This is the massage gaming chair being used by every pro gamer at the ESL IEM Atlanta Esports tournament
If you want a gaming chair approved by the butts of every ESL pro gamer, then head over to AutoFull
When it comes to top-tier esports, every detail counts. From precision keyboards and smooth mouse pads to cutting-edge graphics cards, pros leave nothing to chance—but one element often overlooked is the gaming chair. As the dust settles from IEM Atlanta 2026, there’s a renewed spotlight on gaming chairs for Esports athletes, because AutoFull has just been named the official chair partner for competition stages and practice areas for the ESL Pro Tour and the Intel Extreme Masters for 2026-2027.
There are a lot of elements that make a gaming chair worthy of top-level competition. There’s obviously comfort and adjustability, but there’s also ventilation, massage, and heat control, and few brands combine all of these elements quite like AutoFull does.
For instance, all of AutoFull’s gaming chairs take armrest adjustment incredibly seriously - to a degree I’m not sure any other brand does, in fact. Each chair is fitted with 6D, 720° armrests, which go above the typical call of duty for armrests on gaming chairs that move in 4D. AutoFull’s armrests can slant, they can spin, pivot, raise and lower, and even move closer or further away from your body. This is more important than people realise because it allows you to match your sitting position to any desk so that your mouse hand is perfectly positioned to glide around your playing surface.
But that’s literally the tip of the iceberg. The AutoFull flagship is the M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair, which somehow builds on the brand’s stellar M6 offering. All the best features carry over, including the electronic heating and ventilating system, the adjustable lumbar support, the 160 degrees of recline, and the 3D headrest, but now, the M6 will offer you a professional core massage system that’s built into the backrest and legrest. This includes a leg vibration massage that prevents numbness from extended sitting. It's a perfect solution for any gamer, remote worker, or Counter-Strike enthusiast who needs to relieve pressure in their back or improve circulation while spending long hours working on their competitive rank at a desk.
The premium massage element adds yet another luxurious feature to what was already a decked-out gaming throne. We awarded the original AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 4.5/5 stars in our review, with our main criticisms stemming from the fact that its massage features didn’t end up being all too effective, and those adjustable armrests came out of their desired position a little too often. With the refined M6 Ultra+ 2.0, AutoFull has addressed both of those points directly. The massage system has been upgraded from basic vibration massage to a hand-like Shiatsu massage experience, delivering deeper and more effective relief. We also redesigned the armrests to feel firmer and more stable while still maintaining full adjustability. Clearly, this is a brand that takes customer feedback and reviews very seriously.
As if the clever heating, massage, and ventilation of the seat weren’t enough, the premium massage will work to relieve a lot of the tension in your lower back, which will already be in a healthier position thanks to 6-way adapt-tech dynamic lumbar support for your everyday sitting positions.
With a recognition from one of the most prestigious Esports tours on the planet, AutoFull seems to be coming into its own as a gaming chair brand on the global stage right now, and no wonder. It’s in a hotly contested market, where only the most consistent, well-designed, long-lasting, and innovative products can make a name for themselves. Founded in 2014, AutoFull has been working across traditional gaming chairs and ergonomic ones like the AutoFull G7 to carve out a section of the market for itself, all the while offering desks, high-performance gaming equipment, and more. Now, it has a presence in nearly 2,000 tournaments and hundreds of teams worldwide.
The brand seems to only be on the up and up, too. With 600+ patents to its name, it’s helped lead the way with gaming chairs that offer massage, heating, and ventilation, dynamic backrests (which are becoming a massive trend in the gaming chair market), adjustable armrests, and more. Case in point, the M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair is the world’s first to offer this kind of premium-grade massage.
The M6 Ultra+ 2.0 Shiatsu Massage Gaming Chair is available now for $799.99 at Amazon or the same price at AutoFull’s own website, while its more affordable sibling, the AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0, is available for $599 at Amazon or again, at AutoFull’s website. Both will be serviced by AutoFull’s 3-year warranty.
