I don't think I own a single item that's made by Samsung. >.< My refrigerator and a number of cellphones I have are made by Samsung. Also, Pringles sponsored an MSL(2?), and Coca Cola an OSL. | ||

The only part that Blizz doesn't completely match is "The next MSL sponsor will be sponsoring for the first time in the history of eSports", because of GomTV, but whoever made this statement may just not have counted that. | ||

A BP spokesman admitted "not actually" being familiar with the game, but the company wants its brand associated with the e-sport these days because "we heard these players are really good at keeping minerals down". + Show Spoiler + Yes, oil itself is not a mineral, but I couldn't resist the temptation to make the worst joke ever. | ||

It is probably a slight mistranslation saying the sponsor is different from anything in e-Sports. We should go off the title that the company is different from anyone who has sponsored Starleague specifically, which opens a lot of possibilities. Otherwise the only industries that are untouched I can think of would be a power or oil company, or a restaurant chain. Have any consumer goods manufacturers sponsored eSports before like Unilever or P&G? Maybe a car manufacturer. It could be Microsoft (games for windows) although that is still a software development company like Blizzard. I think clothing companies are untouched as well. The Airforce is a possibility but on that talk show which was recently translated the commentators seemed to be of the opinion the Airforce would want to distance itself a bit from eSports given the recent scandal. I think Razer could go in the category of Samsung which makes both mice and keyboards. lol @ okum I laughed | ||

I know AMD sponsored a team in the early 2000s but I don't think they sponsored a league. or maybe ASUS since they are koreans | ||

So MMORPG is out of the window lolz 3. An industry very close to e-sport fans LOL "Illegal Betting Sites MSL". This satisfies all of your clues and suits the current situation. | ||
