Venomous Abyss.
Aside from integrating its current hardware ecosystem into Method’s immediate competitive operations, the peripheral manufacturer also teased an impending expansion of its product suite, with dedicated collaborative showcases scheduled to be revealed in the near future.

Pat Wachendorf, Chief Executive Officer at Glorious, stated that the alignment is intended to validate their performance gear under the most intense parameters possible, describing Method’s signature tournament circuit as one of the most grueling structural tests in competitive gaming. Wachendorf emphasised that the developer looks forward to sustaining the roster’s extended raid progression with wireless and mechanical technology specifically designed to keep them fully connected without the operational need to pause and recharge hardware.
The immediate integration of the equipment serves as a primary logistical milestone for Method’s upcoming content strategy. Liam Whitehead, Head of Partnerships at Method, highlighted the specific attention to detail and build quality embedded across the new peripheral line, expressing enthusiasm for showcasing the collaborative gear to their active gaming audience. The marathon structure of the Race to World First will serve as a continuous high-visibility launchpad for both current hardware iterations and Glorious’s unannounced product lines.
The agreement with Glorious builds directly upon a sustained period of commercial momentum for Method since 2025. This growth phase has yielded several prominent brand integrations, including major partnerships with display manufacturer AGON by AOC and cybersecurity provider ExpressVPN. Method’s commercial expansion has been spearheaded by Whitehead, whose acquisition push helped him to earn an industry nomination for Rising Star in Esports at the The Esports Radar‘s inaugural Esports Leaders Honours’ 2025-26 ceremony.
