The TSL is now sponsored by: RAZER
Two months ago, TeamLiquid had an ambition of bringing the Korean StarLeague experience to the rest of the world. The various members of our staff brought a unique blend of talent and motivation which has created a buzz unlike anything that has come before. The only thing missing was a company who was willing to sponsor a vision rather than look at data. A company that was willing to support an unproven product based on reputation, not revenue streams. A company that understood "community".
Until now. We at TeamLiquid are delighted to announce that our baby has a name, and that name is the Razer TSL. After extensive negotiations we have come to an agreement in which Razer will not only sponsor the entire prize pool of the TSL, but also the substantial cost of streaming the games live to you, the fans. We are delighted to be working with them, and hope that the upcoming league surpasses all expectations.
In an industry notoriously lacking in willing sponsors, Razer has been at the forefront of supporting eSports in all it's manifestations. They are currently supporting twenty-one teams, the top WCIII progamers, as well as numerous LAN events. The Razer TSL, however, represents a step into uncharted territory. We are thankful for their trust, and will do our best to prove that TL is a worthy investment.
In the coming days, TL will be launching a new page dedicated completely to the Razer TSL. In addition, Razer will be more than a silent partner. They will be taking an active interest in the tournament, hosting their own TSL page with a "Guess the TSL Champion" contest.
For more information on Razer and how they support eSports, check out their eSports page at: http://team.razerzone.com/news.php
Of course, you should also check out their main page for all your computer peripherals:
http://www.razerzone.com
The Razer motto is "For Gamers. By Gamers." This proves it. Please join me in thanking Razer for their vision and support.

I am waiting for the stream this should be awesome

Nice 
Thx Razer! I've dealt with them befroe regarding merchandise, very kind people!

Thank you Razer! This seems also like a very fruitful cooperation/sponsoring and I am sure that Razer won't be disappointed with their exclusive deal. At least, you will always need a good mouse to control your units, regardless of the game. 
edit: how come I cannot find any news on their site regarding the TSL? :O
|
Actually i guess just wehnever i need a new mouse, since thats all i see :D
but still it looks nice :D
|
Nice! I've already got a razer mouse and its awesome

|
I somehow feel bad now because i use a Logitech mouse

Thanks Razer!
I feel bad now about buying that Logitech MX518 last month. Maybe I'll pick up one of those neat mouse pads from Razer.

Haha so do I. Rest assured, my next one will be razer. I will happily buy from companies who would put up prize money for a starcraft tournament.
|
Sick! It's perfect because I just ordered a Razer mouse. Go Razer!
|
Awesome! Guess it will be time for a Razer after my current mouse burns out
|

Wow this is great news!!! and its time for me to get a new mouse too.....

Great news !!
If I understand well, when you announced TSL and $10k rewards you had no sponsor and no money ?
Razor is really a great company, sponsoring almost every single lan in France.
|
Awesome news!
Thank you Razer!
|
WOHOOOOO!
brb, I'm at their shop, buying their wares...

If only they sold Razer's over here.
Thank you Razer!!

No, they had the sponsoer but they didn't announce who the sponsor was right away. Might want to re-read the news back then since it was pretty clear.

I'm still the only one of my friends without a razer mouse. I guess I'll have to do something about it soon!
|
Now I want a Razer mouse, too bad I just replaced my old logitech (which was still working though) with a new one.
Fan of the wrong company until now :|
|
I'll never think of buying a logitech mouse again... EVER.
|
so wait..you did not have a sponser before this? Hum Im lost...nevermind =/ (and yes I do remember them saying they had one back then, but *this* news post said "untill now" like they didnt, neverind )
THANKS RAZER. I always wanted to buy one of your gaming mice, and Im not gonna wait any longer! I will deffintley be supporting\purchasing your products now and in the future - I dunno how well you know TL.net but you picked a winner boy!
|
this is so awesome, thanks to razer
thank god i already have a copperhead :D
|
|
im going to get a razer mousepad now ^^
and i have a copperhead and i love it.
|
I bought a copperhead, but it was refurbished and doesn't work! I guess this is a perfect reason to get a new mouse, and actually new this time.

WOOOOOO
RAZOOOOOOORRRRR thanks for sponsoring this awesome TSL
|
thank you Razer for providing prize money and doing great keyboards with microsoft ^^
|
really great news! let's see what razer mice can do !
|
So, do I have to start all of my audio commentaries by saying "welcome back to the razer TSL, this is Vaul"?
Because i'm prepared to and all... maybe I should go edit the audio on all my existing commentaries... :O
|
I guess i can wield my Death Adder with pride now
|
Does anyone recommend a specific Razor mouse that would be good for Starcraft? I use 'claw grip' method of holding the mouse..
|
I am offically buying Razer equipment from now on. Thanks TL.net admin team for bringing us this amazing tournament. Razer has just gained alot of respect in my eye's and in the eye's of the entire bw community. Thank you

visited their site and it seems very cool!

