Yes. If the map was made by a member of said team.

Otherwise how would this even be possible? 30some logos on every map? Or several teams have their logos everywhere and no one else does? Not one person would like that at all. It would also ruin the aesthetic of the map.

Only makes sense if the map maker was from the team. Reminds me of Cloud Kingdom and GSL. Subtle signatures from map makers are cool. Blatant advertising all over a game map is beyond silly.

like this? :D

I would love team logos on main buildings. I'm with you to not like ads.

They should make it as decals. Like a self-made decal and then it'll show up where decals usually go.

Should SC2 have even the slightest team support at all? I dunno Blizzard, what do you think?

It's a decal you unlock by being on Blizzcon or something.

They definitely should implement this idea. Just ban the users with offensive ones if they get through, and have a few people that have to approve this shit or something.

They must implement this only with clan system, not need more

Make an option to toggle it on/off, so tournaments etc. are able to use logos for sponsors etc. as they desire. EzPz

Valve has already initialized in-game advertising through Counter-Strike. I dont think this model of invading the game was profitable enough for them to force in-game advertisements into their new-er generation of games.

Sure it would be cool but the last thing we need right now is this stuff when our UI isn't even up to par. Shame really..Also we still have decals

You know, if a sponsor pays for an entire event I have no problem seeing that on the map.

Yeah, this is totally acceptable until SC2 becomes a serious worldwide accepted sport. Once (if) SC2 becomes "mainstream", they can dial down that kind of stuff a bit.

Why the hell not? I mean obviously there are way more urgent stuff to introduce first (clan support etc), but I wouldn't see the harm in it.

All we need now is "I hate you" writen in the fog of war in GSL games.

I'm okay with NASCAR-ing up sc2 if it makes the sport bigger and more widespread. Golden arches and all.

No. It will look god awful no matter how you do it. Even the beloved TL horse logo would look out of place on Nony's nexus, or TLO's hatch.

And we know the Pringles and Shinhan examples from BW. Just wait until we have DR. PEPPER plastered over the top of the next map pool for MLG. Then we'll get nothing but "Wah, this went too far." Sometimes I think the community agrees to stuff just so that they have a built in something to bitch about later.

I don't see any reason it should be toned down either. I mean, if you look at football there are ads all along the field, in the ice in the hockey rink. It is a bit weird that in e-sports, a business where it is constantly talked about how hard it is to attract sponsors, and where we are in total control of the arena, we do not have this yet. The amount of control we can exert over the arena is something the NHL can only really dream of, and we can be as adaptable that we could change sponsors on a game to game basis. There could probably even be dynamic areas or signs which alternate during a game, this is really an untapped goldmine.
