On the 18th of February, Fnatic kicked off their StarCraft II Rookie Draft and I wanted to make sure you guys are aware of this project. :)

Basically, the Rookie Draft opens up the possibility of 4 amateur StarCraft II players to become professional players in the Fnatic organization. The draft initially went through a 10-day phase of public ladder games to identify the top32 players, who where then announced yesterday in 8 different groups. Top2 of every group will eventually move on into playoffs where the final 4 players of the new Fnatic StarCraft II team will be found.

This way of recruiting players is extremely exciting and I’m eagerly following the progress. Check the Fnatic news posts below for more information on the draft.

Europe’s premier DotA Community, DotA-League, just announced prizes for the huge Pick League XIII where we’ve added a broad mix of SteelSeries products as well as a 1.000 EUR cash prize to the top finishers of the numerous league divisions.

If you’re into DotA in general, I suggest you get involved with DotA-League - if not for the Pick League, then for their SIG’s or Farm4Fame tournament. :)

An exciting project of ours went live this Monday in France, where the French are able to get their hands on the extremely limited Golden-themed SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse.

Final note: Only 100 of these babies were produced. Worldwide. :)

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. :)
