ZOWIE GEAR announces today officially that they've reached an agreement contract with Korean esports team KT Rolster.
In reality ZOWIE GEAR had worked with KT Rolster for some time: "In terms of our product development, KT Rolster players have always provided suggestions for us. So right now we are very happy to formalize this partnership and announce it to the public."
When we were just starting development of the ZOWIE CELERITAS keyboard, the original template was based on Flash's opinion; and we've also added suggestions and views from Sweden CS player SpawN and korean driving game player Moon, to change the windows key to ctrl was Flash's suggestion. This way the keyboard handles more easily for RTS players.
When we pushed ZOWIE CELERITAS, Flash had said: "As a BW player, keyboard is the most important equipment. Keyboards need to be durable and have a fast reaction time, because this series of games require higher apm than any other game. I've already been using ZOWIE CELEBRITAS for a few months, its unique RTR ability really helps me improve my APM, I'm very happy that ZOWIE also accepted suggestion to change the windows key to Ctrl, this will lessen some occurrences of mistakes by the player.
KT Rolster players will be using the ZOWIE CELERITAS keyboard and KT Rolster version ZOWIE MiCO mouse and ZOWIE's KT Rolster mouse pad, when new headphones come out they will always wear them.
In the near future, KT Rolster's players will use professionally crashed gear to achieve more good records and win championships one after another~

There's nothing wrong with your translating this. Advertisements are implicit just when you say the names of players and teams and leagues, it is part of the reason it is valuable and worth paying for. This equipment is unnecessary and silly, but you are more or less supporting ESPORTS by talking about it ;p

LOL omfg who is running this campaign. Bad enough to have body builders reping your nerd gear, but putting the body builder next to the skinny progamer... HAHAHA
(ok, maybe not body builder but guy who obviously goes to the gym a lot and is fucking huge)

Spawn (black guy) is a CS legend. I think having a nerd repping your nerd gear is ok, no? ^_^
Grats to both parties. Always good to hear new partnerships popping up, even if this had been known for a while.
On another note: I love the Zowie Celeritas keyboard. I've been using it for the past ~1,5 year and I love it.

LOL flash holding onto his jacket for dear life :p
Gaming gear is a scam. Progamers have been doing it for over a decade on a cheap DT-35 keyboard and Logitech Mini Optical mouse. Makes me ill that these people come in and pretend like their overpriced gear makes a difference.

You don't know who SpawN is ?... Don't ever use the word " esport " again then ...

We're on a Starcraft BroodWar and SC2 website, why would we all have to know CS pros before we can say we like ESPORTs.
I don't know a single soccer (sorry Europe) player but I love Handegg (I repented for my sins, Europe <3), am I not allowed to be a sports fan? :p

Also, can we buy KT labelled zowie gear? I always wanted to get a zowie mouse and this would be that push for me to actually buy it
This bag has been out for a year, maybe they'll make more now?
wow, thats pretty neat...
Awesome bag, pity it was so hard to buy. I had to pay a shit load in shipping from a supposedly bad site (not all orders processed). Although my order came through fine.
I used to use it for lans, but now i use it as a laptop bag. Much more comfy and better than other laptop bags imo.
And omfg I want the zowie KTRolster mico!
Zowie makes really good gear. I wish it wasn't so hard to buy their stuff
Edit: Just had another look at the site, looks like they got most of their shit together. The clothing seems to be missing (e.g bag), but looks like I can just buy their stuff online now, and they have a referral to auspcmarket.
Different color micos is cool, wasn't a fan of the black (although i bought it anyway because its still a great design ). Although I think ill wait for the KTRolster edition :D

lol omfg you dont know SpawN HAHAHA
I was about to say... body builder? Man he's lean as hell. I wouldn't call that riped at all let alone the fact that he is a gamer.

Not really. How is being a fan of american football the same as being a "sports fan" ? You don't need to have extensive knowledge of all the famous teams / players but a minimum is expected. Name someone who's currently playing for the FC barça. Name the gold finishers of the the last olympics. Then you can talk about sports.
Edit : btw abdisamad was a basket player, one day he got injured and couldn't play anymore ( leg injury ). One of his friends told him about cs. He never was a bodybuilder or anything. Don't know if he goes to the gym tho, but just take a look at heaton.

How can you not know a single football/soccer player? that's madness

Messi is on Barcelona, and I can name at least 2 gold medal winner, Alexander Billodeau and Charles Hamelin because they both competed in sports I really enjoy watching
From what I understand, there are KT Rolster branded Zowie MiCO mice and KT Rolster branded Zowie N-CM mousepads on sale on www.joygear.co.kr. Just scroll down and you will see them.
EDIT: The site is also available in English. There is a button at the top.
FINALLY they can start using Mechanical keyboards instead of those rubber domers koreans usually have used. So! Happy APM spamming on orgasmic keyboards now, boys.
