I mean, all it takes is a twitter and reddit and account. The investment level is LOW, while the clicks are likely very high. "We were hoping to have our new team sponsorship signed and sealed to announce today, but we're still waiting on a few signatures. That being said, here's a sneak peek at what the team logo and jersey will look like! http://i.imgur.com/Ct1B0f7.jpg " So unless they're liars, it's real. | ||

I mean, I am sure they would love to sponsor a dota team, but I don't think a team like EG would would go near an event with them in it. That's the problem, its not that they won't sign some kind of non-sense team, its that other established teams won't compete agaisnt them. Liquid, EG, Alliance, all have NA sponsors that have shit in the contracts that say "you shall not associate us with porn". | ||

You're not associating by playing against someone in a tour, and if you win, even better. Almost post 420 and still too early to get high. gotta stop posting, Hope for good game tinkerino | ||

It's bullshit even if it does exist porn is legal even if it's not morally alright with a generation that probably doesn't watch this shit anyway. People need to stop projecting their dumbass values onto things | ||

People need to stop projecting their dumbass values onto things It was brought up by Ayesee on the Dota Today podcast that the majority of the sponsors have clauses like that in their contracts. It was in response to the original Youporn tweet about a team. It was also brought up when Brazzers throught they were going to sponsor a player in the FGC and Evo and the rest of the events said "for the love of god, please don't". When pornography comes into the scene it shuts out a lot of money from other sponsors that don't want to be associated with it. Its the nature of business. On August 22 2014 04:26 Unleashing wrote: Well porn is a legit business. And unless tournaments/events start refusing to let teams with a porn sponsorship compete then there's not a lot stopping them from doing this. That very well could happen. Especially if they are sponsored by anything like Intel or any NA company. | ||