Isn't it time for TL.net to get a design remake? It feels like it deserves it, considering how big the site has become in every way.It just doesn't match to have a site which content is so top notch but its design is still 1998-material ^^
Would probably attract even more people with a nicer design.

look at battle.net, it's gotten a lot worse since the revamp

100% going to buy Razer gear when my current stuff needs replacing!
Long live the Razer TSL!
|
this is great... GREAT!!! great job TL staff!!!
|
I used to have a Razer Boomslang. I liked it better than my G5. Very ergonomic. And gotta love the symmetry. Rare thing in a mouse..

OMFG!!! im so gonna change my microsoft keyboard to razer lycosa...

That being said, I have slight regrets about how we can't do a Victor Goossens StarLeague anymore TT_TT

Thanks Razer and thanks TL crew for this awesome tournament! Next time I need a mouse/pad, it'll be Razer.

Yeah just so everyone is on the same page the reason we didn't announce was because it wasn't "official" yet. It wouldn't be very wise to announce with nothing confirmed .

I know that and I wasn't trying to do anything. It's just that most sites end up like that (bnet). TL.net has the best layout I've seen on the web and I don't want someone to change it. How could it be cleaner?
no offense to the guy who coded battle.net though. it looks nice, but the text is so small it's barely readable.

Great move by Razer, they have well positioned themselves to secure dominance on such a high potential niche market, and now with this sponsorship, it really shows that they are on top of their game. If they ever go public I'll be there for some equity.
Oh and my next mice probably going to be razer now.
|
thanks, razer GJ, TL
I <3 TL :D I <3 Razer :D
it deserves a "w00000t" :D

wow, great sponser esp. that its one EVERY1 knows of

i will appreciate my mousepad even more from now on

I'll be buying Razer hardware for sure.

Cool razer does something cool for once.

O M G. Razer has my support from now on.
|
this is a great excuse to get myself a new mouse maybe a mousepad too, I'll have to look at their prices.
|
I just ordered a new mouse from Razer. Razer now has my complete loyalty. Thx Razer!

awesome sponsor, so ya, just to prove that this sponsoring idea will work, im so bying my next mouse from them xD

W8ing for Logitech now =P

Razer seems the way to go

Great News!! Thanks to Razer and Congratz to TL.net!

Every day I get more and more exited about this event. But I'm afraid that I won't get to watch live this weekend since I'll be on vacation in Oregon. I'll have to see how my time management goes.

I had a Razer Copperhead - Tempest Blue for about 2.5 years until it finally died on me (well, actually it just started to randomly double click on me, which caused me to accidentally pull all my SCVs on more than 1 occasion). I got a cheap Logitech laser mouse to replace it, but my sister told me she wants it (and her birthday is around the corner) so I'll just give it to her and get another Razer, maybe the Razer Krait, or the Razer Lachesis if I'm feeling baller.
|
Oh, and are you guys going to add the Razer logo to the T*SL banners? I have always liked the Razer logo, and wouldn't mind seeing it more around here.
|
yeah, i need to buy some shit for my comp... i wills upport this company
|
YES YES YES YES
I'm the biggest razer fanboy EVAR
(razer tarantula, razer lachesis, razer copperhead, razer barracuda AC-1, razer barracuda HP-1, razer eXactMat) TEE HEE
|
Very nice line of products, I heard of some Razer products before but never actually had the will to look for some of these, very nice news indeed.
|
I am now tempted to go buy another razer mouse.

One of the novel innovations of Razer was the sponsorship of gamers, which directly contributed to the emerging pro-gaming phenomenon. Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel was amongst the first wave of sponsored gamers and is still currently active in the pro-gaming arena
Razer currently sponsors several electronic sports clans, notably:
* Eyeballers — A multi-game clan specialising in first-person shooters * .EL1T3.'CLAN — A multi-game clan specialising in first-person shooters * PvXwiki — A Guild Wars wiki used as a database for character builds. * Team Fantastic Five - A Hong Kong Counter-Strike clan.
While someone in this thread suggested Razer sponsors (or at some point) WeMadeFox, I can't find anything to verify that online. Can anyone confirm or debunk that?

damn, gotta switch from logitech fanboyism now. i'm so conflicted!

mmmmm yes, Razer has just earned mad respect.

