Today Invictus Gaming, notable SC2 and Dota team, is announcing a sponsorship with SteelSeries that will be starting this weekend, at The International 2013. I also learned from this press release that they apparently have a CrossFire team.







Winning multiple Chinese national events since their inception back in 2011, Invictus Gaming has expanded their ranks to international levels. As winners of last year’s International II tournament, iG sustained their success through the remainder of 2012 with a 1st place finish in the 2012 G-League. Invictus Gaming’s Dota 2 squad will compete at The International III event, for their share of the growing $2.7 million dollar purse.



“Working with Invictus Gaming allows us to work with more of the best professional players from around the world, helping to aid in the continued growth and awareness of competitive gaming and global eSports. This partnership will also allow our team to work with iG in the development of our new competitive peripherals line-up,” said Marc Winther Kristensen, Sponsorship Manager at SteelSeries. “We are proud to be working with the iG organization; they strive for excellence in all of their players and share in our “winning is everything” attitude.”



“We’re really happy to be a part of the SteelSeries family. Our players have competed on the biggest stages across the globe and we’re excited to be working with such a distinguished company.” Said Liu Yuan, VP of Operations at Invictus Gaming.
