Think before you post. This should go without saying, there are so many people making absolutely idiotic comments in this thread. If you have nothing constructive to say, please don't say anything. | ||

Basically nobody likes them. They are on twitter, facebook, at MLGs. That is how sponsors gauge support, not by reading reddit or teamliquid. By the way, EG player fan club threads are some of the biggest ones on TL. | ||

Think investing in talent is better (like they did with Suppy). i understand Stephano though, i would do the same for the money. Not sure he fits in though, because he's actually good. | ||

But even thou their players are known, I don't follow any of those anymore. They suck. They started sucking since they joined EG. And if I ever knew a sponsor that is exclusively sponsoring EG, it would lessen the probability I buy something from them. Compare that to TLAF: They seem sympatic to me for their engagement with Liquid. Basically companies should do some research about the teams the sponsor....they might notice something. Being well known as a villain isn't that good if you want to sell something. Bought players achievements since joining EG: PuMa: IEM S6 Cologne, NASL S2, 2nd at Dreamhack Winter and IEM S6 WC, 3rd at IEM Guangzhou and ASUS ROG Winter HuK: MLG Orlando, 3rd MLG Winter Arena, 4th MLG Winter Championship JYP didn't really have results in the first place, but has performed well in some tournaments. Thorzain didn't bomb out in Code A/S and has only played one tournament since on EG. Doesn't seem too bad to me? Basically, what you are saying is that because you hate EG, you hate all their sponsors, and because you like Liquid, you like their sponsor - which is fair enough, people have their favourites. Also, I like TLAF, but EG's sponsors are definitely bigger than most team's sponsors. Sponsors don't require a team to be nice and fluffy and full of people that never do anything bad, if anything, being the "bad guy" of eSports gives both EG and their sponsors much, much more than just being an average foreign team. | ||

I know EG works hard to get those sponsors but is it really only the attention/drama EG creates that the sponsors are interested in? I would imagine that the sponsors would rather go to some other popular teams that actually win a ton of stuff. Not that I hate EG, but I am a bit confused on how EG is getting so much money and why sponsors keep flocking towards them when there are so many other teams that post more results and dare I say, deserve great sponsorship as well. It's about the amount of people that see their brand. It's not about deserving, it's about money. Demuslim, idra and incontrol get alot of viewers. Plus they promote their sponsors more than other teams. | ||

They're like the biggest team in the US, so would sponsors help them or other unstable team like Check Six? | ||
