LOS ANGELES, CA: Team EG, one of the world’s best professional gaming teams and Canada’s undisputed champion, is proud to announce Bigfoot Networks’ Killer™ NIC as the team’s latest sponsor. Killer™ NIC comes in as Team EG’s Premier sponsor, and their support will have an immediate impact for Team EG, as the team competes this fall in such competitions as Digital Life 2006, the World Cyber Games Grand Finals 2006, and the World Cyber Games Pan-American Championships 2006.

Team EG is one of the world’s most reputable professional gaming teams; the team’s players,
competing in such games as Counter-Strike, Quake 4, and Halo 2, travel around the world participating in video game tournaments for large cash prizes. The team is recognized for its high level of performance not only in Canada, but internationally as well. Now, Team EG looks to further step up their game via the power of the revolutionary Killer Network Interface Card, the first NIC designed specifically for gamers.

“In gaming as a whole – and especially in competitive gaming – latency is arguably the most
significant factor in determining whether you have a competitive advantage or disadvantage,” said Alexander Garfield, Executive Director of Team EG. “Having the cutting-edge technology of the Killer™ NIC card on our side gives us that extra edge in a world where literally every millisecond of ping counts.”

“We’re thrilled to be supporting Team EG in both their LAN and online competitions,” remarked Bob Grim, Vice President of Marketing for Bigfoot Networks. “With consistent top finishes at such tournaments as the Cyberathlete Professional League and the World Cyber Games, EG obviously has an excellent competitive reputation. We’re very excited to see what they’ll be able to do with the added power of the Killer™ NIC.”

Team EG is now Canada’s four-time Canadian Champion. EG has won every major national Canadian tournament since its inception in 2003, amassing a stunning record of 59-2 along the way. EG is also internationally known and respected for its top international finishes, including a bronze medal at the World Cyber Games Grand Finals in 2005. With the added support of Killer™ NIC, the team will look to bring home the gold medal as they take on the world’s best this October at the World Cyber Games Grand Finals in Monza, Italy.
