OP updated.
Much thanks to Phosgene for the awesome traslation.
After reading the interview for last nights code S, there were references to oGs having a new sponsor. So i did a little digging and with the help of google translate, oGs has a new sponsor named "mom's touch" (according to google tranlate) a chicken place.
Below is a detailed (and awesomely translated) article from the oGs website:
Soon, we will be witness to the ‘chicken derby’ in the upcoming GSLs.
On June 22th, SC2’s progaming team oGs had an informal get-together with HaeMaRo Food Service company at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Parktel. HaeMaRo Food Service is the larger company that runs the chain food store “Mom’s Touch.”
HaeMaRo Food Service revealed their plans to use eSport and by sponsoring their representative oGs, to increase awareness and appeal of the “Mom’s Touch” brand to their main demographic ranging from 10 to 30 year olds. “Mom’s Touch” already has over 200 franchises around the nation and their main menu items revolve around chicken and hamburgers.
After the ceremony, oGs’s representatives said a short message saying “We want to thank Mom’s Touch for choosing to sponsor our team, we hope to move forward together in cooperation and hope that we can be of help for the company.”
Now “Mom’s Touch” which sponsors oGs is being seen as a rival to PRIME’s sponsor “Sabasaba Chicken”. So, we will be witness to the “chicken derby” between oGs and PRIME in the future.
The following is the short interview with oGs’s Hwang Gyu Hoon about the agreement.
- How much was the sponsorship worth?
We are contracted for a sponsorship length of 1 year. I don’t want to reveal the specifics of the agreement, but it is just short of 200 million won.
- Do you have any specific activities planned (to promote this sponsorship)?
We plan to promote the franchise through our players. It may be through ceremonies in between matches, or through various other planned events and maybe by participating in other offline events as well. We also plan to market using social networking. We plan to use all our resources so that we can both benefit from this experience.
- The details of the sponsorship?
It includes both cash and gifts. There are provisions for both coupons (for food) and travel expenses, and overall the ratio of money to these perks is about 2:1.
- Do you think you will now be considered rivals to PRIME whose primary sponsor is “Sabasaba chicken”?
Mom’s Touch’s representatives are well aware of Sabasaba chicken. I think future matches with PRIME will have very fun outcomes.
- Can we call that the “chicken derby”?
oGs is always a fan of anything that the fans can have fun with, so if that’s what they want, they can call it that.
- Does the sponsorship have provisions for extensions?
We do plan to have talks for extensions once this sponsorship period is over. ESH will work hard to get sponsorships for not just oGs but also other teams as well so that they can all be in a secure position.
- Does EHS deal with both oGs and TeamLiquid?
Yes, they have a memorandum of understand (MOU) signed with TeamLiquid. oGs also has a similar contract with them.
- The background to how this contract went down?
ESH managers and Mom’s Touch’s representatives have known each other for quite a while and these talks started since the target audience for eSports and Mom’s Touch happen to be similar.

Prime vs OGS chicken show match now!
|
wow this is awesome
i guess restaurants really like progaming teams :D
|
|
|
Wonder why they didn't choose to sponsor Startale...
|
I wonder which team has the better chicken? oGs i'm sure has better chicken, i'd much rather eat mom's touch then saba saba imo.
|
Another chicken sponsor??
I demand a SABASABA vs Mom's Touch Event match!
Losing team's sponsor gives away free chickens for spectators.
|
Mom's Touch is such a fucking good name too haha. Good that the korean teams are finding sponsors, they really deserve it the most based off of pure skill.
|
|
|
Holy check, grats to OGS, they going to eat SO MUCH korean bbq now with all the money.

I wanna be korean pro gamer, eating chicken and playing the best game ever.

What an oddly named sponsor.

This happened for a while now but no one translated it.props

Yeah but it's interesting why oGs never goes so good in GSTL with that many Code S players...  Oh well maybe GSTL July is oGs for the taking!

KFC sponsorship of Slayers needs to happen.

On the otherhand, if July could press two keys at once, that would effectively double his APM, can you imagine 1200 APM O_O

It must make Cella pretty sad everyone but him is sponsored by Chicken restaurants :D
grats oGs, baller status enhanced!
|
$180,000 sponsor > jaw drops > rolls over
Also, incoming KFC sponsoring SlayerS.

Yay chicken! I swear, some teams get the most random sponsors... Mom's Touch? Whatever!

EG to be sponsored by KFC soon?
|
Mom's Touch sounds like its straight out of the south. I like SABASABA better. I wonder if these places are popular like Chick-fil-a in U.S.

And nice for oGs, let's hope the other sc2 Korean teams will find good sponsors as well, in case they haven't already.

The hippocampus?? I'm so confused, such a silly translation haha~~
|
always happy to see more money from sponsors going into the Korean SC2 scene
the players deserve it and need it
|
Awww. I was hoping Kyochon Chicken would be the new oGs sponsor just so I have an excuse to eat there more often.

