Seems a bit strange that they rotate sponsorship. it's how it was/is in BW, i mean, if you were running a company advertising bid, wouldn't you want to get it on something that reaches massive audiences of rabid fans? | ||

Don't know if that means anything, but maybe Coca Cola is done with it? I guess they felt excluded, personally I don't drink that much sodas in favour of my teeth but I imagine a whole bunch of nerds like the sc2 community consumes a small ocean a day so they are right on their targeting. As always --> >Sponsors ---> >Better. | ||

Edit: Also already posted http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=238135 Coke has been a sponsor on previous seasons of GSL, they just weren't the title/main sponsor. There were a few seasons where Coke cans littered every booth/desk on the broadcast. | ||

Note : One of the first SC BW Starleagues was sponsored by Coca-Cola (the 2001 Coca-Cola OGN Starleague) and now the first SC2 Strarleague (i mean the GSL as a whole) is going to be sponsored by... Pepsi !  I find it kinda funny. | ||

I'm cool with Pepsi or Coke. Don't see why I have to favour one over the other. I find Pepsi to have more of a sweet taste, whereas Coke is a little more bitter. | ||

Coca-Cola just has a much deeper flavor, more nuances to it, and it isn't just a bunch of sugar to cover up the lack of any flavor. I loved when Coke sponsored the GSL. The best is when you put a can in the freezer for 1 hour, so it's like a carbonated slushy. Then you put it in one of those freezie cups with a water layer, which freezes it more. I can't believe how many people think Pepsi taste better or is the same :O | ||

Otherwise we wouldn't be able to say that Nada got 3 MSL gold kekeke Anyway, I'm not surprised at all to see mainstream brands sponsoring e-sports event. As you mentioned it started long time with the Coca-Cola OSL, and then we've had Pepsi, Snickers, Gillette, Pringles (x2), Olympus, and I probably forget some of them. | ||

Sports leagues change sponsors all the time... seems like you're spewing nonsense. Also there's a difference between the sponsorship Coca-Cola provided and the sponsorship Pepsi is providing. Coca-Cola, Razer etc are minor sponsors where they just give free products like drinks, headsets etc. Pepsi is in a similar position sponsorship-wise to the way LG was for the last few GSL's, much much more involvement then just free drinks. | ||
