One Million Strong

August 17, 2019

Quarter finals against Beşiktaş at TCL, we've overcome from 1-2 deficit and won the series 3-2, my first year of pro-scene coaching and it's a moment that i'll never forget, the chants and crowd were unbelievable.

Gratz on reaching 1 million.

I knew i was a gamer when i was around 20... I was an apprentice and lived alone in a very small 1 room roof appartment/oven
My computer at the time sucked big time and could only run cs 1.6 at 30fps so i did the logical thing and stopped spending money... So a couple of 10lbs bags of rice was my only food for 3 months... But i ended up getting a new (used) computer that could run the new games and i was able to game with my friends
I think i was halfway through the first bag/sack of rice when i realised that 1. I was a moron for doing this and 2. If this didnt prove i was addicted to gaming nothing else would

It was the best feeling ever finally getting that computer booted up

I was playing Minecraft on PS3 with some school friends, playing survival working together to make an amazing town, we moved to PS4 to play minecraft, we slowly drifted away but my love for minecraft didn't, so when I finally got a gaming PC I bought a minecraft account among many other steam games, my passion for gaming is growing stronger by the day. I may not play with these friends anymore but those times will never be forgotten!

For me, it was the moment I first turned on my laptop. I had been using low-tier laptops and was never able to run any games that I wanted to. But after I got married, I decided to upgrade to my dream laptop and was stunned at the difference. Worthy of 1 million fans for sure. Congrats on the achievement and helping people like myself to achieving their dreams!

My first experience with Razer was my Razer tarturus I bought to play wow cuz I needed something that more comfortably fit my big hand and hit all those abilities back in MoP. Shortly after I bought my naga 2014 edition and have been in love with Razer products. Everything from ergonomics to astetics. Just recently bought my Razer phone 2 and so far I loved everything about it and also got my hands on a Razer blade 2016 15 inch. This thing surprises me everyday on how well it preforms. I've tried corsair, Logitech, etc. Nothing has campared in my eyes and the fact that it took this long to get 1 million fans really surprises me. I've been a gamer since I was 5 years old when I got my first Gameboy color and Pokemon red and I've been hooked ever since. I would have never thought gaming would have taken off the way it day and I'm grateful to be a part of a community like this. We yell at each other and fight over the mic but at the end of the day we're all gamers and the reason to get so angry is because we are so passionate. Still to this day some gaming trailers give me hype tears lol But great job Razer and congrats on one million. Heres to 10 million more.

I am a huge fan of RAZER

My best gaming moment was probably fresh out of military tech school, and a new friend invited me over to play games with a bunch of his friends. Well later on that night they wanted to 4v1 me in halo 2 for a bet. Well, I went something like 25 to 3. It felt good and got 80 bucks in the process, and he broke his controller. Go me.

Recently joined my gamer husband and son... Still new to the game world... But they help me get around... So now we are a gaming family. So proud recently got this awesome outcome in a online battle in World Of Tanks. It may not seem like much for all the professional gamers out there... But I think I did pretty good... Fingers crossed.

When I played for 26hours and reached my goal

Razer gamers deserve better gaming life!

Early to mid 1980's. After spending all afternoon(after school) at a local arcade, I would go home and wonder what the next levels had in store, in games like Pleiads, 1942, Time Pilot, etc...

Well, I'd say my biggest moment with friends involved would have to be back in 2013 in World of Warcraft. I was a Blood Death Knight, the standing main tank for the guild Morning Mahogany. It kind of just started out as a bunch of friends and my older brother goofing off, but when Mists of Pandaria was announced, our Guild Master decided he wanted in on the hardcore raiding scene - and the rest of us agreed.

Fastforward a few months after launch, and out 10-man raid team is steamrolling through the raids. We cleared Mogu'Shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, and the Terrace of Endless Spring with ease, but when we went to Heroic Mode (which I had never done before), we had to switch gears and take things seriously.

The Guild Master would bark orders at us like a drill sergeant belittles a new private who tied his boots wrong. I eventually changed my attitude from "He's making fun of me" to "He wants to see me do better, and it's constructive (albeit also rude but humorous) criticism."

Mogu'Shan Vaults on 10-man Heroic wasn't too bad. Feng the Accursed was a big pain in the butt, but we figured out some funky ways to stop the adds from reaching him by swapping one of my tanking talents to Gorefiend's Grasp (target a creature (enemy or ally) and cast: all enemies within 30 yards are pulled to that creature). The Four Emporers was basically just a DPS check with a little "Don't stand there" in the mix, and Elegon was another painful experience that gave way to some interesting strategies. Once we got the Twin Emporers' swing mechanics down (our off-tank was actually the one who kept messing that one up), we had it on farm. Easy peasy.

