Always thought Samsung Khan was awesome because I actually recognized their products, unlike most of the other KeSPA teams. They carry CJ foods at target (at least in california). Altho the microwave noodles are kinda shitty unfortunately  good rice doe | ||

1. He is leaving MVP but its not like the sc2 guys and coaches are screwed over. He made sure that everything runs smoothly after he leaves and MVP Sc2 and dota 2 team will be better off without him but he cannot say why (but said it would be revealed at a later date) 2. Cannot disclose how much MVP LoL teams were sold because of NDA. 3. A user on PlayXP asked a very interesting question Q: Is it likely for MVP Sc2 team to join Kespa? Now that they have left, I don't think MVP is staying independent or going back to Esf. A: You'll know soon enough by the team name once the sponsorship league (*dunno what this means :0) starts. | ||

I'm not sure if this correlated, it might be: MVP Ozone (now Samsung) recently had a showmatch in Taiwan against some Taiwanese allstar team, and they had changed their tags from "MVP Ozone" to "Hot6MVP". This was about a week ago, so maybe it was a hint towards a new name / Hot6 name sponsorship? Sounds pretty KeSPA-esque in my opinion. Pure speculation, of course, the only hint was said showmatch by MVP Ozone. | ||

I just hope it doesn't end the same way as the slayers story. Hopefully he used a chunk of that change he got to pay for the team house/food for a decent amount of time. With the exception that BoxeR moved from one thing he created into basically the other thing he created. Samsung Galaxy Ozone will still need some time to roll of the tongue, I suppose... But I can't wait to see them play again, need dat Dandy-fix soon! :D | ||

I'm impressed with its growth, but call me cynical, I am used to seeing a competitive gaming scene struggle to develop and establish itself prior to exploding (ala BW, CS, FIghting scene, etc.) It always seemed to me LoL never had a struggle and just coasts. Am I way off and just missed the hard years? 2009-2011 had about one major tournament and a bunch of small online ones, but no real observer client made things hard. Running an event and getting money was as hard in the early days as it was with any other game (bar SC2, which I feel fits your description much better). There were a lot of problems early on at events and everything like that. Riot started advertising tournaments around Season 1 in 2011 which is when it picked up a lot. From there the game has grown with the audience. Increased money and tournaments etc has been pretty much parallel with the increase in interest and audience. The third party interests have seemed small in EU/NA during Season 3 because Riot have picked up so much of the tab. I'm certain that companies have expressed interest in sponsoring LoL things during this time but we haven't seen any of it. In Korea it's normal OSL/MSL style with The Champions being sponsored by Olympus and Hot6ix etc. It would be nice to see the LCS sponsored a little externally. | ||

Don't forget about about the American Express or Pacific Rim sponsorship though! AmEx is doing big things with LCS right now and they're now looking to acquire additional sponsors of that caliber. Now LCS and also Worlds is sponsored by American Express and you can get LoL credit cards or something. It's getting more similar to Korea over time. Of course it still pales in comparison to the huge big coroporate sponsor list of OGN Champions, but it's slowly but surely getting there. | ||

into darkness Seems the new trend is to win a major team league and still have major sponsor issues. (I don't follow LoL so can't really comment on that part of the acquisition) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/roL6lzM.jpg) Homme: As it turned out we joined a very prestige and major team in our country so I feel very happy. In return for the sponsorship we will try even harder. Before we got signed by Samsung we already showed you our best performance but now we want to be even better. I can’t talk in more detail about the contract but I really think it is the best in the Korean LoL scene. Mata: Honestly there was no big changes so I don’t feel much different. In reality I know changes will come. The uniforms are very pretty and I really like them (laughs). Other than that I have no idea. I will return this good opportunity with a steady increasing performance. Dandy: I will train hard because we met such a good sponsor. I am really happy. Uniforms are very pretty. To not shame the Samsung name I will train hard. Imp: There are no words to describe how good I feel. From now on I will focus on my form and behavior, I will show a grateful performance to the fans. We will show a strong performance to thank the people who believe in us and our sponsor. Dade: That we receive a lot of support from Samsung and were able to join them makes me very happy. I can conviently concentrate on the game in the Samsung environment I like it alot. I am happy to work together with a rich sponsor and I think with better results more money therefore I will try harder. Source: Inven The last sentence of Dade is probably wrong because I dont know exactly what 빵빵하다 means | ||