I was thinking the same thing. Also this:
[quote]For sponsorship?
- Cash or in kind includes both. Also contains information such as coupons or deals, and the overall recommendations ... is the ratio of about 2:1.
I uh.. Is there sponsorship in part food discounts? I guess that is pretty cool..
Good news though, yay SC2 sponsorship!

Great oGs is my favourite team always great to hear they are getting more support .)
Also Nada in his summer break will destroy everyone !

Move over beverage war, it's chicken time.
KFC sponsors MVP.
Popeye sponsors HoSeo.

"'Saba Saba Chicken' PRIME is being sponsored by the composition and the formation of rival do you think?
- Mom to the Saba Saba, President of touch knows about chicken. PRIME and fight for the future seems to come out funny pictures."
hahah wtf?
President of touch knows about chicken. Well good for president of touch.

Popeyes sponsors MVP -
Burger King Sponsors IM -IMmvpKing!
KFC sponsors Complexity just for 'Col.Sanders'

Its nice seeing coporate support for some of the teams in Korea hopefully the trend continues !

|
Another Chicken sponsor is pretty funny. Any sponsor is a good sponsor at this point though and I'm glad oGs got it. Will it affect Huk and Jinro at all?
|
Another sponsor for OGS! No surprise considering MC's performance!
|
Isnt' the hippocampus some brain part? What's that to do with chicken?

Well good job to oGs let the chicken deathmatch begin

Forget KFC. I want to see MLG Raleigh get sponsored by Bonjangles. :-)
|
I'm waiting for another hilarious team name change fiasco like what happened with KT a few years ago
oGs Chef anyone?
|
They should have an oGs vs PRIME chicken eating contest. What I can't understand is why one of these companies didn't sponsor Startale (you know why ).
|
Come on guys BurgerKingPrime is the only real choice

I would like to know, too. This what I came up with my limited Korean.
"Together with Team Liquid, we reached an exclusive agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding. Also, oGs reached a similar contract (just as Team Liquid)."
ESH is a manufacturing company in Korea. I think they have some type of agreement with them. If someone with better Korean can translate it that would be great.
|
as funny as it is (and it is VERY funny to me =D ), I`m really happy that oGs found a new Sponsor. 180 grand for one year will help a lot when it comes to paying the bills.
|
suprised this isn't featured news, really good for teamliquid if the house they are with is getting sponsored. Probably doesn't directly affect them but it will probably create a great atmosphere.

Huk tweeted a couple of days ago that he was eating a lot of chicken sandwiches from Mom's Touch. Lucky for Huk and Jinro .

He probably does anyway. I mean if your name is "Julyzerg," what COULDN'T you do and still win?

Haha, GSL better make the booths bigger before the oGs people wont fit in them anymore.
This is really great news though!
offtopic: wish the korean teams would also get an english translation of their website so the foreigners can keep a closer eye on the team he/she likes

Aren't all the SC2 team rosters too huge right now splitting this money a ton of ways? How are they dividnig up salary? Will it be on an individual basis popularity and performance basis, or tier basis (Code S, Code A, Code B)? Is the manager or sponsor the one who decides who gets paid what?

As far as I know oGs, like most teams in Korea do not provide wages. But all the players get free housing, PC, food and other necessities.
Also oGs.Chicken fighting!

I'm disappointed Kraze Burger still hasn't entered the game. SC2 ain't legit 'til then.

now we just need McDonalds and Burger King to start sponsoring teams! in all seriousness though any sponsor for a team is awesome, growth of esports fightinggg
|
the title is slightly misleading insofar as it seems it's 180K wons, and not dollars, which does make a difference. Otherwise nice to see more sponsors getting into it .

this is how most Korean SC2 progamers are living. some are lucky/skilled enough to make it deep into tournaments & win them, but most are stuck in Code A/B and are just hoping they can make a run into Code S and get deep into a Code S tournament.
the only team that I am aware of that actually had some salaried players was TSL (FruitDealer & Tester), but they've switched teams and I'm not sure if TSL has any other salaried players

Guys..guys...guys...
I have something for all of us to think about.
If any of you were after SC2 merchandise, and kOre(starcraftmecca) said to us that some teams arent willing to sell/make merchandise yet due to not having sponsers....
Does that mean our chances of getting some oGs jackets/tshirts has increased??!?!
THINK ABOUT IT!
ESPORTS!
|
Hmm wonder what this MOU with TL is. Do they get a cut or do they just not have to get a rival sponsor and the like?

$60k worth of food coupons for a year seems to be ok for team of 15-20 players. That will be a lot of chicken and burgers. Hope they don't get tired of it

I believe a majority of that 2:1 money/coupon sponsorship money will go into international event travel expenses. The oGs team can probably have all the food they want from Mom's Touch Chicken.

I expect to see a lot more activity in the NaDa's body thread now that he will be consuming a lot more protein.

They said they'd pay for some travel expenses. Nada at MLG? One can dream.
