IRVINE, Calif. — June 8, 2012 —Kicking off the 2012 Major League Gaming (MLG) Pro Circuit Spring Championship being held in Anaheim, Calif. from June 8-10, BenQ America Corp. today announced its the sponsorship of Netherlands-based real-time strategy (RTS) Warcraft III (WC3) legend and StarCraft® II pro, Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen. With worldwide recognition that includes six world championships, over a hundred other tournament wins, awards for best player and player of the year in eSports, inclusion in the World Cyber Games Hall of Fame, and being one of the most respected and followed professional gamers in eSports history, Grubby personifies BenQ’s commitment to “ConQuering the Game.”

“I’m excited to have BenQ as a main sponsor as I hit the road to participate in a slew of tournaments for the remainder of 2012,” said Grubby. “I’ve been very impressed with BenQ’s support of the professional gamer and look forward to collaborating with the product development team to offer my feedback on perfecting BenQ’s professional gaming monitors. I’ve been using the RL2450HT monitor and by far my favorite feature is the monitor’s Height Adjustable Stand (HAS). I’m happy to report that I have retired the two encyclopedias that I always carried with me while on the road.”

BenQ has been actively involved in the gaming community and believes in the continuous exchange of ideas and collaboration with legendary gamers towards optimizing its expanding line of professional gaming monitors. The successful launch of the RL2450HT this year was received with great enthusiasm by the gaming community. Sophisticated features designed specifically for the serious RTS gamer have made the RL2450HT the official competition monitor for numerous top-level gaming events. In North America these have included tournaments by MLG, E-Sports Entertainment (ESEA), Electronic Sports League (ESL), Texas e-Sports Association (TeSPA), and GIGABYTE™ eSports LAN (GESL), among others.

“Grubby is the ultimate champion and we’re excited to support his efforts as he leaves his mark as a StarCraft II player,” said Bob Wudeck, Director of Retail and e-Commerce at BenQ America Corp. “Supporting the growth of eSports and of pro gamers has enabled us to gain insider perspectives on essential details for winning RTS games, particularly the ability to acquire, assess, and respond to information quickly. The result, as with the RL2450HT, is features such as Black eQualizer and HAS design, offering gamers more viewing comfort and flexibility.”

Offering a 24-inch widescreen (16:9) full HD LED screen, 60-Hz refresh rate for smooth movement, an LED backlight engine for great color and low power consumption, and a 2-ms GtG response time with 12 million to 1 contrast ratio, the RL2450HT is packed with a number of innovative features. The RL Series RTS Mode maximizes visibility and optimizes color, while its Black eQualizer enables total visibility by allowing gamers to adjust the screen brightness without over-exposing white levels — revealing critical combat details with improved visibility in darkened areas. The RL Series Display Mode allows gamers to interchange between monitor screen sizes, while the Smart Scaling feature gives them the freedom to scale the screen manually to any custom size — from 17 to 24 inches — depending on their preferences. In addition, the unit’s adjustable height stand allows for optimal screen positioning.

In addition to the MLG Pro Circuit Spring Championship, Grubby is also preparing for the BenQ-sponsored MLG Pro Circuit Summer Championship being held from August 24-26 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and the MLG Pro Circuit Fall Championship taking place November 2-4. With prize pools of nearly $195,000 per event, some of the best teams from around the world will assemble to claim their portions.
