Now here's a question: what can the leagues really do to stop it? Teams might not accept Brazzers (or other porn sites) as a sponsor, but what's to stop an independent player from wearing a T-shirt with their logo on it?

I know MLG* can have you change your 'attire', but is that to MLG's benefit? My understanding of that rule is so you can't walk into the booth in a giant penis costume, or a 'screw MLG' shirt or something. If they choose to reject players based on who pays for their plane tickets, they could get into a mess.

To bring up something from recent E-Sports history: I'm sure most of us have seen/heard about Scarlett's impressive IPL run. She got there through a 'sponsor me' tournament, and was talked to by at least one team manager we know of. What if there's more Scarletts out there? Would they take a Brazzer's sponsorship to have a shot at the top? If a league were to put the kibosh on sponsorships like that, they could be squashing independent talent.

*MLG selected as an example because I know they have such a rule. Please consider all leagues hypothetically in this discussion.

Tournaments could just not let you in... it is pretty simple really.


They would suffer for doing that though. We JUST saw that independent players can have talent worth taking note of with Scarlett: should they potentially shut down talent like that because of a logo on A player's shirt?

If they run the risk of losing their own tournament sponsors... uhhh yes.

I honestly dont get how this is such a problem.
I mean we have many tournaments being sponsored by gambling sites. And afaik gambling is partly even banned in the US. For sure it is much more problematic than porn.

And it is not like any sponsored players would run around with porn images on their shirts. They would just have a plain logo somewhere.

Btw when browsing TL I often get ads for Asian hookers. How is that so much better?

Only an issue if the game is not rated M. If it isn't, then you shouldn't have it sponsoring the specific gaming community. SCII isn't M, so it shouldn't. Simple as that.

TL has excellent recommendations if I ever wanted to meet a nice Filipino girl in Dubai.

Don't really understand people's negative attitude to this especially when much bigger deals happen (West ham taken over by porn magnates) and it really doesn't factor in, a sponsor is a sponsor and one can hardly question the relevance of their product with regard to the gaming community.

There are alot of people <18 watching SC2 events/streams. Something would need to be done against this for any tournament to keep legally streaming.


Well there's plenty of advertising of beer and stuff on tv, at any time of the day.


So please direct us to the porn commercials on TV. Also I've yet to see any beer commercials while watching a stream or tournament.
