source: http://www.reddit.com/r/ShitRedditSays/comments/111nj7/effort_rstarcraft_is_apparently_ok_with_adults/ Here is a campaign going to get the Subreddit removed (SRS) http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/reddit-com-administration-remove-the-subreddit-r-shitredditsays-and-associated-subreddits Edit: Their attempt to sabotage the petition is pretty much all the examples you need... They pretend to support freedom of speech, but whenever feeling threatned they turn to... well.. this... If they TRULY supported freedom of speech, they would just ignore the petition. | ||

Idra just tweeted this Greg Fields @idrajit how to be an awesome esports fan: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=375360 … Actions like this support the scene. We all want the SC2 pro scene to continue and grow, right? This helps that to happen, so how can people complain about that is beyond me. Let the sponsors know you appreciate their support and have bought or will consider buying their products as a direct response to their sponsorship of a tournament/team/player. | ||

In the spirit of that i actually started on a GIF just recently of infinity sevens sponsors to help make them more visible in game for the player's streams. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FsED9.gif) | ||

This is what started the spree of contacting sponsors for negative feedback, a great portion of the scene begging people to contact sponsors to show support. You show people what is important to you, you also show them what matters the most to you and where it hurts the most to get hit. The ultimate support that truly matters to these sponsors is you actually buying their products. Facebook likes and friendly e-mails build rapport and help grow a relationship, but it can only be sustained by money flow. | ||

Stop treating competitive SC2 as if it's 5 people in a basement trying to get something going, it's a multi-million dollar profitable industry that doesn't need propping up with god awful 'community' efforts. If you want SC2 to be bigger, watch or pay for events or streams you think are worth it based on the content they provide, don't watch or pay for events or streams that don't. If there's significant viewership then there's significant sponsorship, don't create false economies by propping up commercial ventures for dumb reasons. You good sir will be the fall of many great nations.Compared to the rest of the sports industry, e-sports basically is 5 people in a basement trying to get something going. Whenever you disrespect the sponsors of those 5 people, they begin to think "Well why am I investing my money into something so terrible? It seems the people who play the game don't even like it." Just enjoy the thread bro and be happy that someone is doing something positive in the sc2 community for a change. Im sick of hearing the crying and complaining. | ||

Teams sponsors want profitable returns and no matter how many polite messages they receive it will not have as great an impact as filling in that registration and under "Where did you here about our product?" putting Starcraft Team/Tournament XYZ. They want purchases, bottom line. Very heartfelt idea though. Best of luck with it. What you say isn't entirely accurate or false. Do they want more sales, sure who doesn't. Do they pay a team to use their products and promote their products purely to get more sales? not exactly. If a sponsor just wants more people to stumble on their site and buy something, they can run random ads on any numerous sites related to their product. With the hopes someone clicks on a link and buys something. When a sponsor pays a team to promote their product, via using it, and by mouth saying to use it, they are looking for something a little different. They are looking for brand awareness, and to make their product your preferred product because they sponsor the guy telling you to buy it. So if like the OP you decide to use X product because Y team or player said to. Then you go and send a letter telling them that, that means a great deal to the sponsor. Even if you don't buy their product but you thank them and say you'll recommend their stuff to other people, that means a great deal to them. When sponsors give money to a mouth piece, rather then running a basic ad, they want to build that relationship with their target demographic. So long story short while they do want sales, they don't pay a team to promote their product purely just to see sales stats go up. | ||
