Sponsors will then go to SK's player profile and and get the impression that both players are exclusively playing for SK. Smart. LOL if these sponsors don't check the backgrounds of two of the most famous SC2 players in the world they deserved to get duped. But I don't think SK is stupid enough to try a stunt like that. A Google search would disprove it. | ||

The question is how much of that sponsorship money will go to oGs. | ||

I don't wanna see MC and NaDa wear the SK tag seriously... Wearing a SK badge on their shirt is OK because SK will act as a "sponsor" for them but wearing the tag in their names just NO. They'll wear an SK shirt and a tag. | ||

I imagine they will but SK won't pull out a baldfaced (and easily disprovable) lie to do so. If they do get the sponsors I've concerned how SK will be using the money. Like I said before they haven't exactly laid out a long-term plan to establish themselves in the SC2 scene. | ||

And honestly, I think whether you love or hate him, he brings a lot of excitement to every event he's at. | ||

As long as NaDa and MC continue going to foreign events, i don't really care what team they're representing. Just want to see some quality games out of top class players. | ||

SK has a tighter grip on the esports scene? Really? What with their CS team, quake players, and WoW team? Real esports powerhouse there. In the two largest esports scenes, SC and fighting games, they have shit. I would say they have a very weak grip on the esports scene and are grasping at straws here. | ||

It's clear that SK are parasites just want to make money and market their brand. They don't give a shit about e-sports or the players that represent them. ? what do you mean. i wouldn't even put him in top 50 for sc2 players. | ||

It's clear that SK are parasites just want to make money and market their brand. They don't give a shit about e-sports or the players that represent them. Sponsors have always been and always will be about making money, expanding their brand recognition, etc. I didn't even know sk HAD an SC2 team at all. You can't blame them for wanting good representation. If anything, that's BETTER for Esports, because Sponsorships SHOULD be difficult to obtain and require you to be one of the best, rather than a joke. EDIT: No idea why I capitalized Sponsorships, including in this edit. | ||

I really like that SK is going to sponsorship MC and NaDa and I think that it's a great way to position theirselves at the scene (because their former team was too much unknown), but it'll be a bit strange seeing them with different tags. | ||
