You can see the clip here: I agree with his point and think that we should think of something that gives more exposure to sponsors, since they would want to sponsor sc2 players more then. I was thinking something in style of custom decals with the sponsors name, which would appear on every building the player built. Have no more ideas at the moment but thats why I started this thread. What can we do to help ESPORTS? | ||

You ask yourself how sponsers can annoy us with more advertise? You also ask yourself how company's could get more money from you and how you are able to buy a product for more money than they want? You know what i have a solution. Because you are so worry about them making money, you just give them all your money and we dont see shit advertise ingame! | ||

Yeah , but ESV are the map creator and i dont think that it would be viable to have a metric shitton of maps because of the sponsors. Like mentioned by TB imho , putting sponsors in the overlay is a far more easy and visually better. Besides that, custom decals would be very nice and should be doable to implement , but i dont think blizzard will do this  | ||

Blizzard does not want companies making money off sc2, without blizzard getting royalties. | ||

Unintrusive chat messages that only appear to spectators (like an Adbot), Overlays with moving parts. Shots of tournament sponsor stuff before going into the game (GSL style) casters mentioning it every possible time they can. | ||

Other than that, organizations will have to get more clever with either mentioning it more during casts, naming events after sponsors (similar to PGA/ATP events), or other such tricks. Another aspect that I've done as part of organizations in the past is assigning a contest to an event or a social media page attached to an event. Gives you some tangible statistics too. | ||

You, you are not. So here's my idea. The Protoss are replaced by Coca-Cola, Zealots are Sinalco bottles, Stalkers are Coke-Zero cans and Carriers are Chupa-Chups (because they suck, geddit?). Zergling Speed is renamed 'Just Do It' and the lings gain little Nike shoes, you can choose what brand of Nikes in the custom decal section like this is NBA2K12. For Terran, Marines are removed and replaced by 'Marlboro Men' who have a constant stim (due to being super cool because they smoke cigarettes) but lose health over time. Not only is this great advertising but it's a gameplay mechanic as well! We can sell that spot for HUNDREDS OF CENTS! | ||

I already get enough exposure of ads through TV and different sites (although I use adblock). Let me have a relaxing ad free experience with at least Starcraft 2. No, I don't think sponsors should get anything in the game at all! | ||

Of course TB has an opinion on it, he makes a very good amount of money from them. Of course EG cares about how to get sponsorship out there, they're being paid millions of dollars to do so.

Can you explain it to me because i just dont get it. Why do so many young people ask themself how companys can take their money? They think they own them the money or they do something "good" by helping other people get their money? Its like up site down world here on tl. Costumers dont try to get the best product for lowest price they think about how company can sell them worst product for highest price. Im not kidding right now, i really don't understand it and i want to understand what going on in this peoples mind. For me it just look insane but there are so many of them... | ||

I think it's basically a mixture of conditioning and naiveté. They like Starcraft, they've been told Starcraft and eSports doesn't exist without Sponsors, so they support the sponsors and go out of their way to do so. You've got to remember that the majority of the audience is very young which will lead to this sort of 'Doing something for nothing so they'll be my friend' thought path. | ||
