getting sponsored by beer company: 5/5 points
having a logo which looks like laundry soap: 0/5 points.

well, but after some thinking... the logo is so awful that its almost good again.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

This is so awesome.

Anyways hite sponsors other sports too or something right?

Also its just beer.

If a team had like, pepsi as a sponsor, would it be good? Since pepsi is bad for your health, lots of sugar and caffeine XD


Btw, sparkyz is my fav. team from now on.

Sparkyz -_-

Now we're going to be hearing a bunch of beer jokes for whenever they lose games. Which if they're given beer as much as Woojin is given juice by their sponsors would be true.

Though the name change is just for advertising? Or will Hite be a second sponsor beyond the name change buy?

I'm willing to bet by age 19 a good 99.9% Koreans have probably drunk beer and even worse soju. Korea is such a huge drinking society that advertising beer wouldn't be looked down upon compared to America.


Since when is advertising beer looked down upon in America?


Well if you've followed the thread, you'll see that it's not about advertising beer per se, but advertising beer when most of the watchers are young/teenage boys.

Yeah, they spend millions advertising beer in the Super Bowl. Don't you remember the Budweiser commercial with the frogs?

According to last year's OSL statistics, an average of 0.496% of all men in their 20s watched it as compared to Professional Baseball (0.213%), K-League (Soccer, 0.153%) and Basketball (0.089%). Comparing the OSL to others, OSL had more audience than baseball by 230%; K-league by 320% and Basketball by 560%.


That's actually really interesting.

Ugh Lecaf and now Ogn. More team names I can't spell.

Another name change, wonder if any other teams are in sponsorship trouble?
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

SPARKYZ is still owned by OnGameNet. They only sold the naming rights. There is no reason to expect that they'll be able to play in future editions of the GOM Classic, unless their actual ownership changes.
