James “2GD” Harding – Host and Editor at ESL TV

It’s with great pleasure that we bring the Quake community a tournament the scene so desperately needed and which fans have eagerly anticipated. ESL TV aims to bring you the perfect balance of entertainment and insightful commentary with our years of broadcasting expertise. This is our first major step into QuakeLive. We aspire to build, nurture and invigorate electronic sports. We’d like to thank Razer for its ongoing eSports support. Without them this tournament wouldn’t have been possible. And we’re thrilled to team up and bring the quake community what should be an outstanding tournament.

Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, President of Razer

In 1999 Razer sponsored our first Quake invitational event in Stockholm Sweden and after 10 years we are proud to sponsor the ESL’s 2009 Quake Live Invitational. It is huge to be here for the next generation of Quake champions.

Good luck gamers!
