Statement from ESV TV Owner/CEO Patrick Soulliere II
I am very pleased to enter this partnership with ASUS ROG. I was always impressed with the product and tournament this orginization has put out in the past, and it made a perfect fit for the Korean Weekly. I feel the Korean Weekly is the true premiere weekly tournament in the Starcraft II scene, and would only like to parnter with the biggest and best companies around and ASUS ROG is in that category. They offer a great, professional, and well ran Starcraft II tournament, and those are the major qualities I look for in partner tournaments.

I think this will be the start of a long and great partnership and can't wait to see what great games the players bring to the table to get that shot at fame and $20,000!
