G-STAR KOREA: DAY 1 & 2

Great news, Razer fans! We finally arrived in Busan to attend this year’s G-Star 2010 for the first time ever. For those who haven’t heard about G-Star, it’s the biggest gaming exhibition in South Korea, and this year it’s taking place at BEXCO in Busan, South-Korea from 18th- 22nd November. Every year, the top gaming companies from Korea come to this event to unveil their latest projects, and this year we were right alongside them with a huge booth to greet our fans.

It’s no secret that Koreans are in love with StarCraft, so our StarCraft II peripherals (the Spectre, Marauder and Banshee) were naturally a huge hit. Our Korean fans even had a chance to meet a StarCraft legend: Nada from Team OGS. Players jostled for the chance to challenge him at our booth, using our StarCraft II peripherals for the competitive edge. The crowd went absolutely wild to see their idol in action, and we gave our prizes to the lucky gamers who were able to last 10 minutes in a match against Nada.

We also announced our brand new gaming keypad, the Razer Nostromo, which was showcased to the world for the first time at G-Star. Check this baby out because it’s going to help you do some serious damage.

It’s been two days of StarCraft II mayhem, gorgeous Korean babes and a lot of happy and impressed fans and gamers. Check out the photos below to catch the action for yourself!

Filefront interviews RotterdaM and HasuObs

While everyone is still on a Terranific high, the great guys from Filefront have decided to talk to the guys who eat, live and breathe StarCraft 2; none other than Team Razer‘s RotterdaM and HasuObs. Learn more about their StarCraft 2 strategies and maybe you can start charting your way to the Diamond League.

Here is an excerpt from the interview with RotterdaM:

FF: Is there a certain faction for each type of player, or can any player play any faction well?
I think there is a factor. It’s in my nature to be aggressive so Zerg or Protoss definitely fits best for me. It all depends on the play style you prefer but of course the choice is open for all. At the end of the day, if I started out as a Terran player, I don’t think I would be any worse off as compared to me now as a Protoss player. I would probably enjoy the game less though.

FF: Do you have any general tips for victory?
Scout well. Scouting is by far the most important aspect in any RTS. Other than that, train hard and believe in yoursel
