Razer sponsors TSL


tsl

The TeamLiquid StarLeague needs no introduction, only praising. Something was supposed to bring life back into the StarCraft community and the TSL perfectly filled the role, awaking legends and casual players alike. The $10.000 prize pool did miracles when it comes to the competition level, so we witnessed the big names in the non-Korean scene taking part.

Players like Germany Zerg Mondragon, Poland Protoss Draco, Ukraine Terran Strelok, Ukraine Protoss White-Ra, United State- Protoss Nony or Canada Protoss Iefnaij, they all gave competitive StarCraft a breath of fresh air, along with the TSL and iCCup managers.

Just now, Japan Manifesto7 announced that after many rounds of negotiations, they reached an agreement with Razer. What exactly happened there? Well, Razer agreed to be the official sponsor for the TSL, meaning that they will cover the full prize pool, as well as the streaming costs.

This is a major step for the non-Korean StarCraft community, and hopefully this great event will serve as an example to other companies willing to sponsor our competitive scene. For more information, check out the link below.

A BEAR would probably shred him apart. I recommend a BEER.

thats because TSL was created for all people except the Chinese and Korean players. the reason why they banned Chinese IPs is because there were many cases of lag which rendered the chinese-non-chinese games to be unplayable.
the reason why Korean IPS were banned is quite simple: they would have mercilessly raped all the other players ;p

I will be nicer when you are smarter.

China is good in Warcraft they also have decent SC players that tend to overrate themself. I guess 2-4 would have been in the ro of 16.

Anyway they would have no chance to win this. Mondragon is simply too strong.

Mondragon is better than any Chinese dragon.
