"As a professional gaming team, we strongly demand superior and stable system performance to optimize the gaming results. The motherboard serves as the frame of the PC system; it plays an essential role in keeping the system's stability and enhancing the overall performance." said Dong-Hoon Kang, founder of the IM team. "It is a great opportunity for both of us. IM has already had a strong preference for ASRock powered systems; the alignment can further ensure that the performance levels of our training systems are on par with the PCs in worldwide gaming tournaments."
