I live in the tiniest room in Seoul (I love it though.) However, I've managed to accumulate a massive collection of progaming merchandise in the year and change I've been involved. I've photographed most of it just to show how crazy I am/share. I recently aquired a few more items in the clothing department and I know a lot of people are curious about that facet of merchandising over here.
Basically teams run seasonal sales - there are a few who have online shops on their official sites (KTF Magicns for example.) Unfortunately most of these non-seasonal shops are only accessible by signing up to the site. This is in turn only possible if you have a Korean Citizen ID number. The only site currently supporting English and non-Korean sign ups is eSTRO. (Although I'm a member on several team sites now.)
You mainly have to wire transfer money for buying clothing/other merchandise items which is easily done using a Korean bank account at any ATM. (My boss bought me a CJ Entus team diary this way last year for cleaning up the staff room.)
The only team with a physical shop is MBC Heroes. They sold t-shirts, phone charms (I have all designs of accessories lying around.) keychains and metal badges. It's been closed for a while though - possibly due to staffing problems.
The only other way to pick up merchandise like banners/posters/bandanas/photo books etc is to go to finals where they're usually given out and it's easy to snag some of the extras lying around. I got all my photo books from fan girls at finals (KTF/Hwaseung.) Aside from one given to me by Hwasin at an STX Soul fan meeting.
If anyone has any more questions then feel free to ask.
[EDIT]
And yes that is a five foot poster of ForGG gotten from the Arena MSL Finals venue (one of a kind XD.) My friend got the Jaedong one totally seperately to me - creepy coincidence....
The rail above my bed.
Exclusive Hwaseung t-shirt given out at the last play off for WL.
The latest addition - a T1 shirt. Thanks to lilsusie for helping me buy it.It came with a photo of the team and a sticker which players wear when they win a match.
eSTRO Counter Strike team uniform (plus 2 pairs of matching trousers.)
Old School eSTRO Uniform plus trousers.
eSTRO Counterstrike t-shirt.
WCG Korean team jackets.
MBC Heroes baseball caps.
OGN/HITE Sparkyz towel from the PL Finals 2008/Hwaseung banner from WL Finals 2009.
ForGG fan club bandana from Arena MSL Finals/Samsung Khan bandana from PL Finals 2008.
JangBi bandana from Club Day MSL Finals/CJ Entus bandana from WL Finals 2009.
Finally - this is pretty cute. SKT1 fail at spelling;

Nice collection ! 
I'm asking Santa for a T1 shirt or hole uniform for 3rd year in a row, but maybe I was not a good boy or smth
|
someone let me into this wardrobe, just for a few mins 
|
Nice photos!
Hopefully someone can teach me how to get more victroys in Starcraft :[
|
This just makes me want my wemade fox shirt even more now.
oh lol, it says "victroy" instead of victory, pretty fail indeed.
|
I wish I could have any of those xD

No, it's probably just because you can't spell either.

I'm not really into the foreign scene at all so for me it's totally the other way round. (Oh and you don't own them so it doesn't really matter if you don't like them. I'm not posting them for approval, just to show the different things I've collected and explain about clothing sales for progaming teams in SK.)

Wow, awesome collection. I'd be so happy if I can even get eStro's uniform...
Victroy ftw.
|
That really is awesome. It's really a shame that it's unavailable to fans...I would love a cj or stx jacket.

Couldn't you make some sort of friend that has an ID and pay them to buy that stuff for you?
I got all my photo books from fan girls at finals
Pics of photo books?

Those Estro uniforms are sooooo nice. If I had money or anything of value I'd try to buy them off you~
|
that samsung bandana looks very nice
|
I'm surprised there aren't more advertisements on them. Starcraft should be more like Nascar xD
I guess the 'victroy' makes up for the revenue loss in that it provides motivational support.

Check the KTF website - it's not too hard to navigate.
@scwizard: - yeah that's what a lot of people who miss the TL.net sales/want other items do. Some items aren't available for sale though including the fan made ones and fanclub exclusives only used for specific finals/events. I hope to scan the photo books at a later date - right now it's not possible aside from camera photos and they just aren't as good as scans.
@Ozarugold: Try being the operative word. None of my progaming stuff gets sold. Any extras tend to be given to friends.

www.XE.com is pretty good for converting won to dollars - I think of everything in terms of won these days and not GBP -_-; I think the shirts were probably seasonal items then - they might do another sale later on so I'll keep you informed.

I got mine directly from Bunkie, but they are currently selling them at the T1 site. As I said in the OP you will need to be in Korea to buy them though (as far as I'm aware.) so you'll have to ask a Korean friend/friend with access to a Korean bank account to do it for you.

It's a reference to MBC Game Heroes name. Kind of doesn't make sense, but I like it anyway. Ruby owns the same baseball cap, but the MBC coach was surprised to see me at the OSL prelims wearing one they'd not even been given as freebies yet. He asked where I bought it and I had to sheepishly admit it was from their very own shop in the same building the team lives (lol.)

amazing collection
i'm feeling so envious over here T__T

Haha, insane collection. good!
