Carlsbad, Calif. – 28th May, 2011 – Razer, one of the world’s pioneering supporters of e-Sports and FXOpen e-Sports, international competitive gaming powerhouse are excited to announce their coming-together to raze the StarCraft II playing field. FXOpen e-Sports competes with the world’s top teams and pro-gamers with Razer’s line-up of precision gaming gear.  

“With great competitions, entertaining live streams and an accomplished line-up of pro-gamers, FXO has truly made a name for themselves today,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, President, Razer USA.  “FXO also strive to bring forward e-Sports for the world, so we’re proud to support them in that mission.  This is a seriously kickass partnership and we’re proud to have them onboard with Team Razer.”

“I’ve been using the Razer Diamondback for a number of years when our sponsorship deal came around,” said Kevin “FXOqxc” Riley, Terran ace from FXO's StarCraft II team. “Since using the Diamondback I've tried a number of different mice from various companies but never found anything that comes close. More recently I started using the Razer BlackWidow and now, I'm not sure I could safely go back to a different keyboard. I'm really excited to be a part of Team Razer.”
