Mate Mate is an energy drink brand from Singapore that uses natural ingredients such as mate tea, a caffeine-rich herbal tea that is popular in South America.
Energy drinks are a pretty popular and common partnership avenue for many esports organizations. Some popular brands include Glytch, Red Bull, Monster, Rock Star, and Gfuel.
It has become such a profitable avenue that 100 Thieves Co-founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag even launched his own energy drink company Juvee late last year.
The partnership between Team SMG and Mate Mate will provide new opportunities for both organizations. It will also provide players with an energy drink made with natural ingredients.
