The competitive Counter-Strike scene continues to heat up, and in the wake of successful events at the IEM Atlanta & Rio 2026, ESL has announced a partnership with AutoFull for the Pro Tour 2026-2027 season. This marks the beginning of a collaboration between the two organizations, which will see AutoFull decking out the biggest CS circuit on the planet with their products.
As part of the partnership, AutoFull will be providing two of their best models of chair to athletes as they travel the globe and compete for esports supremacy. To celebrate the announcement, AutoFull wants to help equip gamers everywhere with a top-quality chair at a very reasonable price.
AutoFull Encourages Gamers To Be Their Own Hero
Bursting on the scene in 2014, AutoFull quickly established itself as a heavy hitter on the gaming equipment scene. Specializing in high-performance gear, such as esports chairs, desks, cabins and more, the brand has supported nearly 2,000 gaming tournaments, and hundreds of teams globally with their products.
AutoFull’s products are backed by research that focuses on solving some of the common obstacles for gamers, embodying their motto to “Be Your Own Hero”. They’ve made advances in technology like dynamic tracking lumbar support, massage functionality, and cushions that can be ventilated or heated, allowing athletes to focus on the task at hand.
AutoFull Named The Official Gaming Chair Partner of ESL Pro Tour ‘26-’27
The ESL Pro Tour is one of the biggest esports events on the annual calendar, and takes the best Counter-Strike players in the world to a number of iconic locations across the globe to battle it out across a number of events. The Pro Tour encompasses multiple tiers of competitive FPS action, highlighted by the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), ESL Pro League, and ESL Challenger League. Their biggest event, the ESL Grand Slam, pits the best of the best against each other, as the winner of the Pro Tour Championship and Masters events go head-to-head.
With the stakes as high as they are and the competition as fierce as it is, it’s only natural that the athletes competing are going to need the best equipment possible. With AutoFull being named the official partner of the ESL Pro Tour and IEM for 2026 and 2027, competitors will take comfort in knowing they have high-quality products at their disposal to minimize distractions and maximize performance.
AutoFull’s partnership with the ESL Pro Tour will put two of their best products front and center for the biggest Counter-Strike events of the year. For the duration of the collaboration, athletes will be making use of the company’s M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair and M6 Ultra 2.0 Ergonomic Gaming Chair. These chairs will be used for the following events;
- Intel Extreme Masters (for all flagship events, including the highly-anticipated tournaments in Cologne from 6/18 and Krakow from 01/27).
- ESL Pro League 2026-2027
- ESL Challenger League, which is the pathway to the pros for countless rising stars.
AutoFull’s M6 Ultra 2.0 and M6 Ultra+ 2.0 On Show Throughout The ESL Pro Tour
Athletes in the ESL Pro Tour will be making use of two of AutoFull’s premium products as they compete, which will strive to provide them with the support and comfort they need to perform at their best. The two chairs that will be sponsoring the event are the M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair, and the M6 Ultra Ergonomic Gaming Chair, which is also available to the public, so you can experience the best in gaming chairs, just like the athletes.
The M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair is the First of its Kind
The AutoFull M6 Ultra+ 2.0 is the world’s first Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair, which you can get your hands on yourself via AutoFull’s official site or Amazon, and boasts some significant advantages. It was the official chair of the IEM Atlanta 2026, and is built around a number of core features, including;
- Built-in back and leg massage: the chair includes a professional core massage system, providing 15mm of deep tissue penetration and 30r/min high-frequency kneading to reduce tension in common pain points.
- Ventilated and heated seating: the cushion on the chair is climate-controlled, boasting a triple-action system for ventilation, heating, and massage.
- Dynamic lumbar support: the back of the chair can be adjusted 6 ways, with 60mm front/back adjustment, 50mm vertical adaptive adjustment, and 5° adaptive tilt rotation
- 720° mechanical armrests: the armrests offer unrivaled arm support, enabling users to adjust them up/down, front/back, fold them up, or rotate the main axis 720° and secondary axis 40°.
The product also includes head and neck support with its 3D cloud headrest, and can recline 160° to enable rest breaks for athletes. Its slick black color is simple but effective, ensuring the attention remains on the athletes and their in-game heroics.
AutoFull’s M6 Ultra Ergonomic Gaming Chair is a Gaming & Tech Lover’s Dream
In addition to the M6 Ultra+ 2.0, AutoFull will also be providing the ESL Pro Tour with their M6 Ultra 2.0. While the M6 Ultra 2.0 doesn’t boast 15mm of deep tissue massage, courtesy of the Ultra+ 2.0’s Shiatsu Massage Lumbar Support, it still offers a premium level of comfort via its 3rd-Gen Active Lumbar Support. It provides all the essential components for comfort and high-performance at a more budget-friendly price.
Like its counterpart, the M6 Ultra sets itself apart from competing brands and products with its positioning as a massage gaming chair with ventilated and heated seat. In addition, the chair is packed with useful features, such as:
- Built-in back and leg massage.
- Dynamic lumbar support.
- 6D, 720° mechanical armrests.
- 160° recline.
