No more Gatorade or banana milk for them.

They'll be forced to drink Hite to advertise Hite during games.

How about in MBC channel or Avertec Starleague. Would be good if they still had their name there. Anyway I hope a new team emerges. Not only these sponsor changes.

Now OGN is stuck with saying MBCGame Heroes during their games on OGN, while MBCGame won't even have to say 'On'.

what are you on about

ogn still own the team, it's just that the team will be known as something like OGN Hite Sparkyz and not just OGN Sparkyz

it's common for korean sports teams to sell their rights to the team name, like lotte giants etc.

New sponsorships = a good sign for progaming's financial situation!

Congrats to OGN, Hite, and the SPARKYZ.

Yeah but MBC will probably take this opportunity to not mention OGN anymore on their channel lol, simply calling them 'Hite Sparkyz'.

Yes OGN still owns the team but i think they pointed the "free" advertising of having your team and his name (OGN) showing up in the other channel. However, in this case i cant see this matters too much since both channels have pretty much the same audience.

On the Logo it doesnt say OGH HIte Sparkyz, it just says Hite Sparkyz. I think it just says OGN sold the entire team to Hite beer. Or am I wrong? Thanks

no, it says that they just sold the name. OnGameNet Sparkyz is called Hite Sparkyz now, that's the only difference.


to the Hwaseung - Lecaf thing:
i think Hwaseung was the sponsor of Lecaf the whole time, but they just later decided to change the name to Hwaseung Oz because they wanted their name to be advertised better.

Hwaseung was the parent company (or something like that) of Lecaf, that's why that decided to upgrade their tier.

Ok. So basically OGN still owns Sparkyz but just uses Hite as the team name for the moment. As for advertisement purposes. So in the future Hite Sparkyz might become OGN Sparkyz, that is if Hite withdraws support.
