We have to be careful here. Endorsement deals and sponsorship deals can vary. I would never force a player to use a peripheral they have issues with. It's all about comfort. That doesn't mean they cannot plug/advertise their products and I'm sure they could find something to use that wouldn't hinder them while playing. In Pro League you'll see a lot of players using equipment they've been using for ages. Heck some guys still use ball mice, so easy there with the 100% switch to all things Razer. It doesn't necessarily work that way.
P.S. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who wouldn't give a rats ass but there will always be a few who just like using their old shit.

that's gonna be a bitch switching all of their gear over
I was just thinking the same thing. How much of a pain is it gonna be for all the EG guys to play with new keyboards and mice :O

Honestly Razer products have been on the decline for a while. They used to be tolerable, but everything I've tried in recent years has been just god awful. Headset, mouse, and keyboard all given a fair shot, and all either break, malfunction catastrophically (so, spectacularly break), or are just garbage in every way.
Had a 6gv2 since they came out, and have had 0 issues. IMO buy a decent mechanical and get some Sennheisers. No need for bad shiny loot.

I always was amused with the idea of Liquid and EG being sponsored by competing brands, kind of like a rivalry within a rivalry.
Oh well.
I'm a steelseries man myself.

Well EG needed some sponsors ! Atleast something replaced another for a change

I believe that is the exact reason why steelseries isn't renewing their sponsorship of EG. It does make sense to switch though especially if they were ever to really make it in Korea as part of PL. Can't really shout-out to two different companies at the same time.

It's really great to see razer putting that much effort and support into pro teams. I'd really like them to polish their products a bit more though, the razer mice I owned didn't feel up to their price.. Stop using that terrible glossy plastic, so that we can support you while you support teams :D!

Steelserie pull back of a lot of other sponsorship for a lot of teams everywhere. ( including SK after a 15y partnership )
So I think there's more to it than that.

I have Razer Salmosa for like two years now. Its good mouse, didnt break so far so its all good, but Steelseries gear is better in quality and design imo...
Anyway grats EG

Um, no it isn't. We had a few threads not too long ago where it was pretty clear that Steel Series was pulling out of several sponsorship deals. It's not just EG, so no you're wrong. Steel Series is re-considering how they advertise and market their products as a whole.

Can't wait to hear how razer is actually the best equipment in gaming after 2+ years of steelseries shoved down my throat by incontrol. I don't blame him but anyone who trusts sponsored players for peripheral endorsements is, umm, yea.

Hopefully most people can think for themselves and not believe everything they hear.  They're just doing what they're paid to do.

Actually no, I think you just misunderstand how sponsorships work. The way EG was always praising SS gear was because they sponsored them (and probably because it is in fact good), and knocking on Razer was just because it's a competing brand.
I sincerily doubt that Razer gear is so bad that they wouldn't be able to play comfortably.

Used my 1st Razer abyssus for 2,5 years, then it got bad. Using my Blackwidow also gave me no problems after 2 years, just like my Banshee. So maybe it's not the product but the user who causes the malfunctions ;_;

Razer keyboards used to be shit (the lycosa and arctosa especially, A TON of bugs lol) but their mice were always the best imo (will ever be a better mouse than the deathadder? :D) so it's cool that EG players will be able to play with razer mice without hiding it.
Yes, the diamondback. I hope they will be reselling them again ;_;
Cool with the sponsorship, congrats EG.
