ESWC 2007.

One of the biggest eSports events in 2007 took place this weekend in Paris, France. Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) is usually one of the better events to visit and this year was no exception. It’s somewhat surprising that most European and American events still fail to entertain spectators and make an event interresting to visit, but the organizers of ESWC usually puts on a good show - this year was no exception. As a spectator it was amazingly easy to be constantly updated on round-by-round scores, and the main stage was as impressive as ever.

For SteelSeries and the teams we work with, this was an amazing weekend. The ladies in SK Gaming took the championship title in Counter-Strike Female, while PGS Gaming took the championship in Counter-Strike male. Both teams were using the full suite of products from SteelSeries, something we are all very proud of.

I managed to sneak into the SK ladies “dressing room”, right before they played the finals against the Chinese girls. Their manager, Alex, wanted to go over the tactics one las time..

And accidently opened a nude picture of himself..

At the show we announced the new SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset. So far reactions have been positive, people generally seems to like the design. The main concern I have heard so far is fear that the headset won’t be comfortable (and don’t worry, it is :P). Picture below..

More pictures, and the official announcement, available at SteelSeries.com.
