MMORPG-first esports organization Method has officially partnered with SCAN, one of Europe’s leading PC builders, for the upcoming Midnight Season 1 Race to World First (RWF). The collaboration grants high-performance infrastructure for the organization’s flagship competitive event.
As part of the launch, SCAN has introduced three brand-new PC bundles tailored to various performance tiers. The partnership also emphasizes SCAN’s unique “Live Build” service, which allows customers to watch their specific systems being assembled in real-time.
Liam Whitehead, Head of Partnerships at Method, commented on the deal: “SCAN is synonymous in the UK as the go-to PC hardware brand for your next build… We’re incredibly excited to have SCAN back supporting Method for our Race to World First and the launch of the Midnight expansion.”
The SCAN agreement is the latest in a series of commercial wins for Method since 2025. In the last months, the organization has aggressively expanded its partner roster, securing deals with AGON by AOC, serving as the official gaming monitor provider, Instant Gaming, supporting digital content initiatives and storefront integration, and Sword of Justice: A direct entry and promotional partnership with NetEase Games’ MMORPG.
In mid-2025, Sam Hibbert—a well-known figure in the UK scene following a seven-year tenure at National Student Esports (NSE)—joined SCAN as Head of Pro Gaming. Hibbert’s transition to the hardware sector has been viewed as a move to bridge the gap between Tier-1 esports organizations and retail hardware, a strategy clearly reflected in this high-stakes RWF collaboration.
