René Korte, Founder and CEO of ROCCAT:
“We are very happy to welcome DIMAGA to the team. He is a very successful and well-respected player within professional gaming, and he will be a perfect representative for our brand.”
Andrew Tomlinson, Founder and CEO of Cyber Sports Network:
"I was introduced to Dmytro through ChanmanV's show Climbing The Ladder. There, he discussed some of his personal struggles as a player, I knew immediately he would be a great player to work with. Chris was nice enough to connect us and a few weeks later Dmytro decided to accept our offer. Dmytro is a player that has been burned in the past; he's had his teams and sponsors that have fallen through. I am happy to say that Dmytro is not only a colleague, but a close friend and we are thrilled we have found an amazing partner for him to call his new home."
Dmytro "DIMAGA" Filipchuk, Professional Starcraft 2 Player:
"ROCCAT is amazing, and I hope my fans love them just as much as I do. To Roccat, Andrew and my fans thank you so much for believing in me. Keep supporting, there is more to come! <3"

Great step for DIMAGA. Really happy for him, seeing as how he hasn't been in a team for ages. I think this will let him continue to develop as the player we know he will be. Congratulations!

Interview with DIMAGA and Andrew on the deal: http://www.gamespot.com/news/starcraft-ii-pro-gamer-dimaga-signs-with-roccat-6409278
Ukranian StarCraft II player Dmytro "DIMAGA" Filipchuk has signed on to represent the German manufacturer of gaming peripherals Roccat in competition and media. It is a one-year deal for an unspecified amount of money.
"Sadly, Mortal Teamwork had problems with their sponsors and went bankrupt," Filipchuk told GameSpot. "Roccat and its management have a strong heritage in eSports, and they are really committed to professional gaming. I’m happy to join a team where everyone is 100 percent motivated to achieve their goals. I feel that I get the support I need here."
Most recently, Flipchuk’s manager, Cyber Sports Network Founder Andrew Tomlinson, negotiated similar deals with the other players he manages, including Korean StarCraft II players. Kim "viOLet" Dong and Hwan Choi "Polt" Seong Hoon. Last August, Tomlinson negotiated a one-year deal between Dong and Azubu, and most recently, a one-year contract between Seong and computer hardware manufacturer Cooler Master, along with the energy drink NOS.
"Based off of the offers we have received from teams, the deals structured with these sponsors have much better financial capabilities as well as a sense of financial security for the players so they can focus their efforts towards preparing for matches," Tomlinson told GameSpot.
