Along with the subject posted below, yesterday also featured announcement of the 3rd edition SteelSeries iron.lady Tournament in China.

The WarCraft III event, where the top8 female WarCraft III players in China are directly invited to compete for a 10,000RMB grand prize, has been running consecutively for three years, reaching an approximate viewer base of 3.7 million people in China alone.

Among the upgrades this year, we’ve introduced DotA as an additional game title in the tournament and also opened up for an international live stream and interaction channel via GirlGamer.com. :)

The tournament will run between January 29th - 31st (this weekend). Check out more information in the official SteelSeries iron.lady III press release, and browse through the re-cap of last years’ iron.lady Tournament over on the SteelSeries iron.lady II page.

Without making this sound like the ending scene of a dreadful hollywood action/romance blockbuster, “we never thought we would have come this far”.

During CES we sat down with a long list of media to present the recently released SteelSeries products - one of the journalists being Jo Garcia from GamerLiveTV. Kim Rom met with Jo and covered features, pricing, quality, development and basically everyhing you want to know about a new product, boiled down to a nice six-minute flick.

We’ve opened up a SteelSeries community over on Xfire not so long ago, and recently announced a quite awesome event where you’ll be able to meet/chat wtih Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen (One of the the most well-known faces within competitive gaming worldwide) as well as get the chance to challenge him in a WarCraft III match.

In contrast to other social media networks like Twitter and Facebook, Xfire basically allows for events like this to take place where we can bring the professional players and the fans together for awesome happenings. :)

Check out our official page on Xfire - all information regarding the Grubby event is on the community front page.

While a lot of attention is fixed on the current CES show in Vegas, it’s without any doubt worth mentioning this weekends’ MLG event in Orlando, where a total of $275,000 is up for grabs and the Halo3 teams representing Power Gaming and Fnatic have taken the trip from Europe to the US, to chase the top of the podium and the $100,000 1st prize.

Check out the “Road to Orlando” pre-event blog from Fnatic team manager George “x2sneeka” Siewert’s or head over to Power Gaming’s YouTube channel and cruise through the videos of their bootcamp with the top US team Str8 Rippin - more videos will be added throughout the event this weekend. :-)

Best of luck to both teams!
