Congratz Nony! Seems like more and more players get solo sponsorship. I hope the trend doesn't go too far though, because I feel like it's better for e-sports sponsoring teams, if you had to choose one or the other.
Great news though, I hope he goes on to win the TSL just to prove himself, as I think he's looking to get some really smashing results in SC2.

Congrats to Tyler, Stride is an awesome MLG sponsor for a long time now and this deal should be really good for him :-)

Sponsored by? He should do commercials for them. "It's time to chill and chew bubblegum, and I've got plenty of gum right here."

Actually I think it is a great concept starting personal sponsoring at such events. This way the sponsors have players hanging out at their booth which will attract more visitors from the MLG-event.

I also think that Old Spice if they still sponsor the event should pick up TLAF-Liquid-Huk since he loves to shower and this even more than once a day. At least that's what he stated in several interviews last year.

I don't understand the financial incentive for companies to sponsor things like this, so I'll just assume the sponsorship is a tiny amount and go with it. It's a catch-22 really; esports won't get big until major sponsors outside of gaming step up, but they won't really step up until esports gets big.

Congrats Tyler! You're my favorite Protoss, I'll be rooting for you all the way with a stick of Stride Gum in my mouth!

Also, what's with all the Halo sponsorships? Don't they know SC2 is WAY better than that imbalanced piece of junk game?

Ima assume that's a joke, but unfortunately it doesn't really work, because there are (or were, I guess they've been sold out for while) T-Squared branded bottles of Dr. Pepper. So Tyler-packaged Stride gum could be right around the corner. In fact, if I didn't have prior knowledge of the Pepsi bottles, I'd say that the custom gum packaging was more realistic. :O
