Along with the announcement KODE5 release version two of their homepage, check it out here. Last years event had sponsors such as, AMD, Foxconn, Razer and Corsair. Only Corsair stayed as sponsor, and the three others decided to leave. But Kode5 has brought in another two new sponsors. The two head sponsors are Gigabyte and Coolermaster.
