MMA also doesn't carry the marketing potential that stephano does.



nearly choked reading that.

are you serious?


Are you serious?

Do you even have any objective data backing up the claim that mma has more marketing potential than Stephano?
Because if you look at language spoken, interviews, exposure in big tournaments, number of people following their stream or their twitter, money made in the last year, Stephano is very far ahead.

Plus, the recent debacle might detract a lot of fans from MMA too.

Well stephano is "the great foreign hope" (god i hate that term) and if what Jessica said about him is true (the whole slave note stuff) I doubt people still accept him as "the son of boxer" that gave him a giant marketing and popularity boost to begin with.

no offense, but isn´t axiom being run by totalbiscuit? Does he seriously have the money to compete with EG for MMA? I can see Ryung signing because he´s really tight with Crank but MMA sounds a bit more interested in money at this point.


No. No it's not. Axiom is run by Genna Bain. Just because she happens to be married to TB, does not mean he is running the team. It's her team. Keep up with the current. TB and Husky are sponsors.

Also, I agree. MMA is about the money. He was looking for what, around $4k a month salary?

4k a month? that's a pretty high demand for somebody who didn't impress for months.

Comes to like 180k a year which is...

45 months in a year? Slayers disbanded, not time itself.

EG isn't dumb like the other teams where the only money they make is through achievements. EG is one of the only teams that actually make a ton of money off of marketing alone. Hence, this where they get there money.

are you serious?


With the market the way it is, foreign players will always have more marketing power compared to Koreans who don't speak english. This is common sense no? Why do you think violet (who speaks english and can interact with the community) is valued more than taeja (who is a beast among men)?

Where does it say that Violet is more valued than Taeja? This is absolute nonsense.


I forget which show but Razer's sponsor rep discussed why he thought violet was more valuable than taeja when it came to sponsorships. If someone can help me out and remind us which show this was from (it was recent.)


If people don't think Violet is more valuable then Taeja some people got to open there eyes to the real world. Most sponsors are from the United States, so of course Violet would be more marketable then Taeja.. Violet speaks english he presents himself really well and he is pretty good.

Just because you are better then so and so, doesn't mean they are more valuable in marketing.
