Samsung sponsors Team Envy and Dallas Fuel

Samsung has a considerable workforce and infrastructure in the state of Texas, including a $17 billion (£13.8 billion) Samsung Austin Semiconductor manufacturing plant that employs more than 10,000 people. Envy Gaming is based out of Dallas, as are both the Fuel and the organisation’s Call of Duty League franchise, Dallas Empire, which seems to not be included in the deal.
