While moving to our new headquarter we made a quite interesting discovery at the very bottom of the product-stacks, stored at the former office.

Around year 2005 when NiP (Ninjas in Pyjamas) was busy ruling the world Counter-Strike-wise, we worked closely together with the team on product development, and had the guys sign a few of our products during a photo shoot in Copenhagen. Current mTw player whimp (The Titans member back then) was there as well and was kind enough to sign a few Icemat shirts.

So we figured: Instead of ebaying away these very rare items, we wanted to give you guys a shot at getting your hands on them - for free. The products available at this first competition are the following:

Icemat 2nd Edition Black (SteelSeries Experience I-2) - signed by Vilden.

White Icemat shirt - signed by whimp.

White Icemat shirt - signed by whimp.

Icemat Siberia (SteelSeries Siberia full-size) - signed on the back by NiP players Ahl, Potti, HeatoN, SpawN and Hyper.

SteelSeries 5Hv2 headband (not entire headset) - signed by NiP players Ahl, Potti, HeatoN, SpawN and Hyper.

NiP-Gaming The Revival t-shirt - signed on the back by NiP players Ahl, Potti, HeatoN, SpawN and Hyper.

The competition is quite simple: Write a comment to this post that describes the most memorable highlight from your time spent within the gaming community. Everything is acceptable - we just want to know what memory you find the most important and legendary of your gaming career. What comes to your mind? Being able to visit the very first CPL event? Playing a match against a professional team? Reading about your national team taking home gold in the Nations Cup? Winning an important final match with a 140 bpm heart rate?

If this competition has a decent turn-out, I promise to put up more old-school signed gaming gear and run more events like this in the very near future.

Good luck. :)

It’s been a few months since you last heard from us - our apologies. I’ll spare you with all the reasons for why we haven’t been updating our blog and cross my fingers that you will appreciate the work we’ve been doing, when seeing the outcome later this year. ;)

In the meantime our good friend over at DotA-League.com, Moritz, has been residing in Africa (Kenya) on and off for the past 6 months. Recently he told me about a rather funny episode, where he caught a monkey playing around with his Siberia Neckband and eventually tried to steal it.

After a couple of jokes and on-top-of-our-head ideas back and forth, he sent me these pictures:

Placing the bait (onions).

The dilemma of trying to get away with the onions or the headset.

Excellent pose.

THE cover shot. Spot-on acrobatic, intense and raw, yet stylish capture.

We found it rather interesting that not only homo sapiens are interested in having the best gaming gear, and so did Moritz - this resulted in a joint competition over at DL where you have the chance to win some quite cool SteelSeries prizes. Read more about the competition here - and have a nice day!
