The Cologne branch of well-known electronics dealers, Saturn, has been taken over by esports equipment with a little help from ESL.Saturn is one of the best-known sellers of electronic goods in Germany. But now their Cologne store has become a mecca for competitive gamers, as they have announced a new partnership with ESL. Saturn will stock ESL branded gaming gear such as mousemats and headsets at a special stand in the shop.
On top of that, SK-Gaming can exclusively reveal that ESL TV will be broadcast in the store on specially placed plasma TV's. One of the company's best-loved presenters, Matt 'Zalmah' Rider told SK-Gaming that "they have a plasma showing highlights videos from ESL TV."
In similar news, Rider also revealed that further information about a regular World of Warcraft show will be announced very soon. "We will tell you more later in the week," he said, alluding to a replacement for the recently cancelled WoW Wednesday's.

Hope it won't be reserved to Germany, like always. Nice pic Matt btw :)
Saturn's support is the worst one u can get in Germany.
I bought a laptop psu, cable broke, took it back, got a replacement, no questions asked, was not even checked
Broke again, took it back, got a new one, again no questions asked
Broke again, took it back, got a full refund, no questions asked
Would be incredibly luck to even get a replacement once in the UK
Hence why their motto is "Geiz ist Geil" (Cheap is Cool)... they sell you stuff cheaper, but therefore cut cost on technical support and workforce.
Thats what I meant in my comment. :)
The companies that aren't as cheap but have some technical support for their customers serve a different segment of the market after all.
It also is frustrating not to be able to ask the sailsman what RAM type does this or that PC/MAC support, cuz u know the answer is as stated above :)
Not everyone is in bying cheap products with 0 support options.
