New York, NY March 24th, 2009 – QPAD, the Swedish company famed for its premium gaming gear, is proud to announce that they have partnered with the emerging Counter-Strike community and team, WinOut. This deal follows directly behind QPAD’s successful launch into the North America just two short weeks ago.
“Since our launch into the United States, we have been on the prowl for solid strategic partners that closely align themselves with what our brand stands for. After just a few moments of speaking with Doug from WinOut, I knew that we had to work with their community site as well as their emerging team. Their commitment to the scene at even the smallest level is what really attracted us to them. We are really proud to be signing this partnership and hopefully it leads to an enduring relationship.” – said Mark Dolven, QPAD USA.
As part of the partnership with WinOut, QPAD will be doing monthly promotional giveaways and contests on WinOut. This will give the fans and community members a chance to get their hands on the entire line of mouse pads and gaming accessories that QPAD offers.
“It’s because of people like Mark Dolven and QPAD, that gaming is where it is today. QPAD has an impressive history in Sweden, and we hope to help bring that status to North America.” – said Doug Jacobson, Owner, WinOut.
On March 19th, WinOut was able to acquire the former Frag Dominant Counter-Strike team. Through the partnership with QPAD, these players will be equipped with the finest mouse pads and gaming accessories on the market as they compete both online and live throughout North America. This past weekend, the team traveled all the way to Montreal, Canada where they were able to better 34 teams en route to a first place finish.
The current roster for the WinOut Counter-Strike team is:
Scott "evolution" Cavallero
Kevin "aZn[st]" Wang
Liridon "quas" Ademaj
