Unknown/unhyped korean players routinely get a few hundreds viewers, at max. Not really that profitable. They should maybe start again but many good players have not a lot of viewers for some reasons Meh, the reason is that fan support is mostly built up by popularity, be it by hype or "seniority"/personality. Not that strange, I fear. | ||

Even the Koreans who are 100x better than our streamers get 1/10th the viewers because they don't say goofy or obnoxious things. Its sad the sorts of things that must people look for in a stream to watch It's because they don't interact with the chat and run 3 commercials in a row as often as possible. Polt and Dragon get a minimum of 2k viewers whenever they are on. Dragon is definitely goofy and that certainly helps draw viewers but Polt isn't really goofy, he just actually responds and chats to the viewers. People are looking for entertainment as much as for skill in a stream. Remember, not everyone watching streams is aspiring to be a pro. | ||

Obviously everything was perfectly understandable but Team Liquid forum members aren't exactly the target audience if you're trying to obtain legitimate sponsors. The OP with it's broken English would be a huge turnoff if I were a sponsor. Do you really think a team that has to do these kinds of posts is in a position to employ somebody just to write things in proper English for them? Since so many western sponsors proclaim to have a boundless passion and undying love for esports, I'm sure they're willing to overlook the quality of the post and pitch right in. + Show Spoiler + Sarcasm by the way. | ||

Sure, it's all meant to be humourous, but the image has spread through the community and TL like a epidemic. Before, people thinking of Zenex might have gone, "who?" or "Wasn't that Puzzle, Coca and Byun's old team?" But now, they think of Zenex as the team with the ripped asian guy, huge sunglasses guy, and the badass team captain that is too badass to stand facing the camera, instead standing perpendicular because he is too badass. Badass What I am saying is that there have been a lot of posts in this thread about people wanting to donate money to, or sponsor Zenex. What about a community-owned team? If reddit can afford to send MKP to MLG Orlando, and ONOG can afford to run a 3k tournament, is it not possible for the community to sponsor Zenex through donations? As a community funded team, Zenex would have a greater obligation to its fans/owners. Of course, there is the problem of maintaining sponsorship and keeping the community invested, as well as how much control to give the community over the team, etc. | ||

If Zenex is to have 10 active players, a coach, and a manager the "community" would need to raise a LOT of money every year. | ||
