ViewSonic Signs Infiltration to Sponsorship and Product Development Deal

ViewSonic, one of the largest computer display manufacturers in the world, has just announced that they have secured a sponsorship and product development deal with Seonwoo “Infiltration” Lee of Team Razer.

With this deal, ViewSonic will be providing Infiltration with gaming displays–particularly their VX line of monitors–for training purposes. In the press statement, Infiltration is quoted as saying “I’m so excited to co-work with ViewSonic as the gaming monitor sponsor… and it is fantastic to have gaming monitors designed for competitive console gaming to practice with from now.”

This deal appears, through the graphic presentation, to coincide with his sponsorship deal with Razer, as the monitor company only seems to providing him practice gear.

Colossal Changes Come to Mortal Kombat X in Today’s Balance Patch

In last night’s special Kombat Kast for Mortal Kombat X, the NetherRealm team showed off the sheer number of balance changes coming to MKX in today’s big patch. From serious nerfs to Alien and Demolition Sonya, to sizable buffs to Goro, Kenshi, Jason, and a couple more kombatants, these changes should shake up competitive play quite drastically, especially with the general engine changes.

Running and cancelling into a dash now costs more energy, and getting hit during a run now drains 50 energy. NetherRealm have also a “Kounter” message that appears on screen whenever you successfully land a counterattack or punish. You can read the raft of changes over on the official patch notes page and watch the Kombat Kast VOD on Twitch to see all of the changes in motion.
