]]>Last week brought in the conclusion of our first full international tournament, the Vertagear Cup. No longer wanting to sit by the sidelines, we felt it was necessary to contribute back to the community that supports us. The results? Our proudest moment in the competitive gaming scene to date.
The Vertagear Cup was fully free to enter and completely open to all teams. We wanted to allow an avenue for both seasoned teams and raising stars to compete on the international stage.
Watch live video from GameWard_Heroes on www.twitch.tv
A total of 39 unique teams participated in the Vertagear Cup, totally 195 players large. Lest there be any doubt, the competition was intense up until the very end. After weeks of brutal competition, 4 of the 39 teams remained: Begenius, Shame on You, AE Insecure, and Le Trefond. A huge surprise came through during the last rounds when Team Le Trefond took the 2nd place standing away from AE Insecure, which many expected to at least be in the top 2 but ended up having to settle for 3rd place.
With Begenius and Le Trefond remaining, expectations were up in the air as to who would take the championship. Le Trefond was in for a challenge however, as Begenius had already established its reputation as one of the best Heroes of the Storm teams in Europe.
After a tight final round, Begenius lived up to its namesake and took home the top spot, leaving little doubt in the minds of fans that the team has a strong stake in Heroes of the Storm. But it was a close race, with fans from both camps on the edge of their seats with a final score of 15 to 16, going to Begenius. If there was ever a finishing round that held viewers breaths, this was it.
Our tournament was put together with help from our friends at Razer and Gameward. Without their help, Vertagear Cup wouldn't have been possible. With the first Vertagear Cup now closed, we're working on making the next tournament even bigger.
]]>If there's one person in the world who gives us love from the deepest parts of the soul, that would be our mom. For some of us, our mom may not even be our biological mom. For some, our father's have played both the role of mom and dad, and for others, their adopted mom has played that role. There are those who have had their sisters play that role.
Whatever the case may be, our mom's sacrifice an unimaginable amount of time, effort, and care for us, devoting their whole self to the growth of each of us. No one gives as much of their body, mind, and soul as the person we call our mom's, and for that we owe them everything.
True story: my own mother is not a very good driver. In fact, she's pretty awful, and I've always thought that she shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car. But for all her flaws, she's been great at everything else.
Always the calm and collected soul, she teaches me with kindness. She never raises her voice, and has the patience of a rock. Sometimes this doesn't go over so well. She often reminds me of things that are beneficial for me but which I don't want to hear repeated again. We all know that it's difficult to nearly impossible to change someone from the outside in—so I often feel she's wasting her breath.
But she never feels that way. She marches on, day after day, preaching the same things.
Recently, my mom got into a car accident—not her fault—and now suffers from whiplash. She was hit behind at a red light from a person who was driving too fast, and texting on the phone. A terrible situation for anyone to be in. My mom now has back and neck aches, and sleeps uncomfortably at night, often waking up several times through the night due to pain.
Working for a gaming chair company, I figured what better way to help her than to find a chair that she can sit on that would lessen her aches. I've tried many. Unfortunately, all the Vertagear chairs are at the office, and I haven't yet given her a shot at the Triigger, but soon. She's tried firm, soft, and all sorts of chairs, but ended up feeling most comfortable on a dining room chair that keeps her upright. When you have this kind of injury, normal sitting positions that feel comfortable to us, may end up causing unbearable pain to a person suffering from an injury.
This made me realize that mom's run around a lot for us. They've probably been to the moon and back several times to care for us. The least we could do is make them comfortable.
If you're in search of an uncommon gift for mom this weekend, consider getting them something comfortable to sit down on. Whatever you end up choosing though, it's the thought that counts, and your mom will appreciate it.

Today, the final pair for the event was unveiled. The full player list can be seen below.
The tournament is the first high-profile 2v2 tournament to ever be hosted in the realm of CS:GO. Last year’s champion, Richard “shox” Papillon of G2 Esports, saw a resurgence in form after staking his claim to the 1v1 throne; will this year’s tournament see a similar story with the winning pair?
Returning to the desk are Matthew “Sadokist” Trivett, Henry “HenryG” Greer, and Pala “Mantrousse” Gilroy Sen. Joining them is former Australian captain and current CS:GO analyst Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill. Like last year, the casters figure to be in the limelight, taking viewers through one of the most off-the-cuff broadcasts in esports.
Our chairs will be on stream throughout May 13-14 at twitch.tv/htc! Keep a look out for the promotion we will be running alongside the event.

