In 2011, Lim Yo-Hwan joined the elite lineup of Team Razer. "I have always been a fan of Razer's mice," says The Terran Emperor, " I've always played with a great level of comfort and precision when using the Razer DeathAdder. Ever since then, I've been using that for training, practice games and tournaments. I made the strategic choice in joining Team Razer in order to maximize my style and always be in top shape in every game." Lim Yo-Hwan currently competes in professional StarCraft 2 games. He is also starting his own StarCraft 2 team named "SlayerS". With his reputation, entertaining style of play, his renewed vigor for success and legions of fans behind him, Lim Yo-Hwan's move to StarCraft 2 will add excitement and fierce competitiveness to the game. Lim Yo-Hwan now strives to boost his momentum in the StarCraft 2 scene. The arrival of the long awaited sequel has presented him with the opportunity to again take the professional gaming world by storm. He plans to revolutionize the game again through his exciting and creative style of play. And through this, Lim Yo-Hwan and his new founded team plans to add more victories and fame to his living legacy as a professional gamer. One thing is for sure though, with his promise of redemption, and his exodus to the sequel, Lim Yo-Hwan, the "Terran Emperor" has returned. | ||

Can Nada's popularity get something similar for ogs? The Slayers team had big Razer logos on their backs on the uniforms they wore for GSTL. Intel just had a small badge on the front. Really interesting, given the numbers that were reported for Boxer's Intel sponsorship. | ||

So what is the purpose of a "clan", like SlayerS? Just a group of people who help each other without financial backing? What happens to SlayerS people now, like Cella? Nothing? Sorry if these are dumb question, was not a very active follower of Brood War | ||

"Team Razer" is not a Starcraft 2 team, Boxer isn't leaving SlayerS. "Team Razer" is just a collaborative term for all the individual players Razer sponsors. People they use to promote their products! | ||

Unfortunately whether it's BoxeR helping design a mouse or not it's still Razer, it's probably gonna be a cheap looking glowing macro-intensive-16 button mouse lol. It'd go with a Steelseries mouse, this one is only $40 and it's nice and clean/simple looking; http://shop.steelseries.com/us/index.php/mice-us/steelseries-kinzu-optical-mouse.html or you could go up to $80 and get the Xai which is even better. | ||

Here is the quick and dirty translation: Source: http://www.playxp.com/sc2/news/view.php?article_id=2616167 Note: Min-Liang Tan is the CEO of Razer. ▲ First of all, congratulations on the contract! Can you tell us in detail what this means for the sponsorship of BoxeR and investment in Korean e-sports market? Min-Liang Tan: There will be support through both products and money. We will put in careful consideration when we design products for use, that will fit well with the team's theme. It has been revealed that there would be 5,000,000 dollars over the period of 3 years, but this money isn't used for a singular purpose -- it includes sponsorship, players, and other extra spending. We cannot comment on exactly what we are spending money on. ▲ This is a second personal sponsorship. When will there be a team-level sponsorship? Also, it is known that Death Adder series are being in use, will that continue to be the case? BoxeR: Looking at the StarCraft 1 market, I believe team-level activities have been rock stable. If we can have that same stability here, we will be in good position. As for the personal sponsorship, as seniors in this scene, I believe it is our job to bring the market to the same level as StarCraft 1. We are not sure what path to take right now, but we will do our best to make it a good one. As for the Death Adder series, it is already highly optimized. We are using it to the fullest extent. There are a lot of good mice choices available at Razer, and we plan to try out different products in the future. ▲ Although Razer's products are good, the public opinion is that people do not wish to purchase them due to the distributor being frequently changed. Any details on future plans for South Korea? Min-Liang Tan: The reason we came to the Korean market is due to the fans. We are well aware of the complaints the fans have about that. We will correct the A/S and distribution problem in South Korea, as well as acquiring additional workforce. However, because we select bulk of our workforce from gamer population, we are running into difficulty finding a suitable person to hire. If you are interested, feel free to call us. ▲ Will there be BoxeR mouse or other new products like that? Min-Liang Tan: We do plan to create more products in the future. As for the BoxeR brand products, hold onto your hats. ▲ What is the story behind Intel and Razer sponsorship? BoxeR: I was impressed with the Razer Death Adder mouse at the BlizzCon, so I snuck one with me. I did talk to a Blizzard employee later about it, and looks like the news of it went all the way to CEO of Razer. I think that has been the catalyst for this. ▲ What are you doing now to improve the Razer brand? Any specific goals? BoxeR: I've always thought Razer products are not as well-known as some other existing Korean brands. I believe my job is to improve the public opinions on Razer products, as a ... perhaps, a PR agent? As for being a progamer? The only thing I can do to show for that is the winning records. ▲ All in a month, two corporations have announced their sponsorship. Will there be more? BoxeR: Intel and Razer alone is more than good enough for me. I am very grateful already. I don't think I should really be asking for more (laugh). | ||

