Not sure if this is the right section, but as we all know GSL's newest sponsor is Hot 6ix energy drink. I normally don't drink energy drinks, and I've never heard of Hot6ix before but I'm really curious about this product. Mainly because they are sponsoring my favorite tournament.
Anyways I've been scouring google to find information (i.e. prices, reviews, ect.) about the product and it's actually much more difficult than I thought it would be. They don't have an english website that i can find, and the only pages i can find on them are in korean. They are not listed on screamingenergy.com. This is pretty much the only thing that i could find on the brand..
Is this product not available world wide? According to their facebook page they are located in Nepal, and I live in california. Has anybody else had better luck buying this drink?
Please if somebody has any information about how available this product is or how to order it it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Yeah! I can't them either! And the drink actually looks quite interesting! I'd love to throw some support back at them <3
|
As far as I know, it's only sold in Korea. Which is a bit sad, because from what the guys who went to WCG told me, Hot6 is delicious.
|
Every energy drink I've tried has this weird...almost medicinal taste to it. The only ones I like are the coffee flavored ones and even those have this odd thickness/syrupiness to them.
|
The company is Samakhushi, Kathmandu, Nepal ( their facebook page sais that ). aroundseoul.com writes: A great red-bull korean clone! (hotsix.com ) don't know how true this is.. cause hotsix.com is blank for me.
maybe you can contact GOM or hotsix at facebook?
|
I don't understand why the foreign stream doesn't advertise another product.
|
it's only in korea...
maybe find their twitter and tweet at them to get a US/EU/etc branches :O
|
If it really is from Kathmandu, I would be careful as the hygene standards aren't that high over there. Because the electric power isn't enough for the whole city they have electricity only for part of the day and thus refrigerators don't work reliably. Also the tap water isn't drinkable .

It's not always possible to get a sponsor like pepsi. just so happens that this time its a korean only sponsor.

JUST A THEORY, BUT
what if ... Hot 6ix .. acutally means hot 69 ? watching the gsl stream i looked at the actual logo and the ix really looks like the old IX ( 10-1 = 9 ) the roman number for 9.. searching for this and skipping a few porn links, i got to pages like HotBlood or jump beverages wich also have a enegy drink with korean symbols on it ( http://www.jumpbeverages.com/hot.htm ) look at "Pure Energy "
as is said just a theory but maybe it's a korean version of this brand  !

mind = blown

There was a thread like this a month ago where we dug up stuff about Hot6ix and followed their social media accounts. You can probably search for it easy enough.
But yes, it is Korean only. Sponsors need to start realising how much foreign exposure they get from GSL.
|
Hot6 may never reach international markets such big as Europe or NA, which is most likely. Maybe you could visit Korea, go see the GSL and buy some Hot6. :p

The can you area talking about isn't auctally a Korean symbol. It looks Taiwanese. It is for sure not Korean though since Hangul is much more square structured then taiwaniese, and the symbol is not even close to square structured

It's a Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja (i.e. chinese character, which are/were also used in Japan/Korea)
It means heat or enthusiasm (which makes sense since the drink is called hot)

My mind is blown.

Pretty strange that they would sponsor a tournament that has such a world wide viewership and only have their product available in korea..
|
Unless they want to start shipping them. either way we count as viewers which means money for exposing us to it. Might be strange but if it supports what we like shouldn't matter. And its not like we couldn't import it :p.

I said that to my friend as soon as I saw it.
It's a double pun
'Hot Six" sounds and looks like 'hot sex' and also spelling it as '6ix' it's 69.
Very clever.

Most clever productname ever :O

It's a pretty generic energy drink full of that taurine flavor (I assume that's what gives energy drinks their uniform flavor?)

It is strange for a firm to sponsor these and not bother with the North American market. I admit not knowing much about the Korean energy drink scene,v but I suspect that the US/Canada market may be a bit more lucrative, given similar economic demographics with a far larger population. I would think an English website with some availability in major cities (NY, Chicago, LA, and maybe San Fran or Boston) should not be too much effort and expense. The payoff would be enormous. Besides, I always love Asian drinks. I go out of my way for Taiwanese and Japanese canned coffee, Taiwanese bottled Oolong tea and Korean whatever-the-f@#k-it-is-called ginseng root in a bottle. I also buy those awful tasting brown and red instant ginseng packs. They taste like a yak's backside, but supposedly pack an energy boost. A Korean energy drink that boasted its Korean energy would sell well in my opinion.

no point in entering a mature market and trying to compete with mosnter and redbulland a million and a half other soda and drinks americans already have

Amazing! I just bought it in Brazil at a small korean shop :D
Has a real nice unique flavour, definetly better than Monster. Also prize is pretty competitive, two of those lovely boys (each 250 ml) cost less than one Monster (less than 500ml)
On the can its all written in korean, but I can read "BCAA" on it, which is an amino acid, usually used for sport activities and body building.
Will ask the korean to order more of it ^^

Hot Six is beautiful. I had it while I was in Korea and I feel in love. Forever on a quest to find it here in the U.S.
