Team ROCCAT announce new sponsorship with AMD

Amd + ROCCAT = True!

I didn't see this one coming. But yes, it´s 100% true. Because Team Roccat and AMD now works together on a global scale. So it's going to be rather interesting to see what this partnership will lead to in the long run. Hopefully it will make Team Roccat even more successfull on the Esports scene.

And who knows, there might even be some super neat AMD/Team Roccat producs in the making as we speak?
