Taipei (Taipei Game Show) – 31st January, Thursday – Razer, one of the world’s pioneering supporters of e-Sports, is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with Taipei Assassins, the leading League of Legends e-Sports team in Taiwan.
Taipei Assassins, previously known as FTW, achieved excellent results in the Asian League of Legend scene. After a phenomenal year that saw Taipei Assassins clinch victory at the League of Legends Season 2 World Championship, crowning them the best team in world, Razer is excited to continue their partnership and extend to the newly formed team Taipei Sniper, led by former TPA player Mistake.
“We have always been proud of Taipei Assassins’ achievements in the Asian gaming scene, and by winning the World Championship they showed the rest of the world they are a force to be reckoned with,” said Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO of Razer. “Their high level of professionalism and commitment to the e-Sports scene is what we need and I can’t wait to see what they can do in 2013.”
Currently led by team captain “Toyz” Kurtis Lau, Taipei Assassins made international headlines when they beat 11 other teams in claiming the League of Legends Season 2 World Championship; and by doing so winning the grand prize of US$1,000,000.
“Being sponsored by Razer has opened many doors for us,” said Jason Pan, E-sports Brand & Market Manager. “Razer has definitely given us a winning edge over our competitors and I hope this partnership will continue to expand both parties’ presence in Taiwan and aboard.”
