CORSAIR, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced its title sponsorship with BIG, an esports organization based in Berlin, Germany. BIG has been making waves in the Counter-Strike community ever since its inception in January 2017, and has since proven to be one of the best CS:GO teams in the world, achieving multiple top placements and receiving invites to every recent major tournament. BIG burst onto the scene with a top 8 finish at the PGL Major Krakow, before landing two podium finishes at DreamHack Denver and Esports World Convention late in 2017. CORSAIR will be outfitting BIG with performance gaming keyboards, mice, and mouse pads to continue their triumph both in their home country and across the globe.

"Millions of dedicated gamers worldwide compete to get better every day, yet only a few manage to reach the top to play against the best teams and players in the world," said Daniel Finkler, CEO of BIG. "Ensuring you have the right equipment to compete is essential to keep up with the best. With CORSAIR on our side, we've equipped our team with the fastest performance gaming peripherals to give us the edge, and are proud to represent CORSAIR with our professional esports athletes."



"CS:GO is one of the most demanding games in esports competition, and having top caliber equipment can make the difference between winning and losing," commented Lauren Premo, Senior Manager of Gaming Marketing at CORSAIR. "That's why CORSAIR is thrilled to be partnering with BIG. With an amazing roster of some of the top CS:GO players in the world now armed with the very latest CORSAIR gear, we're looking forward to helping them elevate their game to unstoppable."

Im sure it is meant to say "demanded" rather than "demanding"

They talked about it as a sport, not as game. In my view it means it's demanding for the player, not for the rig he/she plays on.

Cant get over this E-Sport being a thing, specially with companys putting real money into it. Couldnt think of anything worse than sitting in a sports arena watching nobodys playing computer games. Would rather watch real sport and leave the games at home
