"All political controversy aside, bearing the Olympic torch during its long route
to the Games is an incredible honor, and this year two
professional gamers will take part in the international relay. Through a
sponsorship deal with peripheral manufacturer Razer, XiaoFeng "Sky" Li and Jae
ho "Moon" Jang will both bear the torch as it passes through China en route to
the Beijing National Stadium.

Both Sky and Moon are professional
Warcraft III players, with the former being recognized as the world's
best Human-class player, and the latter as the one of the world's best Night
Elf-class players. Both were chosen by Razer from a group of ten professional
gamers, selected by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games. Congrats go
out to both."
