Generically, I guess I should be trying to support all e-sports, but I only watch SC2. I don't want MLG to think my purchasing of a t-shirt was a show of support for Halo or Black-Ops or any other game they add. I also don't expect every last cent of my purchase to go towards SC2, I just want the purchase to be recognized as support for SC2. | ||

Great point, if there is a specific way to accomplish this I would definitely do it. | ||

Not all, but many of MLG's t-shirts are themed around a game and/or platform (Xbox, PC, etc). Their effort to level the playing field this year is a strong indicator that they'll be announcing SC2 and/or PC-themed apparel in the near future (almost certainly before Dallas) - they will want to have swag to sell at the events for each of their main stage games. Obviously, sales from these items can easily be mapped back to the game(s) they're referencing, which addresses your question (at least in regards to a portion of their apparel). General MLG apparel (i.e., non game-specific shirts/hats with the MLG logo) is, as you imply, more of an open question as to how/if that'd be linked back to SC2 -- in all likelihood, it's probably not. They probably just break down the swag sales into categories and - up until now - much of that has been either general MLG merch or Halo-themed merch, the latter of which I'm sure they've made a killing on (particularly when MLG started offering name-customized player shirts at the venue). | ||

Sundance's brief discussion regarding his recent trips to HK and UK and the prospect of "going global" got me wondering: is there any connection between today's announcement of China's Ministry of Culture approving SC2 and MLG's efforts to expand internationally? Did Sundance travel to Hong Kong to talk about partnering with a company over there to hold MLG-branded tournaments in China? It's possible/likely that I'm making connections where none exist, but in any case, it's interesting discussion. | ||