Heart of Feat Heroic... that's something I will never forget.

It was even the entire raid that was hard, just the second boss. Bladelord Tayak.

See, he had some interesting mechanics that combined to make one big pain-in-the-ass fight. You had a tank-swap mechanic (guess who was bad at that one (hint: not me)), you had tornadoes flying around the room in random paths so the entire raid had to stay on their toes, and when he got to 20% HP, he'd fling the entire raid to one end of this suoer-long room, and he'd fly to the other. He'd then generate a wind current at the sides of this narrow tunnel that would push people back to that side. Guess what else Tayak did? He'd send waves of tornadoes flying down that narrow path (there were 3 tracks on the path they could be on - it was random) and if you git hit by ome, it would deal roughly 80% of your HP in damage to you, carry you about 50 ft back, and drop you back off way the hell waya from Tayak. If one person messed that mechanic up, it was a wipe. We wouldn't have enough DPS up there to get him down fast enough, and we still had to tank-swap for it so if a tank got scooped, GG, wipe and retry. Healer got scooped? Wipe it up, try again.

Oh, and you know how that last mechanic starts at 20%? He does it at 10% too. In the opposite direction.

So you run all the way down this hall, git him from 20 to 10% HP, and he just jumps to the other friggin' side.

We spent maybe 3 weeks of raiding (only 3 nights a week at 4 hours each night) on this one stupid boss. We were all sick of him. We mocked his voice lines, we wasted tons of guild resources trying to kill him, and we started making sloppy mistakes more often.

One night, we had spent an entire 4 hours trying to kill him. It was the last scheduled raid day before the weekly reset, we had one last good attempt (we got him to 3%!), and our guildmaster declared that we were adjourning for the night. I piped up and said "Hang on, that last attempt was really good. Can we try one more time?"

Everyone groaned, but he agreed with me. The guild chef put down a feast, we all flasked up, and made preparations for one more attempt.

It was terrible. Everyone was tired, people weren't paying attention at first, and immediately someone died and used up the only battle-rez for the fight. However, after the first 2 minutes of people really struggling, everyone got it together and were really pushing the DPS meters. Our warlock peaked at roughly 1.5 mil (this was Mists so that wasn't unheard of, but still quite a lot), and we got him to 20%. We ran down the path, no cyclone casualties, and broke him down to 10%. We ran down the path. No cyclone casualties.

We got Tayak to 1%, and the 10-minute timer went off - he enraged, and people started dropping like flies.

The Guildmaster queued up Teamspeak; "Well, it was a good attempt guys."

At this point, I was tired. I was frustrated. I'll be real with you, I was pretty mad. I had been grinding my teeth against this boss for almost a month, mistakes the off-tank made were being blamed on me, and I'd had enough of Tayak's stupid face. I don't even remember what I said, but it was to the effect of "I'm not done with this yet!"

I popped every single one of my cooldowns. I drank a potion to grant myself extra armor, and I hit that son of a bitch with all the might and fury of the Blood DK. Army of the Dead, Dancing Rune Weapon, you name it - it was all out there in that instant.

This is also where my choice to take Purgatory as a talent comes into play. While you have that talent, if you take lethal damage, you stay alive for an extra 3 seconds before you finally die. Now, you can either heal that damage somehow and be brought back (saved us some combat rezzes on multiple occasions), or if you don't heal that damage, you just drop dead at the end of 3 seconds. However, it doesn't matter if that's 1 damage or 1,000,000,000 damage beyond your HP - it's 3 extra seconds.

I hit Tayak with every strong ability I had, blew through all my runes, used Empowered Rune Weapon to regenerate them, then blew through them again. I unloaded everything on him, and he hit me with a killing blow when he had about 150,000 HP left. I hit him two more times while in Purgatory, and managed to kill him about a half-second before I died.

I can't begin to describe the cheering and nerd-gasm that followed. Being that I was the youngest player on the team, I was given a lot of flack - I was basically the guild punching-bag up to that point. That day was the day I won their respect, and the day I killed Bladelord Tayak because I'm so damn stubborn.

Sadly I'm no longer in a raiding guild, and I haven't played World of Warcraft in almost 6 months (BADdle for Azeroth, amirite?), but that was probably one of my proudest moments in gaming. I felt like a badass, everyone cheered me on as the main tank (my spot was almost given to the off-tank) and we took down the next two bosses that same night.

I've been playing since I remember... Those consoles with games on yellow cartridges, Atari 65, phones and of course the best of all: PC. But I didn't know I was gamer till very late. I finally realised it when another one of my trashy mice broke and I decided to buy something better, with DPI buttons so useful for switching into sniper mode, something designed for playing games, not only moving cursor on the screen... just a gaming mouse. Then it started. ^^ Now I know.