Razer is more niche and probably needs our support more than Logitech, which is huge and mainstream.
|
I've now become so much more interested in Razer products for some strange reason.
|
I'm looking into the Razer gaming headset too, but that's a lot of money, and I could always get a no-name cheapo for a few bucks. Razer mice are worth the money to me, but I don't know if I care about headset quality that much. Decisions, decisions.
|
This is amazing news, not only for TSL but for the foreign community as a whole.
|
razer <3 i have razer mantis control mouse pad, it's great ^_^
|
|
|
This makes me proud to own razer products.

|
im definently buying one of their mices
|
thank you! **Clicks razer links a billion times**
|
This is an amazing accomplishment for TL.net and the starcraft community in general, props to the TL crew and a big THANK YOU to Razer for supporting esports and deciding to venture into "uncharted territory" as it was put. I know the loyal people at TL.net will not let them down ^^ (and on that note I will be going out and buying all new hardware, it needs updating anyhow and now I have a good reason :D ).
|
if i had not just updated all my hardware (which is all razer stufff =) i would go buy it all. razer ftw!
|
Going out to bestbuy right now to look at some razor stuff.
SCREW THE LOGITECH SHIT!

I have a Habu and definately owns my old MX310.
StarCraft doesnt get sponsors easily because it doesn't need much fancy hardware, unlike all the new games. Good that there's still some companies trying to benefit the community.

This is where many companies get it wrong. Gamers are gamers. They play games. And usually, they will upgrade their next computer with games in mind. So they'll go for that beastly computer. That's why even an outdated Counterstrike, a game that will play at 100 fps on even casual computers, SHOULD get sponsors from graphics companies like NVIDIA because their fan base are gamers. And gamers play other games. And even if they don't. they usually like having a top of the line system.
Razer made a smart move here. You can even see it in the responses.
|
I feel bad for buying a new MX518. I was 5 minutes from getting the Razer Diamondback but I also bought that Microsoft Reclusa keyboard which is a thing between microsoft + razer so I don't feel as bad.
|
o, so THATS what pachi's original cheerful meant!
<3 for Razer!
|
|
That's really awesome! It may sound a bit artifical, but I bought a diamondback 2 yrs ago because razer was and is the only company who REALLY is dedicated to gaming and wants to promote professional e-sports, thus I wanted to give something back. When I think of Intel for example, I don't have the feeling they take such a genuine interest in SC:BW, of course they sponsor some teams (mym, but who else??), but not to the extent razer does, even though razer is the smaller company I think. Razer ,however, sponsors the TSL which is just great! Thank you so much guys!!
|
|
I got a lycosa, a diamondback black thingy and a copperhead. :D go razer
|
Very awesome, thanks razer!
|
hahah damn, I just bought my razer mouse yesterday before this news.... if I had bought it today, then it wouuld show that I was supporting razer for the TSL !

I am just a casual player who has not played in years. However, I have continued to check tl regularly over the years. I just want to take this time to say that the TSL is so amazing, it has gotten me very interested in BW again. This sponsorship news is fantastic, congratulations to everyone who made it happen. I am in the market for a new mouse and now it is trivially obvious what brand I will be buying.
|
hm, that's a freaking great sponsor! ^^
I feel bad having a logitech now.
|
Awesome! This is the reason, why both pcs at home are with razer mice & pads. I recommend them to everybody.
|
wow, awesome work by both TSL and Razer
|
i know now where to get that new keyboard from
|
|
wow, this is big! like the best esports news ever :o
|
wow.
I was already considering buying a diamondback. the deal is closed, razer, you will have my money soon.

I always wondered whether my next mouse should be a logitech or a razor but I think now it will go with the latter. I also just clicked on those links for the hell of it as a sign of support. I love Razor.
|
|
ahh gotta buy razor exactpad mousepad~~ i have a logitech mouse at the moment, but whe ni need one... ill buy razor. do u guys got ne suggestion for which mouse?
|
I think this is really cool and good. Just don't let Razer take over the site and/or direct all the decisions from the shadows.
Remember TL was and still is great way before all this stuff, the goal is to make it better through new things, not worse.

theyre just sponsoring this one event by providing for the prize pool and bandwidth costs, not invading a gaming forum
|
My next mouse purchase will definitely be a Razer.
|
I don't deserve a new mouse until I get good enough, but that mouse will now definitely be a Razer.
|
Ill just assume that these 10 pages are "thank you razer" and "im getting only razer things from nwo on".
So ill just agree with everyone else:
THANKS YOU RAZER!! thas is some serious amount of money! O_o
And, yeah, ive been about to but a keybord for some time. Guess it will have to be a razer one now.

