iBUYPOWER is Proud to Add a Partnership with Counter Logic Gaming

 

May 15, 2013 – City of Industry, CA – Just like the fast pace of technology, iBUYPOWER refuses to stand still. One such group of gamers shares this passion.
 
We’re extremely proud to announce that Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) is now part of Team iBUYPOWER. 
 
Founded in April 2010 by George “HotshotGG” Georgallidis, CLG has been around since the very beginning. As a matter of fact, CLG is the oldest active League of Legends team. This kind of perseverance is rare, and iBUYPOWER is honored to support CLG.
 
“CLG is excited to start working with and representing iBUYPOWER in their effort to bring power to the player” said George ‘HotshotGG’ Georgallidis, President and Co-Founder of CLG, 
 
“iBUYPOWER has already shown their commitment to eSports having been partnered with Major League Gaming (MLG) for over a year now. Every event, we noticed how much we enjoyed the PC's we were playing on until someone said; ‘We need to get these at the gaming house.’ Now, I’m happy to say we’ve made that happen.” 
 
From the day we started this initiative, we promised the gaming world several things: we would be involved, we would help promote esports, and support the community directly. We’re going to march forward and see this through.
 
Come play with us.

iBUYPOWER Pushes eSports Further to the Community with Vulcun Command

 

May 3, 2013 – City of Industry, CA – There’s nothing like rooting for the underdog and then coming out on the winning side. iBUYPOWER finishes its week-long grand slam with the joining of Vulcun!
 
Up until recently, Vulcun was tested. Tested through competitions and internal struggles. Through perseverance, Vulcun managed to overcome all odds and rise as a star team of determined players. Accepting nothing less than the best, Vulcun has shocked the scene with surprising victories. iBUYPOWER feels strongly that Vulcun’s story even resonates with people and their daily lives, and we’re happy to be part of their journey.
 
“Talent is one thing to achieve success in League of Legends. The other is to make sure your equipment performs as top notch as your team. iBUYPOWER will give us what we need to succeed and be number one next season!” says Zuna, AD Carry for Vulcun.
 
Vulcun is on the way to achieving great things, and iBUYPOWER is proud to support them and many others like them. There’s a saying that goes something like: no one ever did anything great on their own. Together with the community, and inspiring teams like Vulcun, iBUYPOWER is going to push eSports further and bigger than it has ever been.
 
Cheers to the beginning.

With 12 million video views on Twitch.tv and 62,000 subscribers, making his mark previously as an audacious pro League of Legends gamer, PhantomL0rd has elevated himself to a level few people ever reach. In that regard, we at iBUYPOWER strive to do the same. It's never easy, but nothing in life worth doing ever is.
 
PhantomL0rd had a few words himself:
 
“I've met these guys and honestly feel happy representing them. They won't just be another brand you will see in the market but a company passionate about helping people gets what they need. Also, they ACTUALLY play League.”
 
And there is the nail in the head. At iBUYPOWER, we actually really do play the games that we build systems for. Whether it's League of Legends, StarCraft 2, Battlefield 3, or something else, we all play.
 
There's no doubt in our minds that supporting the community is the right thing to do. We hope you're as excited as we are in our initiative to push the eSports scene forward.
 
And we've only just begun.

iBUYPOWER Welcomes Beyond The Summit to the Team

May 1, 2013 – City of Industry, CA – iBUYPOWER is on a roll. There’s no stopping. Today, we’re excited to support the Dota2 scene by partnering with Beyond the Summit (BTS), a kick-ass Dota2 broadcast organization.

Formed by David “GoDz” Parker and David “LD” Gorman, this high energy, high-impact team has risen to gain the respect of the entire Dota2 community, and then some. Having surpassed 1 million unique viewers, 1 million total hours watched, and 3.7 million video plays in last December’s 14 days of streaming alone, Beyond the Summit has experienced explosive growth that few others can match.

iBUYPOWER takes a cue from David and David. Here at iBUYPOWER, we believe in progressively iterating as we move forward, improving our way of doing things, and giving a better experience to those who choose our brand. The only way to do something is to do it right the first time. Now, we are doing it together!

"Our sponsorship from iBUYPOWER means Beyond the Summit can continue to focus and improve upon the things which matter most to us: the community and the quality of our product. We can create content while on the road using their Valkyrie gaming laptops and also provide giveaways and events for the fantastic BTS community. We look forward to growing the Dota 2 scene even further thanks to this partnership and are very thankful towards iBUYPOWER for it," say David and David.

iBUYPOWER is excited to empower Beyond The Summit with resources and tools to continue doing what they do best. In fact, they are hosting the Eastern Qualifier for Valve’s $1.6 million tournament, The International 3, later this year!

We continue to look for opportunities to reach out to community figures who give an incredible amount back to the gaming community and give them support. There’s a lot more to come. No rest for the weary!

With an army of followers and subscribers, Protatomonster has taken themselves and the game further than anyone previously anticipated. Nearly 500,000 Youtube subscribers, and 43,000 Facebook Likes, it's no secret that they're awesome at what they do. And iBUYPOWER, wants to support them all the way.

