Nestea is owned by Nestle, as in Nestle chocolate milk, but Nestle distributes Nestea in the US under a partership between Nestle and the Coca-Cola company called Beverage Partners Worldwide. I'm surprised IM didn't have any sponsors considering the fact that it has two GSL champions, and now possibly a two time GSL champion. | ||

Coke cans always all over tastosis' casting booth As far as I'm aware they (Coca-Cola and Pepsi before them) were just using the GSL platform as a product sponsor as opposed to a financial sponsor. That is, mentions on the air in trade for free drinks (in contrast to financial backing as a main sponsor would). Maybe they moved on with their idea. Back in BW Coke sponsored the OSL waaaaaaayyy back in 2001, maybe they see this as another big opportunity... | ||

It says a GSL event is sponsored by IM team sponsor <korean company> and Coca-Cola but doesn't necessarily say Coca-Cola is sponsoring IM. It would certainly seem reasonable for Coca-Cola to be sponsoring a GSL event, which is another way that can be interpreted. http://www.imteam.co.kr/ Coca-Cola banner at the bottom of their team site, seems like team sponsorship. | ||

I think as foreign teams prove their worth, the sponsors will come naturally. Hence why MouseSports and EG have such great sponsors. Proven teams with proven players.

Anyway, there are also those personal sponsorships at MLG, don't know about Stride Gum but Sony Ericsson is quite the company For the moment I'm more excited about companies like Coca Cola investing in e-sports than Intel for example, because it's a rather new thing, Intel is all over the place already. | ||

But anyway, very good news, after a week of teams closing etc. The coach was saying they didnt have too much money/sponsors, so hope this helps them. And it's kinda cool that it isnt a computer/game related sponsor,shows that the game has a possible reach outside of the core gamer community. | ||

Yes they did - but a lot of people need to realize that just because a company "sponsors" a team, doesn't mean they get tons of money and all of their products for free.... I'm not going to pretend I know what IM gets or doesn't get. Nor did I know what we got at wNv back in 2006/7 when Coca Cola sponsored us (I worked in the foreign section as a journalist - working on the English portal for the team). Also - food for thought, Pepsi also sponsored World Elite for about a year - last year until they were replaced by GIGABYTE as the main sponsor. Anyways, congratulations to IM - glad to see them get support, I hope everything works out for the best : ) | ||

For Coca-Cola it is 2001 Coca-Cola OSL. For Pepsi its KPGA Tour in 2002. Great news still, main stream product sponsor is very sweet for SC2 at this stage, hope other team can get their big sponsor in the near future as well. | ||
