Zainab “zAAz” Turkie – known to the gaming community as the hardest hitting female ever to play Counter-Strike – joins forces with QPAD in a long-term partnership, aiming to bring even more edge to the QPAD product line.
“I’m very excited about this, I just love their stuff and what they do! The people at QPAD are totally committed to being the best in the business – just like me – and they’re just so professional about everything they do.”
says zAAz, commenting on the new partnership.
20 year old zAAz is a girl to die for, and trust us on this one – if you ever come across her in a game of Counter-Strike – you will! zAAz first started playing CS at age 13. Pretty soon, her talent became obvious to everyone having to face her. Making a name for herself as the deadliest girl in the game, zAAz soon found herself in the heat of the battle, giving a new dimension to competitive gaming, earning frags for teams like Fnatic, MYM and Pink Zinic.
Sporting thousands of fans world-wide, zAAz has proven that the e-sport scene is a boy-only area no more. Having recently backed down from Team Fnatic and the 5 on 5-scene, zAAz – now keen on putting more effort in 1 on 1 competitions – will be part of the product development and marketing team at QPAD.
“For me, as a professional gamer, it’s all about dedication to the sport and putting in some hard work to achieve your goals. That’s where I really feel me and QPAD are on the same level. When I’m on stage, engaged in a frantic one-on-one, I need to be comfortable with the gear I’m using. Now, QPAD is one of those rock-solid brands, and hopefully, I can bring some valuable input to them, and make these fantastic products even better!”, says zAAz.
Fans will have a chance to see zAAz in action, at MediaMarkt in Kalmar 28th of May. She will also be appearing at DreamHack this summer.
