How not when their previous sponsor did manufactor a superior product (anyone who has used a zowie celeritas and any keyboard from razer will be able to confirm this) ?

This is actually awesome because at this moment Flash is really coming into SC2, can't wait to see some first person view of how he plays!

Id choose Zowie products over razer anyday of the year, and I am not taking into consideration the price tags yet. zowie have much better understanding about quality than razer who focus more on cool product names and catalog pictures etc

I have not liked any of the razer headsets. But I've used sennheiser for a while so might just be used to them. The Blackwidow is about as good of a keyboard as you can ask for. I just didn't like the glossy finish on it, also it might take someone like flash a little while to get used to the slightly shifted F keys. I love the goliath mouse pad but once again it might take him awhile to get used to. I am not sure about mouses since I've been happy with my logitech and never tried a razer mouse.

Overall I really doubt the change in gear will take more than a few days to get used to and then will have no effect on the KT player's play.

Oh yeah of course, on top of that you will never ever win/loose because of your gear. I'm just saying that the blackwidow is actually kinda bad compared to the zowie celeritas (I have used both quiet a bit and I don't even wanna touch the blackwidow anymore).

Well razer has to sell their stuff somehow, sponsoring every team on the planet in order to make fanbois n gurls buy it seems to be their way.

Anyway cant wait to see flash streaming!

I feel like it was silly to announce Razer is sponsoring them. I don't know didn't seem like a big deal too me. At least for them. IF Razer decided to sponsor root that would have been a big deal. The streaming thing is interesting. KESPA players especiailly never stream, and heck even winning korean players don't stream there builds. Like you never see MVP stream. FLash streaming will get 10k easily I bet. But I would expect to see really standard things, nothing crazy or exotic as he will save it for proleague and gsl.

I do think it's really annoying that he has to use all of this just becuase they sponsor the team now.

Like every other professional athlete in the world, ever. I am sure he doesn't really mind that much and in the end, his feedback may result in better products.

It should be fun to see him stream. Glad a Kespa team is getting involved with streaming. I bet they can find a way to have their players stream games but not impact their play overall.

so they will market flash now and Innovation will become the new godlike player. Doubt flash is not aware of what it means to stream for tournament results.

Can't agree with you that sponsoring Root would have been a "big[er] deal" than sponsoring KT Rolster or even Flash alone... Not in terms of viewer count, how much the foreign community cares, or the sponsorship's ability to actually sell their product. Knowing that Razer probably only cares about that last part, I'm guessing they're thinking that having a tip top pro like Flash using their gaming products, as opposed to a mid-tier pros like those in Root (no offense guys, I love you), shows that their hardware can be utilized at the top level. That's a question many wannabe gosus need answered because they're looking for any edge they can get. I would say that perhaps fans might go and buy their favorite pros hardware just so they can support them and be like them, but I'm not sure that gamers behave like that. Mice/headset purchases from what I have seen tend to depend on comfort/usability.

Either way, thank you Razer for playing a part in having KT Flash stream! Please convince his other teammates to do so as well!

FLash will break the internet the day he starts streaming. As for this hurting him, don't worry about it. He wont be using his best builds and will likely only be doing it for the fans and to maintain his mechanics.
