Day 3 of GESL is upon us, but yesterday we were lucky enough to snag an interview with the busy Gigabyte PR Manager, Irene Huang to talk to her about the GESL event in general, some expectations about the event, sponsors, games, prizes, and of course all the Z77 / GeForce GTX 680 awesomeness happening at the Gigabyte booth!