]]>Having already won PC Gamer's coveted best pick, the SL Racing Series continues to be the publications favorite go-to chair. Our SL-4000 was featured in a recent PC Gamer hardware video talking about the new Corsair One gaming PC.
We chatted briefly with PC Gamer's head of hardware and Maximum PC Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Tuan Nguyen, about why the publication chose the SL series.
Vertagear: What made you guys pick the the SL series as a top pick when you guys received chairs from many other companies?
Tuan: Well, our main concern was that many companies are producing chairs. We were looking for a standout option. That meant focusing in on quality. I think it's in the details really. There's this saying, "good from far, but far from good," and that is true here. Look closely at the stitching, the seams, the components. You can immediately see which companies are in it because they know what they're doing and care about what they're doing, versus which ones are in it for a money grab.
Vertagear: What about comfort?
Tuan: Comfort is pretty subjective. But we've sat around in many of them. One of my favorite features of the SL series is its ability to fully recline. Sometimes after long hours of writing and editing, you just want to lie down and stretch out. The SL-5000 that I use at work basically let's me fall asleep at the office.
Vertagear: You sleep on the job?
Tuan: No! But sometimes I stay back at the office late into the evening, and if I eat dinner at the office, the SL-5000 allows me to lie down and take a comfortable nap. I've done that several times already. It works great.
Vertagear: Okay. What chair were you using before?
Tuan: An Aeron—I was using that for a while. The thing I learned about the sitting on the SL though, was that it actually keeps me awake and alert while working. It's not so plush that you feel too comfortable and relaxed. It's got just enough firm support that I can understand why pro gamers use them. They just give you that alert feeling. And this isn't hyperbole either. It does work—at least for me.
Vertagear: What games do you play while at the PC?
Tuan: Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Diablo 3, Subspace: Continuum, Star Citizen. That's pretty much the extent of my gameplay. Not too many, right?
Vertagear: That seems like a small list considering you work for PC Gamer.
Tuan: Yeah, my friends tell me it's absurd that I work at PC Gamer and I don't actually play many games, or play that often.
Vertagear: That does seem strange! Any recommendations for us?
Tuan: Hard to say. You guys are the experts, so I'll let you decide. But if I had to think of something, I'd let me mix and match parts from this chair with parts from that chair. You know what I mean?
Vertagear: We hear you. Thanks for answering our questions!
Tuan: Sure!

From Call of Duty, to Counter Strike: Global Offensive, to Halo, the Immunity team keeps getting stronger and stays true to its namesake.
It's no wonder that the razor focused team chose to not only use Vertagear's products, but join with us as partners. But Team Immunity puts it best in its own words:
The entire team chose to go with Vertagear's award winning SL-5000 Racing Series chairs for use on the field and at home.
Vertagear takes the same approach to the scene as Team Immunity to the game: dedication, devotion, and determination. We've been playing games for years ourselves, so we understand what it takes to climb up to the summit.

]]>The heat is on in the latest showdown in CS:GO: Vertagear jumps in on the highly-anticipated HTC 2 vs. 2 tournament, featuring a total of 8 teams.
The setup is intense. 8 teams featuring 2 hard-edged players will go head to head between May 13 to May 14 in Bucharest, Romania. There's no better setting for it. Situated in the heart of Europe, selected teams will be flown in for a chance at $50,000.
Not one to miss out on a community event, Vertagear will be on location during the showdown to provide support and product. Is it going to be intense? You bet. Will there be huge upsets? We hope so. Is only one pair going to walk away with a top 1st-place prize of $20,000? That's $10,000 per player. But even those in the lowest ranks will be able to take home a cool $2,500.
Right now the teams and players are a mystery, but expect the lineup to be fierce.
The team at Vertagear is thoroughly hyped up for the event. But we're staying neutral. No guesses at who will be picked. But you can bet that when the results play out, it'll be either the expected win or a huge shocker. Let's go for shocker.

Los Angeles, California, April 6, 2017 – If you’re going to play, play hard—and while you’re doing it, make a bold statement. Vertagear is proud to introduce a number of custom color editions to the venerable SL5000 racing series gaming chair.
The SL5000
The SL5000 is one of Vertagear’s award winning racing-style chairs designed and molded around comfort and ruggedness. Inspired in design, function, and features from genuine F1-bucket racing seats, the SL5000 provides critical seating support for the most intense gaming sessions. Previously only available in carbon black, Vertagear today introduces four new bold color combinations, for a total of five unique designs, for the discerning gamer:
SL5000 Black and Blue trim
SL5000 Black and Green trim
SL5000 Black and Red trim
SL5000 Black and White trim
SL5000 Carbon black
The SL5000 is quite simply the quintessential bucket-racing gaming chair. But don’t take just our word for it: the editors at PC Gamer had this to say:
“The real key to the SL5000 is its build quality. Upon close inspection, you can tell that someone at the Vertagear factory has an eye for detail. Stitching is uniform and aligned, materials feel like they're straight out of a BMW or Lexus, and fit and finish are top notch.” – The Best Racing-Style Gaming Chair, PC Gamer, February 25, 2017.
At Vertagear, we know that every gamer has his or her own style. With the new exclusive race inspired color editions, your SL5000 is now made to custom fit into your play environment.

]]>We can't say we were surprised, but we're honored to have been chosen as PC Gamer's best pick for its best racing-style gaming chair guide.
The folks at PC Gamer reached out to us some time ago, asking us if we'd like to submit our chairs for evaluation. They let us know too that we wouldn't be alone: they were going to get in chairs from everyone else. We weren't told how we'd be evaluated, only that it would take time to test. No doubt, PC Gamer had to get its staff to use our chairs over an extended period of time, with a mix of different body shapes and sizes.
The verdict? Vertagear took home top honors for our SL5000 Racing series chair. According to PC Gamer:
"The real key to the SL5000 is its build quality. Upon close inspection, you can tell that someone at the Vertagear factory has an eye for detail. Stitching is uniform and aligned, materials feel like they're straight out of a BMW or Lexus, and fit and finish are top notch."
Attention to detail, material quality, and manufacturing prowess are things we pride ourselves on. We couldn't have said it better:
"Vertagear's build quality is miles ahead—even the casters on the SL5000 have a high-quality feel to them and roll very smoothly."
We build products we want to use ourselves, and we're proud of the team for being vetted by PC Gamer.

All major teams are in. You've got CLG, Cloud9, Echo Fox, Denial eSports, Luminosity, and more. We're rooting for Echo Fox of course. but of course, may the best team win.