"With iBUYPOWER's support we should have an much easier time releasing videos and content on YouTube with their powerful and high performance PCs. Decreasing the render time of our videos will help increase the speed we can release content, as well as quality we can render the video at without crashing our PC. iBUYPOWER will be supplying us with some awesome PCs and we're very grateful to them supporting the community and can't wait to be working with them,” exclaimed Protatomonster.

iBUYPOWER plans to support all aspects of the gaming community through it's “Every day is an eSports” initiative. We recognize that a gaming PC is just that, without the passion of the players behind them, and we're ecstatic to be at the forefront of gaming.

iBUYPOWER Brings Power to the Community Starting with Tastosis

 

April 29, 2013 – City of Industry, CA – iBUYPOWER is excited today to announce the beginning of the fusion between PC gaming and eSports in epic proportions.

 

In partnership with eSports Management Group, acclaimed and celebrated casting duo Tastosis forges an alliance with high-performance systems provider iBUYPOWER to bring eSports to an ever-growing audience of gaming enthusiasts.

 

Nick “Tasteless” Plott, and Dan “Artosis” Stemkoski bring with them three illustrious years of eSports entertainment and commentary. Together as “Tastosis,” the pair has amassed millions of viewers on a global scale. Casual fans as well as die-hard gaming veterans know that when there’s an anticipated matchup, Tastosis is on the scene.

 

“I stream StarCraft a lot and without the rig from iBUYPOWER there is no way I’d have the capability to run the game on high settings and stream it. I’ve said this before, but if you chose one word to describe me, it’d be “StarCraft” and iBUYPOWER contributes heavily to putting StarCraft on a global eSports stage. That combined with their awesome rigs made it a no-brainer to want to represent them,” said Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski.

 

“I really like to align myself with companies that I feel do right by their customers, and support eSports. iBUYPOWER not only provides high quality sick gaming systems that give the power to run any game, but they make it easy and affordable. Any streamer will tell you how taxing streaming a game on high,” said Nick “Tasteless” Plott.

 

Bringing gaming to the community and engaging involvement directly from players is something that both sides are passionate about. But this is just the beginning.

iBUYPOWER Defines Next-Gen PC Gaming With the New Revolt

January 08, 2013, CES, Las Vegas, NV – Elevate above the ordinary; iBUYPOWER is proud to be ushering in a new era of PC gaming lifestyle.

 

Announcing a revolutionary new gaming experience: the Revolt. Designed to combat the stale black and beige box image of desktop PCs, the Revolt combines radical chassis design and re-engineered internal components to create the most exciting PC gaming experience in existence.

 

“We didn’t look to the industry for inspiration when we were developing Revolt. What we looked for was the burning question of, what would we like to have on our own desks? We wanted to shake up the industry and make something beautiful. This is what Revolt is,” said Darren Su, Co-Founder and VP of iBUYPOWER.

 

The Revolt is designed from the ground up to be the system you want to show off. Despite its unassuming size, there’s nothing unassuming about it. Exclusively powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics and the fastest Intel CPUs available, Revolt propels effortlessly through the most demanding games.

 

Key advancements in system design include liquid cooling, compact and efficient power supply, advance component support and layout.

 

Detailed discussion of key features below.

 

Designing from the ground up was just the beginning. The Revolt introduces a radically new overall design, focusing on both jaw dropping design on its exterior and interior. As sleek and clean as it is on the exterior, Revolt is equally well designed on the interior. iBUYPOWER throws out the old, and brings forward an integrated lighting system and aggressive chassis design to add an edge to the most hardened PC gaming bunkers. The Revolt's atmospheric lighting system is customizable in color and in mode, so gamers will have a blast integrating it into their lifestyle.

 

Efficient cooling design. True to iBUYPOWER’s gaming and enthusiast roots, Revolt was designed with overclocking as a key design spec. The Revolt’s cooling profile remains superior to many full-size desktops, thanks to a highly efficient design – all key performance components are cooled through specific airflow channels. The chassis structure also minimizes noise generation from excess fans common in standard gaming desktops. To maximize CPU overclocking ability, Revolt is liquid cooled with a full-size 140mm radiator.

 

Elevate to a truly custom system. The Revolt demonstrates improvements beyond a custom chassis and layout. While still fitting most standardized components for future user upgrades, the Revolt includes a number of customized internal components designed to maximize usability, stability, and overclockability. The mini-iTX motherboard and internal peripherals are specially designed to enhance the functionality of the system, with user-installable upgrades and overclocking features.

 

Power up. The Revolt is powered internally through a redesigned server-class power supply. This server-based approach puts efficiency, reliability, and true power output at the forefront, opposing the cost-cutting and relabeling common in many consumer power supplies. The Revolt’s power supply is made with advanced materials to enhance efficiency thereby reducing heat output and improving its cooling characteristics.

 

Customize and pre-order your Revolt system at http://www.ibuypower.com/Info/Revolt/home.aspx

 

The Revolt will be available for purchase in February 2013.
