People seem to have serious issues understanding why this matters. You don't promote the company to improve their sales in whatever country you live in. You promote the company so that they CONTINUE TO SPONSOR E-SPORTS. It directly benefits you to support them. If you didn't care about e-sports you wouldn't even be on teamliquid in the first place. So it's totally irrelevant whether they are only in Korea or not. Good god.

Some people really have too much time/money on their hands.


Sad to say this, but it is true.
I am not an advertising board.... Let them do their own marketing, by paying GOMTV money we are already helping them.

I wasn't aware billboards express gratitude. I obviously can't buy their product since it's not in the US but 2 seconds out of my day to say thanks isn't much of a bother, nor is it advertising for them in any way. o_o;

I'm cranky whether I wake up on the right side of the bed or not.

But seriously, why should I care? I can't do anything to support the company, me posting on facebook or whatever the OP expects me to do isn't gonna get them to sell their products overseas. Again, I appreciate them sponsoring GSL, and I hope people who live in Korea buy their drinks because of it, but there's nothing I can do.

also their ad is pretty crass am I supposed to be impressed that they know that guys like boobs? seriously are we twelve

I would just like to point out that in the time you spent typing about how you don't care, you could have written "Thanks for sponsoring the HOT6ix GSL!" about 6 times.

You vastly underestimate the amount of attention the higher ups of the sponsors give to social networking and the impacts of their investments. If you say thanks or any such SHOWING of gratitude in a public forum you are encouraging them to spend more money in e-sports. It takes no time for you to do and it increases the chances of them putting more money into e-sports, thereby increasing the funding and making the product (e-sports) better.

I said that I appreciate their sponsorship, sorry for not going on facebook to do it but I don't think it's fair to say I'm unsupportive or something when I said that I'm glad they're doing it.

I do care, and again, I am glad they're sponsoring GSL, and I would buy their products if I could. It's really hard for me to give a shit about a company when I don't know who they are and can't do anything to support them, though.

I don't think that they are a new company, on the can it says "Lotte", the biggest snack food company in Korea. regardless, we should make them feel revered for sponsoring GSL!

I also think this is true. In fact it has repeatedly been mentioned on SoTG that this is the way to go about things. The general statement is generally something like "Please send an e-mail or message them and tell them theyre doing a good thing. If you like their products, please buy them." In fact the way big corporations operate is that the marketing team needs numbers to gauge the effectiveness of their campaigns. In they have gone from 200 to 10.000 likes on facebook, where most of them comes with the message "thanks for sponsoring the GSL", the marketing team can slam those numbers the next time the CEO or Board asks. Its a direct measure of the campaigns success. And furthermore sales is just the net effect of marketing. Building a brand name inadvertently builds sales over time. It is in fact a way more long term strategy than buying a soda can from time to time. Take for instance Red Bull, they sponsor most or maybe all extremesports. When i think of Red Bull i think of Big Airs and jumping out of fucking airplanes. How awesome is that? They have done great work in associating their brand with a certain activity - maybe Hot 6ix wishes to do the same?

If I could walk down to the shops and get a case of the stuff I would, but I can't. The advertising falls on deaf ears to foreigners.

People actually knew about Pepsi before they sponsored the GSL of course :D

I do agree that it should be mentioned more in the write-ups though.

Now, I present you with the HOT6ix commercial.
