I was just wondering, how to find sponsors and where to get them? What are the best companies to go to 1st and what kind of players do they sponsor, I am a friend of a player who was 4100 pre patch and is top 30 GM atm. What kind of companies would sponsor him, he is a very skilled and talented player who is deserving of sponsors. He has won many online cups!

Nobody would sponsor an individual player, look for teams that would take him

Like Pokebunny and Theclutch said--get a team. Your friend won't get sponsored individually unless he's Boxer

One of the only ways he'd be able to get a sponsorship as an individual player is to win or do extremely well in a large tournament (GSL, MLG, WCG)

Get picked up by a team.
To get picked up, have him win multiple tournaments online and try offline.
From there, try and get as much exposure as you can for teams to notice your friend.

and from there it pretty much writes for itself

Ok, so lets say he joins a team without sponsors (he might be doing this) how would he find sponsors from there?

Listen to the latest episode of Starcrack podcast. We interviewed SirScoots, Managing Director of Team EG. He gave a lot of advice on how to get sponsors etc.

I'm pretty sure this guys friend who is a top 30 GM league 4100 point masters player, who isn't even on a team, should never be put on the level of Boxer Grubby or White Ra -.-

What Zlasher said...you're dropping some pretty big names there which is why they have personal sponsors.

If you're not willing to mention his name, he clearly is an unknown player, and i'm sure no company will sponsor someone nobody knows because there's absolutely no revenue for them in him. The reason why WhiteRa/BoxeR/Grubby are personally sponsored is because, they're not just players, but they made a brand out of themselves, thus they are their own brands.

Example: David Beckham

Yes I do
but yes, pokebunny's advice is good - look for a team that will take him. That's the best method right now.

you're the one trying to start a team right? Any particular reason why?

If you are looking for team sponsors I would PM the leaders or FXO/VT/Complexity/ROOT/EG/NRG and whatnot, they are the ones to ask how its done... not just the TL public.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

The TL public is composed of those leaders as well.
I got the sponsor for VT for example (Nation Voice).
