I thought EG was already partnered with them along time ago. Geoff has been using them for close to a year now.

Interesting news I suppose, but did you really cite your own blog as a source

Yeah, I believe SteelSeries asked players to wear them at first, but they and the teams liked them so much that they all decided to partner.

Shameless self promotion!

Good for them, but I personally think they are a bit overpriced. I use a program called Flux that has a similar effect and is free. If you have the money, you should definitely buy it but for me, it was not the better option.

iNcontroL plays with them all the time as well

We're going to be seeing a lot more yellow glasses in the future. I don't mind, they look badass.
|
That's nice for the teams involved however i find the product to be useless.
|
What a cheap attempt to get more hits on your blog. Shame on you.
Anyone have some true stats about the effectiveness of these glasses?
|
They look pretty suave on CatZ, pretty much all I can say about them.
|
|
|
Nice job OP. Your post basically amounts to spam.
|
is it really different from regular glasses with a simple antiglare option?
|
WTF is with the OPs today? Cut the advertising tt

They arent useless, but they certainly wont help you become a better player. To clarify, they help the strain on your eyes over time, however they won't provide gosu eyesight and reaction speed, nor will it help you understand the game better.

I use (since a month or so) and I like it a lot. It takes some days to get used to it, but then it feels natural.
btw. the OP feels like an PR announcement.
|
EG is going crazy with partners and sponsorships , their baller and awesome!

Sorry, wasn't meant to come across like that, more to simply inform you about the partnerships. I'm not involved with any party, so there is no need for me to announce this as a PR for them. I just like this sort of news, relating more to the business side!
Apologies for the blatant self promotion too, I'm cheap.
Edit: Why the change in forum? It's not just for their SC2 teams, also for all the other ones! Hence I posted it in General

So even after confirming you are advertising and promoting yourself you leave the link in the thread............ /facepalm
Good to see these partnerships though.

Yea, this thing is gold, love it
Though, those glasses look really nice 
|
It's not the same. F.lux is still great, though.

Well at home I think F.lux does great, and for the players that goes to major lans and plays without your own computer I guess you can bring along Gunnars Optiks.

I never said advertising and promoting yourself was a bad thing. It's what makes this world spin.

So many joint ventures. Hope it goes well.

Owned by steelseries. Unless teams are getting more sponsorshipmoney from having gunnar alongside ss, this is a waste of time.
|
I don't know why some people would just bash a post that promotes an item when they don't know the item =(. I'd ask TL, but you've already responded =(. Thank you >.<.
|
EG has been sponsored by gunnar for years though?
