Since my last poll was not well made, I thought I would try something else.

I personally feel that GOM TV gained the most as a company from hosting a StarLeague. Their product is very closely linked to the lifestyle of the fans, and the player itself is outstanding for online broadcasting. I feel they probably gained a large number of viewers from sponsoring the league.

Why do you people think shinhan bank gained the most? By logic I do agree with Mani, but I really can`t say. We can only guess. Posters from Korea know this matter better and will give better input.

I have no idea how someone outside of Korea can gauge sponsorship returns. ;x
If I had to guess, I would say Shinhan Bank because they had the most continous exposure.

I eat pringles religiously due to the Pringles OSL.

Therefore, they gained the most.

gomplayer is now my default media player (it had some pop up in korean and i clicked one of the buttons to make it go away. apparently it was asking me if i wanted it to be the default program for all media files)

its a pretty good media player though. it doesnt have a shit interface like vlc player and plays virtually everything.

I read bad the question in the first place and I voted Shinhan.

But Pringles were the one that made much more money, they were almost unexposed and hosting a SL is kind of a big deal .

GOM TV imo.
Their stream feature is very popular and also, SC has become a big attraction of the Gom Player Stream feature. Pringles might release some hydralisk flavored potato chips sometime, but Gom Player and SC have become interlinked in Gom TV streams.

And to this day, I dunno what Shinhan woulda gained by sponsorring these guys... Loans, Accounts, Interest and Savings..... and Starcraft?

That amazing Reach vs Silent_Control semi-finals, game 5 - that moment where Reach zealotbombed and took out about 14 vultures and five tanks - that's the moment I decided to start shaving with Gillette.

GOM TV, because the nature of their product lends itself well to erm advertisement in this particular area

The question is a bit ambigous IMO, without reading Mani's post it sounds like a purely knowledge/quiz question.

I have no idea really >_>

But I guess GOM TV, simply because it's obviously a product that starcraft fans will be interested in.

luhh? or i didn't get it or you got the wrong thread


you missed the option "i have no idea" but yes, i agree that gom seems to be the most logical. Still, advertising is a weird science and being GOM the most related to it doesn't necessarily imply that their are the ones that made the best business with SC.

I would think Pringles or Shinhan Bank. Chips, or a business without a tangible product.

sponsorship is about money put in vs money earned, and the ratio is usually similar all around the board

GOM might have done well but there isnt going to be another huge boost in their revenue if the next MSL isnt sponsored by them

Shinhan put the most money into starleague by far, and I guarantee the money they made from it eclipses whatever other companies have made.

I voted GOMTV because I never used it before this but based on these comments, I'd have to agree Pringles won. It seems like everyone's eating more pringles after watching starleagues.

the reason they sponsored all the OSL in 2006 was because the benefit they got from 2005shinhan osl was incredibly good. i read this somewhere. i think it was one of the e sports magazines

I'd say ShinHan bank. I would have said GOM, but GOM was already extremely popular before it ever sponsored Starcraft.

Yeah Pringles of course. They sold them before but without any advertising and they were expensive. This was something I got them known for and now I buy them occasionaly

I'm thinking Shinhan, with 15 months of exposure so far. They're going to be appealing to a wide audience of young citizens who will be opening bank accounts within the next 5 years, and the amount of extra business they may generate could be quite large.
