nice that nos is sponsoring a team now not just MLG really shows that they have interest in e-sports
maybe they should do some more research before they sponsor some team (maybe vile so they can maybe dig up some american talent which we really need desperately in the community right now imo)


Vile was absorbed by Quantic. It's Gosu is still a new team building a good base of players. I'd hold off on the hate until you see their team results. They've done very well in the EG Masters Cup and seem like they're improving.


what hate?
are dde and yata relevant for international competitions?
are their koreans top tier?

-NO
just stating the facts here
that made me wonder why nos choose them...

and they didn't really do well in EG masters cup either .... they are 2-5
i mean i don't have anything against it's gosu i just don't understand nos' decision to sponsor them

they would have got much more attention if they would sponsor a team with more fans and better players / players with more character
just take this thread as an example
if liquid would announce a new sponsor (no matter what sponsor) this thread would have ~50 pages by now but this thread has 3


You know what a hater is right? Do you not hear yourself? You're ripping on a team because...they have less pages of comments in a thread? Seriously?

And please look at the EGMCSL Season 7 website. They currently have 16 points in the standings. Just 3 points away from being tied with Empire. Also, what do you mean NOS should sponsor another team? You see how many teams are sponsored by Monster and/or Redbull right? You can't sponsor a team that's already sponsored by a competing brand. It's Gosu is new, and up-and-coming. They don't have a lot of signature sponsorships and have teams in other games. Perhaps you don't understand marketing.


did you actually read what i wrote?
what i was trying to say is not that the team is bad or anything because i don't care about it's gosu at all

i was just saying that i don't understand why nos would sponsor it's gosu a team with -I will say this again and you can't deny the fact that this is true- a lot of mediocre and internationally irrelevant players.
if i was the marketing manager of nos i would never even consider to sponsor it's gosu
I'm sorry and i don't mean to bash the team or offend the fans but almost none of their players have ANY achievements whatsoever and their biggest success was qualifying for EG masters season 7 where they are currently at 2 wins and 5 losses (i don't know what you are talking about with them being almost tied with empire....)


and i wasn't "ripping on them" because they have less pages in a thread it was just another example to prove my point that noone really cares about it if they sponsor a team like it's gosu
or are you saying that sponsors love to get as little audience for their sponsored team as possible? --- yeah right...

also it's gosu is not a "new" and "up-and coming" team ...
they have been around since 2010 pls do youre research before you complain

There is games outside of StarCraft II. Their Dota 2 team is fantastic. Their HoN team is top 3 worldwide. And their management is professional, so you know your invested money is not going to waste but put to good use to bring the team further.

Just my personal opinion. (And i'm doing this for a living).

yeah i didn't know they had a good hon/dota2 team
then it makes a lot more sense for nos to sponsor them
figured it was not because of the sc2 squad...

Major mainstream sponsor, this can only be a good thing for ItsGosu.

Not sure if anyone would have seen, but one of the MLG Halo pros Strongside also picked up a NOS sponsorship deal in the same annoucement. Obviously NOS have been pleased with the results they have had from sponsoring MLG and want to invest more into eSports. I guess we have ourselves to thank for that :D

So... sVnteen's reason for complaining about NOS marketing not doing their research is because sVnteen didn't do this research?

Actually, only one team is sponsored by Monster.

Too true.

Also, keep in mind you do not always know anything about the negotiations that went on, or what NOS was looking for, or even what our future holds. You really know nothing but the surface, so criticizing will just make you look foolish! If in a year we are no better, then it's maybe fair.

besides all those results... don't believe sponsors watch the results of every tournament out there... The management doing a good job of showing what they can bring, as far as exposure goes, to a sponsor, and just knowing how to deal with them, are as much as or even more important than cutting edge results. And hopefully sponsors don't all jump on the 2/3 best teams....
1) a team can't have XX main sponsors > less exposure by being 4th sponsor of a big team, than 1st of a "second tier" team, plus it might even cost less money
2) with your reasoning, 90% of teams would outright die. "Hey, you're not the best one, sorry I'm outta here".

Congrats to them, and best of luck in future tournaments GoSu guys !

Close enough. Also what Ruscour said above

Congrats to GoSu! Admittedly I've only seen NOS in the context of MLG, but whatever. Can't be a bad thing :D
