Announcing HyperX Head Sponsorship!

Text byLiquid`Nazgul
January 28th, 2014 16:13 GMT

TeamLiquid is proud to announce...


... that HyperX will be our new head sponsor in 2014!

HyperX (www.kingston.com/hyperx) has given the eSports scene an incredible amount of support throughout the years. While most fans first know HyperX through their series of RAM and SSD commercials featuring HuK and IdrA, the involvement of HyperX in eSports over the years has been so much deeper. DreamHack, Intel Extreme Masters, Incredible Miracle, Evil Geniuses, and Dignitas are just a few of the organizations they have worked with to help keep this scene going. We're proud that a company that has been so deeply involved in eSports has decided to not only sponsor Liquid, but has gone all out and become our new head sponsor. We're extremely happy to be working together with HyperX, and we'll do our best to represent them in a way befitting both of our reputations. Their support will allow us to expand our team in new and exciting ways in 2014.

Our team uniform will be updated to have the HyperX logo up front and center in our head sponsor spot, while our Dota2 team will be bringing an updated banner to tournaments as well.

Also, our players will be rocking some new gear to tournaments. After producing high quality memory and flash products for over 10 years, HyperX is now branching out into the audio market with a brand new headset, the HyperX Cloud. We had the pleasure of trying a couple of their prototypes, and they are some of the most comfortable headsets that we've used. From here on out, you'll see Liquid players using the new HyperX Cloud while streaming, at tournaments, and during a variety of other activities...

I want to give a special thank you to Shiny Things/The Little App Factory who have been with us since the beginning. They supported us before eSports became big in the West, back when we needed them the most. Without them, we could not have sent our players to Korea, enjoyed as much success in tournaments, or become the team we are today. Our relationship with Shiny Things has never been so much about business as it is about passion for eSports. I hope that every fan of Liquid and eSports appreciates all of the great things Shiny Things allowed us to accomplish. We'll continue to go forward with Shiny Things as one of our regular sponsors.

We've been working hard to finalize the deal and get the announcement ready, and we're happy that we can finally share this news with everyone. To celebrate the new sponsorship, we've already launched a giveaway on our facebook page. We've got SSDs signed by Liquid`TLO and Liquid`BuLba that will be won by two lucky fans!

We couldn't have hoped to start 2014 off in a better way. Along with HyperX, we'll make the Year of the Horse in Esports.

- Liquid`Nazgul

TeamLiquid has proven to be one of the most successful and influential teams in eSports and we are proud to give them our full support in 2014. We look forward to working with their Starcraft and Dota teams this year to bring their fans the best gaming content and competitive performance.

- Annie Leung, Global Strategic Marketing Manager, HyperX.

My HyperX Headset: The Movie

After consulting with industry experts and spending untold amounts on our effects budget, we handed the reins over to critically acclaimed director, Ken "Hot_Bid" Chen. The result is something spectacular. Have a look, and be sure to keep an eye on this one at Cannes.

I JUST bought a Crucial SSD over a Kingston one that was the same price. This might have changed my decision lol. I did buy HyperX for my laptop when I noticed they were sponsoring a LAN I was going to. When the product becomes a comodity basically you're buying customer support and community support (eSports).

Hopefully that sponsorship money will get them a few new players, TL rosters looks a bit too bleak to compete in teamleagues.

Happy for them, but kinda disappointed at the same time. Let's hope this sponsorship is just the start and they'll announce a new player soon or bring back TL Attack, HyperX Edition.

The movie from Hot_Bid is pure gold though! Goood job .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
