Linda Liao joins Team Razer

It is rare to find a top Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty tournament player who juggles the professional life of being a singer, an actress, and an MTV Mandarin VJ in Taiwan. Linda Liao is such a person, as she plays Starcraft II competitively, and in early 2010, she won the Electronic Sports League Starcraft II female championship using the Protoss race.

And so, at last week's Taipei Game Show 2011, Razer announced it had recruited the artiste into its professional gaming team. This was a follow-up to Razer's collaboration with Taiwan top gaming team Wayi Spider last year. Liao will be working alongside Korea's SlayerS_BoxeR and Germany's Mousesports team under the same banner.

Her other professional achievements in the field include clocking up more than 800 ladder matches and having an actions-per-minute average of 220.
