Today Razer continues our long history of supporting teams from across the eSports spectrum by announcing Vile Gaming as our newest partner. Vile Gaming is both international and formidable, and with Razer peripherals they are certain to blaze a trail in the Starcraft 2 scene.
I’m glad to be on board with Razer. I’ve tried out many different types of mice, keyboards, and gaming accessories from a variety of companies in the last year, and Razer equipment has always been the best choice. - Michael "  Spanishiwa" Yabut
Vile Gaming, Est. 2005 has been a fixture in the Starcraft community since the days of Brood War. Recently, Vile has been scouting out talent across-the-board to strengthen their roster. Among the new faces are Canadian Zerg Zac "ChAnCe" Palmer, best known for his whirlwind performance during an IPL 3 qualifier where he eliminated the likes of MarineKing and TricksteR; and former ZeNEX player Hong " Yong" Sung, a Korean Protoss.
Team manager Andrew “Atticus” Lemenager had this to say on the new partnership,
Vile Gaming is excited to begin its partnership with Razer. They have been a consistent ally of esports for years, and to align ourselves with them means that Vile Gaming will continue to grow alongside a brand that brings pride to professional gaming. With our players attending nearly every major tournament in the coming year, I’m glad to know they’ll have the best in quality equipment to give them an edge.
Vile has been extremely active this past year, most recently attendeding the MLG Providence finals where  Illusion, State and Spanishiwa placed 24th-31st, after defeating top North American players such as iNcontroL and Sheth. The team were also present at the recent Texas Starcraft Showdown, where State and Hawk finished in first and fourth place respectively. Vile Gaming is a force to be reckoned with within North America and now, with Razer a their side, they are ready to go the distance.

This is just the official announcement for those who didn't know. They sported Razer gear in Providence too.
Congrats guys :D

Soooooooo happy Binski beat the crap out of that cocky player Hawk. I remember when xi had some clan match vs them and my manager was on their vent or something and heard them make fun of Binski calling him a noob and all this stuff. Now Binski took him out of MLG.
That was probably a year full year ago and I think Vile is more professional now.
Great job and congrats to Vile.
|
wow cool sponsor =D and lol at OGSIllusion >.> gl with the team!
|
Go Vile and go HasHe! Someone get this guy featured again on TL. His stream is brilliant and I still can't believe he isn't a featured streamer anymore. Just blows my mind >

|
So cool for the vile guys! Hope to see them at more events as a result of this :D
|
about time vile gets a sponsorship, they are a beast of a team

|
Does anyone think this will end up with Razer vs Steelseries like Bridgestone vs Michelin in Formula 1 at the start of the millennium.
|
congrats. vile has some great players so they def. deserve it.
|
ohh wow, gratz to vile ^__^
|
I always love seeing new sponsorship deals! Gratz guys!
|

Weren't you guys Team Razor awhile ago? I've seen the sponsor on your site before.
|
yeah awsome news.
Some of their members have great potential..... and there are entertaining too (love Psy)
|
|
|
|
|
I thought Razer was already a sponsor....?
What's the difference?
|
|
|
I anticipate this being just the beginning for these guys, they have a great outlook!
|
State finally getting that extra love he deserves :D
Congrats ~
|
Theres no difference, This is just an official announcement,
Tho it is true, that we had them on our site listed as a sponsor,
Anyone in that position would know that these talks take a very long time and a long process
So even if it was couple months now, this is the official announcement from their end
In any ways, thank you for the support everyone,
<3Razer

Nice to see things are finally official. Congratulations to both partners!
|
Team Razer? Are they actually amassing progaming teams?
Anyways, good for vile to get a good sponsor like Razer, especially considering their awesome peripherals. I swear by the Naga as the most useful mouse of all time, especially for SC2.

This gives me one more reason to be a razer fanboy. Congrats to Vile.

Razers eSports world domination continues! Gratz to them and Team Vile.
