Energy drink maker Red Bull continues to invest in eSports. The company has added Choi Ji Sung, better known to the pro gaming world as “Bomber”. Sung is the sixth pro gamer that Red Bull is backing in the growing eSports category. He’s also the first Korean gamer that will wear the Red Bull merchandise while playing StarCraft II in global competitions.

Red Bull signed Sung to a contract this month, although the length of the contract has not been disclosed. Sung will work closely with both the Red Bull USA and South Korea teams. He recently attended the Red Bull LAN along with top pro gamers from around the world at the US Red Bull headquarters in Los Angeles in preparation for Major League Gaming’s Orlando Pro Circuit Tour Stop.

No, Red Bull is just a sponsor of his. He's still on ST.

I don't think so. It's most likely a personal sponsorship by Redbull.

No. It's a private sponsorship I do believe.

Yup, Bomber told us in his fanclub that RedBull sponsored him personally.

This is really cool for Bomber. Congrats to him!

Thanks for the hint Sarang, I've found the post from Bomber on TL (Link), it's a personal sponsorship:

Hi my fans
I,m very sad about recent games
I know that you are worried about my bad conditon
It was caused by tight travel schedule(MLG Raleigh,Redbull Lan party,MLG Orlando,Sweden BenQ event)
I don,t have time to practice GSL Code S,and always in bad condition
i know that i have to practice in korea instead travel
but MLG Orlando.. i promised to MLG fans that i would go MLG Orlaando so i have to go
and Redbull Lan party..i went there to contract with redbull
I’m just telling for the first time this,Red Bull is my sponsor(not team,just about me)
and BenQ event..i just want to practice at ST house but i don,t have option
so i had just 1 day to practice GSL Code S always
and i have jet lag too,it made me terrible conditon
so I`ll not participate any tournament untill December 31 expect MLG providence
I think it`ll be my last tournament in this year
I am pretty sure that i`ll comeback soon if i have little time to practice
I'm sorry to have troubled you
I'm not gonna let you down any more^^
See you at MLG!! bye

ps: don,t worry about nervous problem, i don,t have nervous problem at all


For everybody who's asking: No, Bomber did not leave Startale.

They are saying redbull gaming as if they have a pre-existing team. Is he the only gamer sponsored by them at this point or are there others?