Also, cheap and quality aren't two things that usually go hand in hand with mice. You usually get what you pay for, and ~$65 for the DeathAdder I've had since they were released and ~$70 for my Naga to me were both worth every penny. I'm willing to pay a little extra on a well crafted product to make sure the engineers behind it are rewarded for their work.i hope it's a cheap quality mouse with no macros. just a really nice and simple mouse which gets the job done. I'm sick of buying over priced razer mouses or cheap and crappy genius/microsoft ones. i just want mouse around the $50 price range which has a nice dpi. PLEASE BE MY SAVIOR BOXER!!! On topic though, nice to see Boxer and SlayerS as a whole get this sponsorship. Should mean good things for both parties. It'd be nice if Team Razer would clarify on their page that they aren't actually a team, and that they're a sponsor for other teams, it'd clear up a lot of confusion (I was scratching my head at first too till I found the SlayerS logo on their list of teams, which I also never found until tonight). | ||

Still works fine, just worn-out looking after several years of use (and not in a cool way). Anybody know which Razer would be most like my Diamondback? | ||

Before I saw this I was about to say something along the lines of "oh, psh, I BET he uses Razer stuff. BS." Seems strange that a BW player would go for the DeathAdder over the Salmosa, though, because I know that BoxeR used to use the Logitech Mini. That's a pretty massive change.

Haha, I'm sure many, many people will do the exact same thing, my friend. While I can appreciate some of the themed stuff that Razer makes, the "APM technology" AKA fancy light show just seems to be annoying. On one hand, you can say that it adds to the flashy spectacle that is Korean eSports, but I don't think that I, personally would use something that had that type of glitz on it (never mind the ridiculous prices on the SC line of products, specifically). | ||

I know it's the typical publicity thing to make it look that much better, but I'm not a fan of the slightly misleading context of it. That's kind of just a quibble, though. | ||

from the looks of it, it is the whole slayers team that is getting the sponsorship. ![[image loading]](http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182714_10150184518527576_13848807575_8824133_8025101_n.jpg) | ||

Yes Razer do sponsor a whole team and not just 1 person. From the look of the team uniform, Intel is the main sponsor which why it is the big Intel logo in the left chest area. Razer is in the left upper arm area is one of the other sponsors. | ||

In 2011, Lim Yo-Hwan joined the elite lineup of Team Razer. "I have always been a fan of Razer's mice," says The Terran Emperor, " I've always played with a great level of comfort and precision when using the Razer DeathAdder. Ever since then, I've been using that for training, practice games and tournaments. I made the strategic choice in joining Team Razer in order to maximize my style and always be in top shape in every game." In the Boxer's Wings Episode you can see Boxer's GF searching for sponsors to support Boxer's training house. They have a chat with a Razer guy in a cafe and agree very fast on the sponsoring terms. Next day a Deathadder suddenly appears in Boxer's appartment and in his GSL booth. And now they advertise it like he has used it for decades. Coming from a LMO which he has used for like 10 years every semi-modern mouse should feel like heaven in your hand! Now nerds allover the world go crazy! If razer wouldnt pay his rent i bet he would not even touch the DA with gloves on... | ||

I claw grip myself and I find the DeathAdder is quite comfortable for me. If you're looking for something smaller, I'd probably go with an Abyssus.

The easiest route would have him transition to a BlackWidow, but I'm pretty sure that would be a downgrade from the Filco that he's currently using. | ||

Am I the only one that thinks the Razer headset looks rather ridiculous? I mean, who wants a headset with a glowing blue Starcraft logo? I hope they release a Boxer Razer product set with more toned down design. That would make atleast me more eager to buy. | ||

The Avengers and the Fantastic Four are both completely different, but both are part of the Marvel Comics superheros. | ||

Secondly on people saying this is a personal sponsorship I honestly thought that is how this comes across to, but if you go to the actual "Team List" Page you see who they sponsor and it says SlayerS. So I am defiantly not 100 percent forsure that means they are full sponsors of his team or if they list his team name because they back him. When SlayerS has or if they do have a website I am sure it will be tied more to the Razer Team page like they give to Mousesports, MyM, WeMade Fox. They even say in the article "He is also starting his own StarCraft 2 team named "SlayerS". So obviously if the has told them the team is in the works but you get just me right now would make solid sense to the wording on everything. Either way just want to clarify all of that information is at your fingertips on the Razer Team page. | ||

No intention to mislead, so if you actually read the article and looked at the title you would not be posting how misleading this is, it was simply how they entitled it themselves. | ||

I would also like to see the player(as well as the team) gain some more wins. Boxer as they say is about psychologically throwing off the opponent. It catches my eye whenever I see his name appear in the GSL, but as of late I have been doubtful as to whether or not he'll actually win against straight-up strong play. | ||

Why is he still making more money than hell of other soccer stars and movie stars ? Think about it. Actually, he is still a really good player. There's a reason why he's so sought after (beyond the normal "marketability."). I'd venture to say you either don't follow soccer or just don't like Beckham/his teams. Edit: It should be noted that soccer players have much longer careers than most of us living in America think of a "sports career" as. Beckham isn't unique in this aspect.

You basically need something that feels comfortable and "somewhat works", most of the bw pros are just using 10$ mice keyboards and pads.
