14 DAY TRIAL // Razer has decided to take a more active role in supporting the online gaming community, so it added its backing to a certain professional gaming team and portal.
The game portal It's Gosu started out as a community page meant to host tournaments, with their website going official only in 2011.
Since then, though, they quickly expanded and now support the Starcraft 2 team All 4 One, as well as a League of Legends team, and the Swedish Heroes of Newerth team JAGA. Recently, they even acquired the DOTA 2 squad EZ Style.
What It's Gosu does is host monthly tournaments with actual prizes (the February prize was $4,000) and support both professionals and new players.
Having now formed a collaboration with Razer, the portal may, among other things, start to offer gaming peripherals and other such items as prizes.
"To be able to announce a partnership with Razer is a dream come true to me in many ways. When we started our family here, the goal was to achieve success on multiple levels, games, and platforms" says Team Manager Scott "GoSuRuM" Ball.
"Through the hard work of our players and staff we are always moving forward like we strive to. When I look at the list of teams that are representing Razer with us, it reminds me of how much of an honor this really is. I know I speak for everyone here at It's Gosu when I say that we look forward to representing Razer's amazing brand throughout the world in our travels this year."
By the looks of things, Razer is just as eager to see this new partnership flourish as It's Gosu is.
"It's Gosu supports both professional gamers and the community simultaneously and its rise to success in North America has been phenomenal," says Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, president, Razer USA.
"These guys clearly hit the ground running and they don't look like they are going to stop anytime soon. Razer is extremely happy to offer aid to not only a team of experienced gamers but also a blossoming community. It's Gosu is definitely going places."
