ROCCAT, the Hamburg-based manufacturer of professional gaming accessories,
becomes a new sponsor of the Intel Extreme Masters, strengthening the
existing collaboration between the manufacturer and the gaming community.
The Intel® Extreme Masters is the biggest event in the Electronic Sports
League (ESL) and at the same time has ranked number one among eSports
championships since 2006. This competition elevates games such as
Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft and Quake Live competitions to a global
standing.
In 2008, ROCCAT created an input device in the form of the ROCCAT™ Kone Max
Customization Gaming Mouse that plays right at the forefront of the global
premier league of gaming mice. The partnership between ROCCAT Studios and
the Intel Extreme Masters strengthens the existing collaboration between the
manufacturer and the gaming community where gamers are given the opportunity
to considerably influence products right from the early stages of
development.
René Korte, Managing Director of ROCCAT: “With the Intel Extreme Masters,
we’re supporting the world’s most important series of eSports tournaments.
As the peripheral provider to the Global Challenge, to be held in Chengdu,
China between October 1-3, 2009, pros and visitors will have the first
opportunity to try out ROCCAT’s upcoming products on the PCs at the Intel
Extreme Masters.”