I hope theres a new sponsor for next year. Not because I dislike Razer or anything [duh], just because I like new names. Like "Mondragon raped in the Razer TSL but xx completely shook up the foreign community in the [??] tsl"
Just makes it seem more professional =P
|
I'm currently on my very first Razer mouse and I like it a lot. I guess my next one will be a Razer too because this is awesome news and they makes good stuff. (Lol where was money coming from before this though?)

i feel good because i have razer peripherals

nice sponsor i also have a razor mouse and pad.

Wow this is so awesome. TeamLiquid pioneering the path to foreign progaming!
|
Yay, before this, I didn't think much of Razer and always loved my logitech gear. However, I will definitely get a razer mouse when my 2 mini opticals die. And a Razer keyboard if I have a job.
|
I will definitely be sticking with Razer mice from now on, I love my current krait, but this act of awesomeness has pretty much turned me into a life-time customer of razer products.

Nice. I feel like I should go buy Razer Products >.>
Thanks Chill (GTR-2-Go) alluded that you were a big part.

way to go! awesome and kinda best fitting sponsor!
|
Razer products are the best. A perfect sponsor for the best foreign starcraft tournament ever. Many thanks to the people at Razer, and those organizing the TSL. I can't wait to watch the games on the weekend.
TL RULES TEH INTARWEBZ

I think this new Razer mouse that is soon to be released looks like it may rival the Mini Optical in terms of feel (for me at least), small, symmetrical, optical, and lightweight. Should be killer. I think I'll pick one up if it is reasonably priced.
|
Thinking I need a new mouse.

Indeed. This makes me want to give back something to Razer... and I do need a new mouse.

Time to swap this Microsoft mouse?

this almost makes me want to give up my mx518. almost.
Thanks razer <3. Thought for sure naz was sponsoring TSL though ~~

Whoa Razer.. quality stuff! :D Logitech has nothing on them ;>
This is just amazing! :O GoGo Razer TSL!
|
So this was plan B when the original plan to sell 33 000 t-shirts failed?
|
Are they gonna have like a razer give away?
[edit]

Porably their new one most sc mice i wouldnt recommend form a pro graming mice site becuase most of those mice are ment for fps but their salmona? something like that is pretty light and just has 2 buttons and should have their refined optical tech so thats the only one i would recommend. Other wise i just stick to their mouse pads
|
great to see a big name company step up like this. go razor~
|
LOLOL I think they've already made back the prize money with the amount of mice they've sold today. Good business move razer :p But seriously, nice news always good to see the SC community move forward.

But a lot of people like "FPS" Razer mice, but they seem pretty big to me. Though, 1.6 billion people can't be wrong.

I like how the Habu looks, but maybe its because I've been using a Microsoft optical for so long, and thats the closest thing to it.

Krait is perfect if you like small mice.
|
Got a DeathAdder already, but sorry to say i've just got a new logitech keyboard. Next one will be the Lycosa then! It looks pretty awesome too.

I would so buy Razor, but unfortunately I havent seem them sold in Bulgaria T_T

I regret having to tell you this, but in the United States, it's spelled "razor" also. The company just uses its cool trendy in your face spelling because it's a product marketed to youth.

I guessed wrong . I thought it would be a more mainstream sponsor.
Their mouse and mousepad looks nice, but their website...

Razer is pretty mainstream...They've been around for quite a while, although, understandbly, old school pentium 2 starcraft players who haven't upgraded their comp in a decade might've not heard about em.

Razer is not that mainstream give me a tv ad from razer then you can say they are main stream just fan boys like any fanboy shout their name and products everywhere so they dont need to be mainstream mainstream. Also mainstream also implies lacking in the computer world Chipsets, CPU, GPU are defined in ecnomic, mainstream and enthusiast. I'm sure razer wants to fall into the enthusiast catagoy due to the price of their products they are at a premium and thus not mainstream. Logitech is mainstream Sony is mainstream they are brand names you can learn by going to any tech store or commerical Although i dont think logitech need commericals due to cheep products any store will be happy to carry mainstream suits you as you serve all aspects of the business i.e. cheep to specality razer is jsut specality/enthusiast. Would you call a chaoslaucher mainstream?No just means they have a following and you happen to know about it esp scence the coder for it is a member of tl.net. Not all great things are mainstream.
Razer isnt mainstream you just a "gamer" w/e that means and thus your fimilar with the product but they arent a poor company or a bad company because of that just a specality company
You know i actually answer alot of post i just never feel like hitting the post button so i just click away after i type it but i feel like posting this

nice .
I <3 razer.
The two things I like the most are now combined.
I <3 tl because of what it is, and i <3 razer, because it sponsors my favorite Starleague, and my Copperhead rules.
This is awesome.

Obviously all the TL traffic redirected to their site has overloaded their servers.
