Although filled with controversy this year, the 2008 Summer Olympics will be happening this year in China. With a deal from Razer two professional WarCraft III players are going to be torch bearers as the torch makes its way to Beijing.



It is a great honor to be chosen as a torch bearer and it is good to see eSports stars taking part in the International event. GamesIndustry.biz has a short article about it and some comments about the torch bearers:

XiaoFeng "Sky" Li and Jaeho "Moon" Jang were chosen to join Team Razer from among ten professionals selected by the Beijing Organising Committee for the Games.

"Team Razer extends hearty congratulations to Sky and Moon, and we are just as excited as they are," said Robert Krakoff, president of Razer.

"Being a torch bearer at the Olympics is a momentous event, and this is a historic moment which will remain etched in their memories.

"This is symbolic of how much e-sports has grown and is great for the advancement of e-sports not only in China, but around the world," he added.


It is great to see both players being picked to represent the eSports scene, much less WarCraft III, in such an International spotlight. We wish the best of luck to Moon and Sky as they are honored to take the Olympic torch on it's way to China.
