I do not see why Kespa would pull a team out of BW and into SC2 when they worked so hard to create a new team after MBCgamehero, Wemadefox and Oz disbanded. If anything, that would really hurt the proleague. | ||

Team 8 has to fight their way back for them to even be considered being sponsored, and it sucks because they are human and going through change and being put in new environments you are unfamiliar with is not the easiest thing to do The problem is MUCH deeper than T8's performance that is limiting sponsors. yes, T8 is doing shit but any sane person knows that they have star power and more fan support than many of the current BW teams. Sponsors gain revenue via publicity with a team....T8 qualifies this goal a thousand times over. If I was a CEO, I would sponsor T8 in a heartbeat even over most of the other teams, even though T8 was risky and would under-perform. This is because T8 has great star power and potential to become the best AND they already have so much publicity due to their back story and of course..JAEDONG. HE ALONE would be enough reason to sponsor, but ALSO baby and sea?! Who the hell wouldn't sponsor that team? Well....no one is! But it is not because of their performance, rather....I fear the major issue lies within the fact that the scene is weakening. Sponsors know that a shift may occur so they do not want to invest in something that may not be here in a year! It takes time to make a new team and prepare all the logistics. Revenue for sponsors supporting a new team will NOT come in a short time. To make up for the initial investment and capital, the sponsors would need to stick with the team for many years. The fact that no one is sponsoring Jaedong and his boys...who obviously WOULD ROCK the scene after just one year of real team support, may sadly imply that even a year is too long for sponsors. they want everything NOW because they feel as if...i cant say it but you know. But I do agree with the fact that if T8 did "WTF amazing" then it could revitalize the whole scene. Obviously I understand that being last is not helping. | ||

They dont even look interested I would argue that they seemed more emotional than usual, especially jaedong. Even losing rarely phases him... | ||

I think their best bet is to get JD to start SC2 to practice and get ahead :S no way. maybe some other player but not JD. that would tarnish his bw legacy. JD will switch when everyone else switches. he CANNOT jump ship now when he is sinking. it will make him look bad. he isnt a quitter. | ||

Where Jaedong goes, so too shall Sea and Killer and Baby follow. With all of them performing in peak condition, even T1 would be, at the most, evenly matched with them, and at worst, be annihilated. | ||
