“VeryGames have proven themselves to be one of the greatest Counter-Strike: Source teams of all time,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, President, Razer USA. “We’re glad VeryGames share our dedication and passion for e-Sports and we’re excited to see the continued growth of the organisation in 2012, as well as their valuable contribution to the development and validation of our newest peripherals.

Conceived in 2008, Team VeryGames has been synonymous with “success” ever since, not only dominating the domestic French scene, but being widely accepted as the world’s number one Counter-Strike: Source team. Team VeryGames is now ready to carry across their expertise to the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene when the game goes to full release.

Razer is a leading company in both the gaming industry and in the international e-Sports scene and we’re proud to use and promote their products.”
