Now that's an excellent sponsor. I'm French.
Maybe. But it's definitely a different direction and one that is ultimately where eSports will have to go. There are only so many giant multinationals that want to sponsor esports, and more regional/local sponsors help keep things working. I live in the US, but LABite is about 2000 miles away and doesn't serve my area in the least - I still got a very nice reply to my email thanking them for taking a chance and giving support to something as crazy as a professional video game league.

I'll be sure to let MMA, boxing, tennis, soccer and every other sport in the world to never do pre match interviews cause they all have the potential to lose!

He meant because labite means cock in French.
Well, I imagine French cock can be pretty tasty if delivered properly, quickly, and with proper packaging. (Though it might just be labeled as "chicken francaise".)
