ugh i promised my self not to post, but i kow my fellow nerds are scared/worried about GSL not having a sponsor this season.
There actually is a sponsor.
![[image loading]](http://file.thisisgame.com/board/files/0/img/20110628103907_6ae00889.jpg)
u can hear a soda pouring sound right before announcing player's name.
i was looking through my twitter earlier today and noticed conversation between Dr. Chae and reporter of Thisisgame.
+ Show Spoiler +Altair1973[Castor~★]심현 이번 GSL 스폰은 펩시군요. 어제 코드A 개막했는데 스폰서가 없나 걱정했더니...어제 경기 시작 직전 탄산음료 따는 소리와 물방울 CG는 펩시 힌트였군요... http://bit.ly/iiF9GFWoWnStarcraftJungwon Chae @ @Altair1973 헤헤 걸렸나요
currently Gomtv is too busy posting up the sponsor, but i am sure they will put it up by the time of Finals. Congrats to Gretech for getting an awesome mainstream sponsor!!
bottom is a link to korean Starcraft 2 community site regarding the GSL's new sponsor.
http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=687134&board=&category=13438&subcategory=&page=1&best=&searchmode=&search=&orderby=&token=
I've translated main importan parts,
In GSL July, Korean girl group 5dolls will be the group that will be announcing code S player's names.
한편 이번 펩시 GSL July의 걸 그룹은 파이브돌스(5dolls)로 이번 시즌 선수들의 아이디와 이름을 호명하며 상큼 발랄한 모습으로 전세계 e스포츠 팬들과 만날 예정이다.
Korean Pepsi Marketing Yoon Hyun Lee said, "We decided to sponsor GSL, because GSL has global marketting value, and popuarlity we are looking for. We are looking forward to E-sports fans world wide in GSL July."
한국 펩시 콜라의 이윤현 마케팅 이사는 ”GSL은 펩시 콜라가 추구하는 글로벌이라는 가치를 실현하고 있으며 전 세계적으로 호응을 얻고 있기 때문에 대회 후원을 결정하게 되었다.”며 “전세계 e스포츠 팬들과 함께할 펩시 GSL July에 큰 기대를 하고 있다”고 밝혔다

So many advertising opportunities with the Pepsi logo and Korean flag :p
Nice sponsor

Pepsi > Coca Cola > Pepsi
They're more indecisive than IntoTheRainbow's screenname.

|
|
I actually prefer Pepsi over Coke, I find it easier to swallow.
|
Mmmmm mountain dew. Good sponsor.
Imo, old spice should get in on this.
|
|
|
lol now the ppl from that other thread can stop breathing into a brown paper bag
GJ pepsi.. still prefer coke haha
|
OH noes what drink do i have now to support ESPORTS (((
Gz to gsl and gj pepsi you made a good decision
|
Pepsi FIGHTING! lol I could keep a straight face typing that. Nerds ftw!

Heh, exactly
|
Does this mean Tastosis will have their studio time supply of free coke replaced with pepsi?
But it's cool, more mainstream sponsors is a nice thing.
|
Noooo I haven't finished my box of Coca-Cola...WHYY GOM!! Stick with the same soft drink!
|
Pepsi.Nestea?
Hm...
In any case, great for the GSL/TL ;D
|
PepsiCo products that we can buy to support GSL/Pepsi:
Pepsi
Mountain Dew
Lay's potato chips
Gatorade
Diet Pepsi
Tropicana beverages
7UP (outside U.S.)
Doritos tortilla chips
Lipton teas (PepsiCo/Unilever partnership)
Quaker foods and snacks
Cheetos
Mirinda
Ruffles potato chips
Aquafina bottled water
Pepsi Max
Tostitos tortilla chips
Sierra Mist
Fritos corn chips
Walkers potato crisps
I love Lipton green tea and Doritos, so of course I will continue buying those. I like pepsi and coke but will choose pepsi for sure now.
|
LOL
So the thread about the new logos hidden in the SC2 patch files maybe WERE actually Pepsi logos and not the korean flag?
+ Show Spoiler +
Although I guess since they changed to a newer logo it probably isn't actually true. But still Interesting how it tied together.
|
Hehe, energy drinks to play longer, junk food like dorritos, pizza rolls to eat at the desk, and soda to drink is what us gamers like!
|
Coke AND Pepsi sponsored GSL now. It's getting noticed!
|
Congratulations, GSL. Good news!
|
Oh damn! Coca Cola OSL, 10 years later, Pepsi GSL, s*** just got real! Congrats to GSL for getting Pepsi as a sponsor, this is such great news for growth inside Korea!!! :D
|
Whoa SC2 gettin some awesome sponsors!!
Thanks for the translation!!
|

Nice. Love all these big names sponsoring GSL. I drink coke, but I use a lot of other pepsico products.
|
The irony that me and CaucasianAsian went to the store today, and instead of buying two packs of Coke/Sprite, we got Mountain Dew and Pepsi instead.
It was a sign. A sign from esports

Intel is still one of the sponsors right? So in an indirect way SNSD has been promoting E-sports this whole time. If you're hoping SNSD will perform, um, GOM would probably have to cut the prize pool in half to afford them I think.

oh nice, good to have a sponsor : )
|
great, warm Pepsi for Tastosis

Only if they have money left lying around, cause SNSD requires money money money money money money.

They should have gotten rainbow, that should be affordable.

rainbow was so hot ! and they didn't even lip sync! i would def. prefer rainbow back over 5dolls. 5dolls just suck.
|
Haa, it's amazing. I was so scared to not see a sponsor, and so confused at the same time to hear a "PSHHHHT" (soda pouring sound) before the players names :D
|
Weee, go Pepsi, my favorit brand. Im gonna celebrate with a cold can of Pepsi Max.
|
pepsi is my favourite soda, cool cool
|
ok i take it back. i like 5dolls. they are hot!
|
Yes!! Keep em coming! The game is getting bigger than ever, the future is looking bright, assuming Blizzard stops dicking around. more sponsors more money!
|
Looks like I know what I'm drinking for the rest of the next month.
|
I thought they already were sponsored by Pepsi? Remember they always had the Gatorade and Pepsi cans on the desk ... Maybe I'm just crazy ~
|
After reading this I went to the store for some smokes, saw Pepsi and Coke next to each other, and I usually would've gotten Coke but told my brother that Pepsi was sponsoring Starcraft and I bought TWO. That's my good deed for the month!

Dr.Pepper is a brand name owned by Pepsi-Cola i think.
GSL used to have Coca-Cola has a sponsor we used to see Coke bottlers on caster's desk, and ANY other drinks, even in player boots had labels removed. except powerade, a brand name owned by coca cola, wouldnt be surprised to see gatorade bottles all over this time
EDIT: this all makes sense, GSL - MLG have some kind of affiliation, MLG being sponsored by a Pepsi brand name, Pepsi-cola had no choice but to sponsor GSL

I'd pay double a month if they can get SNSD

Well I gotta admit, I like Coke more than Pepsi. But I'll find one of the smaller Pepsi brands I do like and drink that when I get soda . EDIT: Mug Root Beer and Sobe it is.
|
Now if we can just get 2NE1 for the next GSL. <3
