Pretty sure no participating player will use any of it, mainly because Roccat is bulky and not really high in quality and pros bring their own gear which they have to use because of sponsorship contracts and such. That's like Qpad sponsoring the ESWC some years ago by providing a set of ESWC-themed mousepads to them, except for Qpad actually throwing in a good amount of money for the prize-pool which Roccat (from the announcement) doesn't seem to have done for the WCS. Interesting what exactly should we get excited about in this sponsorship (unless they actually are giving the ESL/WCS money but they just want to keep quiet about that). I guess it could be a try out kinda deal which could become something bigger if Roccat feels satisfied with the response. But I'm certain that there is money involved already. Doesn't make much sense if not. | ||

The fucking recruitment adds from Starship troopers seem to be aimed at a smarter audience. The whole: "99999 DPI, get headshot super kills with no latency and 6 billion colors IT'S EXTREME GAMING E SSSSSSSSSSPORTS GAMING" is bad at best and cringe worthy enough to stop taking a company seriously forever at worst. There really are things that can make a mouse high quality and versatile, but those things are mainly it's weight, it's shape, the way extra buttons are placed so that they are still accessible while not forcing you to change the way you hold the mouse, the way it works on different surfaces, the durability of it, a more lag free wireless function than your usual wireless mouse... etc All those things can be reasons why someone with money to spare that spends a lot of time on the computer might spend time browsing trough mouses and finding one that fits than spending 100-300$ on it, the "EXTREME 66666666666 DPI mmmmEGA colors in 6 million varieties for ssssssuper skill" will make a young kids want it ( maybe ) and for the rest of the audience that is above the mental age of 10 it will simply sink in the name "roccat", a thing which can also be done with a way less annoying add. | ||
