Tt eSPORTS Global Superstar White-Ra Comes to Thermaltake HQ

Today, in Thermaltake Headquarters we were very glad to have a visit from our Tt eSPORTS sponsored Starcraft 2 player Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk. Aleksey became a member of the Tt eSPORTS family shortly after his appearance at our booth at Cebit 2011.


Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk hails from the Ukraine and is one of the most popular and well respected Starcraft players who is known as the "Beast from the East". White-Ra has one of the biggest fan bases in Starcraft 2 and is a great representative of Tt eSPORTS where he is often seen wearing the Tt eSPORTS SHOCK headset and using the MEKA G1 keyboard when competing at events like IEM and Dreamhack Invitationals.


In Thermaltake HQ Aleksey met with Thermaltake CEO Kenny Lin and Tt eSPORTS Director Tony Liu to discuss his visit to Taiwan where he received a Tt Apollo's jacket and officially joined as part of the family.


White-Ra shall also be attending Computex and taking an active part in the Thermaltake/Tt eSPORTS booth activities which will be occurring over the 5 day Technology exhibit. Computex should see some fun competitions and will also bring some of the world's best Starcraft 2 players to the booth where in co-operation with Blizzard there will be a hosted Starcraft 2 tournament.


After Aleksey's meeting he was given a tour around Thermaltake Headquarters and was shown into the gaming arena where he got to try all the current and upcoming products including the Tt eSPORTS Gamer Bag, MEKA G-UNIT and Azurues Mini in our HQ's very own in-house LAN arena and battle booths.


Tt eSPORTS are looking forward to seeing Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk in action over the next week as he goes on a tour of Taiwan until he attends Computex between the 31st May and 4th June. Come Visit us at Computex where we will be putting on a fantastic show, highlighting all of our latest and upcoming products and of course you can meet our very own Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk and take home some great Tt eSPORTS give-aways.


Tt eSPORTS released a lot of pictures on their facebook site:

Yeah he will probably keep the same name and since adding TT to his ID at all would look like he was crying I don't want him to use that at all! lol Congrats WhiteRa, more sponsor's the merrier

White-ra gets more sponsors for his one-man team than most "real" teams do.
