Raymen Wu, Global Marketing Director of Cooler Master:
We are excited about the addition of a top player like Choi “Polt” Seong Hoon to the CM Storm team. Polt's performances and results speak for itself and we are confident that with his dedication and smooth transition to the US, he will place very well in different tournaments this year.
Through our quick and smooth negotiations, we have a very good feeling that this partnership will be something special. We are also looking forward to his help in tweaking our products through his usage and feedbacks so that we keep improving our gaming products.


Andrew Tomlinson, Founder and CEO of Cyber Sports Network:
When I first met Choi Seong Hoon, known as Polt, I was immediately impressed by his seriousness, dedication to Starcraft 2, and strong grasp of the English language. As our friendship grew over the past two years, I also came to appreciate the entirety of his approach to his occupation... to esports.
Polt is a leader, a singular personality who possesses charm and talent, is driven by his own motivation, and is never beyond the reach of his fans with whom he interacts almost daily. When he decided to part ways with TSL, I knew I had to help Polt find his next step. Polt accepted my guidance and moved to Austin, Texas to begin a new chapter in his career. This has proven to be a great decision as Polt continues to succeed and grow as a Starcraft 2 professional. I couldn’t be happier for him and this opportunity to represent CMStorm, as I expect this partnership to be mutually beneficial for many years to come.


Choi "Polt" Seong Hun, Professional Starcraft 2 Player:
Hello, everyone. I'm pleased to announce this great news! After I left TSL, I moved to Austin, Texas and have been playing and training without a team. When people asked me about a new team, I couldn't answer anything because I had to keep the secret. Now, however, I can announce everything to you. My new home will be CMStorm!
I'm so excited to have CMStorm as a sponsor and will do my very best to make them proud. Now it a time to start new things, and I certainly believe there is great synergy between CMStorm and me. Also I appreciate Andrew, as my friend and manager, for his dedication and help in securing for me this great opportunity. Thank you, everyone, for all your support, and I hope you continue to cheer me on as CMStorm.Polt!



Please give Polt and CM Storm your support!

So it's a personal sponsor by a hardware company that doesn't preclude him joining another team potentially??

The way Razer sponsored gamers are said to be on "team razer" but are a part of teams in the organized competitive sense?

Yeah, seeing as they say sponsor, seems like a personal sponsorship. Reminds me of when CSN helped Violet get personally sponsored before he went to Azubu.

Congratulations to Polt well deserved. With a great company that produces amazing products. Hell I'm picking up a 2nd CMStorm keyboard soon. Currently have the QuickFire going to get the Rapid Fire for my 2nd machine.

CMStorm is not a random company, they're the 'eSports' side of Cooler Master - one of the biggest PC supplies manufacturer (computer cases, power supplies, cooling fans etc)

They have personally sponsored players in the past: AlastOr, a decent zerg player was personally sponsored by CM Storm, at the same time as being on a team sponsored by CM Storm (Team LDLC).

Not really surprised. His popularity/skill combo is in the league of MC/Violet and will pretty much ensures he's always employed when he wants to be

Is it a team or just a personal sponsorship? Either way, they got the best possible start they could hope for with Polt.

Cool Masters always sponsors Curse, one of the biggest NA LoL teams. They have a good track record.

Hopefully when Polt goes back to Korea he can partner with an ESF team like SK does with LG-IM.

it's good to see some new companies sponsoring players. I was getting a bit worried that something bad might happen because the same old hands were continually investing into the scene and starcraft might implode on itself.

Hey guys Polt actually has a teammate, a few weeks ago CM Storm also picked up PandaTank,a protoss player from South Africa. He is really good you guys should check out for him he placed top 8 at ESWC last year beating Dimaga and narrowly losing 2-1 to Stephano. :D

I edit LP too, twas a joke ^^. Coolmaster's neither European nor Korean either, their technically based in Taiwan a la Thermaltake with multiple branches international.

Sincere grats to Polt is kind of implied!

When he started streaming again about a month ago, a lot of viewers were asking him what mouse/keyboard he uses, and he said 1) that he just switched and 2) he kept sort of putting the topic off, saying that he would tell us soon. Seems like this has been a sponsorship in the making and I hope it means that both sides took their time to make sure it works. I think a personal sponsorship is the way to go for a player like Polt, who wants that flexibility. GG Polt!

Yeah, seeing as they say sponsor, seems like a personal sponsorship. Reminds me of when CSN helped Violet get personally sponsored before he went to Azubu.


I’m not sure it would be easy to find a team without conflicting sponsors (peripherals) but I like it when strong personalities choose to build their own brand. Go Polt!

So similar to Violet...moving to Texas, securing an individual sponsorship. Storm makes it sound like they'd to branch out to a full team someday if it works out, a la AZUBU. Polt's probably a good choice then -- so professional. Gogogo Polt fighting!

Polt is taking classes in the international department of UT Austin. He is focusing on English classes which gives him ample time to focus and further his SC2 career.

I expected Polt to have a personal sponsorship over a team because he has to balance his education with gaming currently, and joining a team brings baggage that would burden Polt greatly. Personal sponsorships allow him to play SC2 and travel, but doesn't restrict his options.

Just purchased CM QuickFire with Cherry Blue MX.
Big ups to Cooler Master to sponsoring such a talent.
I will be leaning heavily towards buying CM gear from now.
I hope that they will start investing more into the Starcraft 2 community.

He's Korean, obviously both man, don't be silly


A majority of the current Korean progamers dropped out of high school or have not pursued post-secondary education in order to play the game full-time. Polt is an exception to the norm.

I own a CM Hyper 212 plus and knowing that Polt is sponsored by them, I know I made the right choice.

Grats to Polt. I own a CM Storm Spawn mouse, while it's nice, never really got used to it ergonomically though.

great deal for polt. he deserves it. one of the most skilled players on the scene. (even though i dunno how much his strength has suffered from studying abroad and practicing on NA...)

I find it hard to believe that strict asian parents would allow their kids to drop out.

finally he is back on a team - it was just a matter of time and i really didn't expect that he would be a free agent for a long time.

I find it hard to believe any parent would let them drop out to play SC2. What future do you have after SC2?

A lot of parents don't support them, but they chose to have a career in SC2 so they have to support their sons and daughters.

I have a quickfire TK I think it's called. The small one with the arrows merged with the numpad. It's my first mechanical keyboard and I really like it.
