I know RTZ got some money from winning MLG with Speed/C9 when filling in for Bone7 Yeah, but say it's just 2 games out of 15~ in the round robin portion. And then they go and make money from playoffs. Seems hard to gauge how much they should be paid. | ||

He was invited to play with Cloud 9’s Dota 2 team at a tournament held at South by Southwest Gaming Expo in Austin, Texas last month. With very little practice with the team, Cloud 9 and DeMoN fought their way into the Grand Finals against his former team Evil Geniuses. Haha I love how they referred to the tournament as "South by Southwest Gaming Expo" instead of using the official name of the tournament, "Monster Energy Invitational". | ||

Demon isnt joining TL. If anything, he is probably going to cause TL to disband and take players like bulba with him. ![[image loading]](http://i2.minus.com/jJLCBQ4liVosF.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.minus.com/jKtiMGu8OhZR4.png) | ||

Red Bull has been doing these single player sponsorship's already for awhile now, they did it with Bomber in SC2 and I'm pretty sure there were others as well. It's not out of the ordinary IMO. Grats to DeMoN, hopefully he can step his game up and find a good team and perhaps even stick with one for awhile, no? lol | ||

This thickens the plot considerably. I thought Liquid.Demon was a lock for sure (I think it's the best Liquid can hope for at this stage), but maybe he is hesitant to play support full time and looking for a better offer in the face of TI4 qualifiers. | ||

Idk this is really weird to me as well, sponsoring a single player but not a team in Dota? it's about exposure, paying one good player who is hired by every big team to stand-in means a lot of exposure. You cannot really form a team 2 months before TI, and expect it to do something. To be sure, RedBull throws so much money into advertising, it could easily outbuy most teams' primary sponsors, if that isnt Monster or something like that, so yeah, they re probably testing the water i guess | ||
