It is a proud day for us in Razer and for the community, to officially announce that one of the world’s best gaming teams hailing from South Korea – WeMade FOX has joined Team Razer!

WeMade FOX is one of the most well established pro-gaming teams in Korea having left their mark in the Starcraft, Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike competitions domestically and also internationally.

WeMade FOX’s popularity also derives from its star-studded line up that will get any e-gaming enthusiast salivating. Lee “NADA” Yun-Yeol, a long time member of the team, has challenged for honors at prestigious competitions such as Blizzcon, SKY ProLeague and has won the recent IeSF (International e-Sports Federation) tournament to prove that he is one of the best Starcraft players around.

Being highly comfortable with the Terran race, Lee “NADA” Yun-Yeol was given the nickname of “Genius Terran” for his creative strategies and excellent micromanagement abilities.

Another familiar face would be Warcraft 3 juggernaut, Jang “Moon” Jae Ho who has amassed tons of awards in his career as one of the world’s best Night Elves. He has come in first place at the ESWC Masters, Dreamhack, Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals and has also won for himself the ESports Award Player of the Year, Best Warcraft 3 Player and Korean Player of the Year in 2008.

WeMade FOX ‘s Counter Strike team has also been a very consistent feature in the clan’s stable, coming in second place in 2009’s Intel Extreme Asia Masters and DTS-CUP and are striving for further honors in future tournaments.

The decision for the guys at WeMade FOX to jump aboard the Team Razer bandwagon was easy; with both Razer’s and WeMade FOX’s vision being the same – to be the absolute best in gaming. “We are more than happy to sign with Team Razer. For years, Razer has been known to have made the most cutting-edged gaming hardware which has been key to our high level performances in the many tournaments we participate,” said Young-Hwa Kim, Head Leader of WeMade FOX. “Now with all our members decked out in Razer gear, I’m sure our performances will improve during training which I’m confident will translate well when we take it to the tournaments.”

“As a team packed with such brilliant individuals, WeMade FOX are a dangerous proposition for any competitors in the eSports arena,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president of Razer. “I’m proud to have WeMade FOX as part of our illustrious group of cyber athletes. I’m sure that we can work with them, as with our other teams, to develop better gaming hardware and push the threshold for gaming technology outfitted solely for gamers in mind.”

Game Guru from India recently had time to chat with our big man, Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, for some insights on where Razer stands in the world of gaming and our venture into motion sensing gaming and peripherals. Below are excerpts from the interview:

GG: Can you elaborate on the collaboration with Sixense for motion sensing and gesture recognition controller technology for the PC? It brings to mind Sony’s Motion Controller for PS3, any comments?

RK: This technology marks the next step in user interface technologies for gaming on the PC. Razer and Sixense scientists and engineers along with select PC OEM partners are working on an ultra-precise one-to-one motion sensing hardware that uses electromagnetic fields to track precise movements along all six axes for use in current and future generation PC games. The absolute controller position is tracked to within a mere millimeter for positioning and to a degree for orientation.

GG: Will the new controller also have force feedback?

RK: Nothing is firm at this time, but the plans are yes it will.

GG: Will this technology be useful for things other than gaming? (like in the fields of medicine, defense, etc.)

RK: Gaming is our primary focus. Based on the way Razer approaches the hardware and finds methods to enhance tracking and latency, there should be no limitations for gaming or other applications. For Razer, we will be happy to make a successful gaming hardware since that is the business we know and love.

Head on to read the rest of the interview right over here.

You like TF2 right?  Of course you do.  How about free stuff? That one goes without saying.  Now what if you could combine the two? What if you could get free stuff just for playing TF2?  How could you say no to that?  Why are we asking so many questions?

Well we’ve partnered up with EVGA to drop all kinds of answers. Clear your calendars for two weeks starting Feb 12th, follow the link, and rejoice in the awesome that is the Nemesis Festival.
