Razer and Epsilon e-Sports Take to the Battlefield

RAZER AND EPSILON E-SPORTS TAKE TO THE BATTLEFIELD

 

California. USA – 27th September, 2011 – Razer™, the world’s leading high-end precision gaming brand, and Epsilon e-Sports, pioneers in European competitive gaming, are joining forces and taking to the battlefield in immense style.

Epsilon e-Sports, a European-based organization established in 2008, are breaking boundaries in worldwide e-Sports and challenging the very highest echelons of gaming in popular titles such as the Battlefield series, Counter-Strike: Source, Brink, Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty. For years now the Epsilon brand has been associated with the very highest gaming stock across multiple communities and platforms, spreading their passion for e-Sports.

“Epsilon have been showing they’re one of the most promising e-Sports organizations for the last few years, producing some of Europe’s most recognized players and teams,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, President of Razer USA. “We have every confidence that, equipped with our new line of Battlefield 3 products, the team will devastate the competition.”

With multiple international achievements between them, Epsilon’s Counter-Strike: Source team is one of Europe’s most distinguished, sporting players which hail from the CGS days, and some of the game’s greatest players to date. Among them, Slovakian superstar Marek “.PhP” Kadek, former Reason Gaming rifler and caller, and three former CGS and Team UK players in the shape of Henry “HenryG” Greer, Elliot “wEZ” Welsh and James 'wilzOOO' Wilson.

“Razer provides exactly what I need: quality and high performance gear to push myself to the very limit,” said Marek “.PhP” Kadek.” Being part of the Razer team is a fantastic experience, and I am very happy to finally be part of it.”

Epsilon will also be boasting one of Europe’s most promising and talented mix of gamers to enforce its future Battlefield 3 squad. This partnership between Razer and Epsilon e-Sports coincides with the pre-order launch of Razer’s Battlefield 3 Collector’s Edition gaming peripherals and the start of the Battlefield 3 Open beta on the 29th of September.

Composed primarily of the ESL Brink Championship victors, who took gold live on stage at GamesCom 2011 in Cologne, the team are also a group of highly experienced and accomplished players from several games including Battlefield 2, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Team Fortress 2. The players will look to build their future careers in the game whilst playing upon Razer’s battle-ready, newly released Battlefield 3 Collector’s Edition gaming peripherals, preparing them to take down even the mightiest of foes.

“We are absolutely thrilled with our new partnership with Razer,” said Epsilon e-Sports Manager Greg Champagne. “I have been using Razer’s peripherals for 10 years now, watching the brand grow into undoubtedly the world’s greatest gaming peripheral manufacturer, and now providing the complete range of Razer arsenal to our players just feels so right! With the imminent release of Battlefield 3, and our common goals set, we are 100% ready to face and take on any opposing teams who cross our path.”
