well there isn't a single good player on this team, so I don't see this sponsorship lasting long unless they actually have somebody else who will recruit players with good potential or high skill.

Congrats to Desrow. Perhaps with a new team we'll be seeing him at some live events. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say it would be sick to see him and Minigun to play outside of home.

Yeah imgur has no reason to sponsor sc2 and has not yet made an announcement or given lgn any type of comment. Unless they do so its hard to take that sponsorship seriously. And I can bet lgn wont be putting up any type of statement from them in the future as well.

Mr.Grim, the creator of imgur posted on reddit discussing the sponsorship, so yes, it's legit.

Disappointed Desrow keeps getting picked up by teams - he's all marketing, and, imo, poorly done marketing.

I'm not sure why Desrow gets so much crap. I've only heard his name relatively recently (5-6 months?), but I've been watching his stream on and off in the last month and he seems pretty polite. I've never seen him rage out at an opponent or member of chat. Maybe he's done some really stupid things in the past that people can't/don't want to forgive him for? Not sure, but he seems like a normal guy now.

Best of luck to Desrow and LgN.

To the trolls, what do you mean he don't deserve it? This thread itself deserves a congratulations as it already proved you wrong.
It's not a matter of whether you like him or not.
It's not a matter of whether you think he's qualified or not.
It's not a matter of whether he even murders someone in front of you in a fit of rage after losing a game.
You might not see what other people see in him, but who are you to judge?
Everyone deserves a second chance, who says he can't change his habits after getting a sponsor? Or maybe he has already began changing slowly some time ago but you fail to realize because you're holding a grudge against him?
Main point being, to those who have so many negative comments to give, get someone to freaking sponsor you before you start talking
I watch him stream sometimes, I admit I'm not a huge fan of his play, some people say it's a free country and they can criticise him in whatever way they like, but hell, this is a thread showing that "someone like him" (to those of you big critics out there) can get sponsored while most of you can't.
How many of you are even willing to take the first step and say "I'm gonna do this shit full time" and gets sponsored?
If one day you're looking for a sponsor, do you want all the support you can get?
If you already have one, do you want to always have people who will continue to support you?
Therefore, I might not know you well, I might not worship you as I do to MC, HuK and Hero but CONGRATULATIONS to you desRow and hope you make it into the big scene someday.

hes an average masters level player.

this is why no one thinks he deserves it.

hes also extremely bad mannered and very fake and kid like when he runs into actual pros. and will then say he should have won when he inevitably loses. hes a bad winner. a bad loser. and hes fat.

hes a stain on an otherwise great scene
