Hey all,

The contracts have been signed and we now own PiG's soul! (joking).

Thermaltake and Tt eSPORTS would like to publicly welcome Jared "PiG" Krensel into the Tt family. We will be joining an 'elite' group of personally sponsored players, becoming the second person worldwide to have this privilege.

Now with White-Ra and PiG under our names, Tt eSPORTS is proving to the community that you can be a bad-ass at games, but still take out some time to not only help and coach your fans, but just be an all round nice guy.

What does this mean for PiG? Well a few things, he already has some awesome Tt eSPORTS swag and has changed his account name to TtPiG, but you will see him on a ton more LAN/Online tournaments and in the future, his face will be plastered in magazines and shop windows, really bringing home the fact that if you want to be a professional gamer in Australia, it's not just a dream! (But don't stress guys, he still does coaching).

Chris "Mayo" Smith, Tt eSPORTS Aus/NZ Community and eSports manager had a few words to say about this partnership:
Quote:
In Tt eSPORTS we pride ourselves heavily in promotion and support of the community. Professional gaming in Australia is not only the companies goal but my personal goal as a gamer. When I can walk down the street and see Counter Strike and Starcraft names on billboards will be a day I am truly happy.

Sponsoring someone like PiG makes perfect sense to us, not only has he rapidly climbed to the top of the competition ladders, he is well known through the community as a good guy. He runs his weekly shows for free to help out the community and offers coaching for a discounted price (often doing overtime for no charge)

Jared "PiG" Krensel stated:
Quote:
I've been in the competitive scene of starcraft 2 for nearing a year now and am full-time player and coach for close on 6 months. I've poured my soul into this game and am really glad that Tt have seen my efforts and allowed me to come on-board to represent them through Starcraft 2

Tt have shown a long-term committment not just to myself but to the entire SEA scene. These guys have looked at the passionate community of players and fans here and seen the potential and are backing multiple tournaments, giveaways and producing quality viewing content on an almost daily basis. I'm really looking forward to being able to represent Tt in an official capacity!

Once again, welcome to the family mate and enjoy your stay.
