I think the STX sponsorship won't continue... I've known what STX is for a while now, and it's not a company that can benefit from the progaming scene. Teens/Young adults won't buy ships/construction materials for any reason... Let's see KTF/SKT/Pantech/Samsung, their target consumers is right there, always looking for some good electronics to use with everyday life. Then there's CJ/OGN/MBC focusing on Korean air media

KDS/LG/NHN Corporation/and even Shinhan (I heard they were interested at offering salaries for Xellos and Coach Cho when G.O. team was unsponsored) will be better sponsors as they are pretty similar companies to Samsung/the cellphone making companies.

i only know estrogen is a kind of hormon but couldn't think of it out of "Estro".
as a non-english speaker, i myself couldn''t get the feeling at first that it could be used
in a somehow derogatory way. or are you saying it means such a men just literally?

True, this was also a matter of debate in the Korean fan community.

I think the idea is, STX isn't in it for the advertising of any product. Rather, it's a corporate image move. The company wants exposure to young people, to enforce the idea that they are an open company. I don't know how company image can be evaluated in hard cash, but then again, if I did, I would be swimming in money (which I'm most certainly not).

Come on, progaming already has Miss Rainbow and a Flower Toss. They'll survive, especially since non-fluent English speakers wouldn't think of the connection.

You know i don't believe anyone of the sponsores out there are acutally getting benifit outta progaming, maybe there are some who is but ssoponsor progamings is defintly not the part where they hang themselves on. Take at look at the already-well-known brand samsung ect.. u think they care about puting money in progaming? i think they are trying sorta consolidating their homeowned bunsiness. They do whatever is hot at the time, so progaming is hawt right now so they dont wanan get behind.

I don't think that "masculine" has to be defined in a certain (ahem, western) way. I in fact perfer the way fashionable Koreans youths dress - to a point (death to man-purses!). I know Savior's earrings are a running joke here, but masculine doesn't always mean Arnold Swartzeneggar and John Belushi.
