All the players had no idea this was coming, horrible. | ||

The investors are (part) owners of the team, if they pulled out it means their investment isn't paying off. The sponsors pulling out could have a lot of reasons. Of course investors and sponsors can overlap as well. | ||

IM got their sponsorship because of Nestea and Mvp being who they are, not because the coach is a marketing genius. In the end the team who deserved it the most got the biggest sponsors, so I guess that's cool. The only better sponsored team ( besides kespa ) is EG. Mvp winning IEM Cologne and doing the marketing stuff at Gamescom is probably worth an entire year of whatever marketing Quantic could have done with all of their players. | ||

If it was a sponsor you'd expect them to go out with a bit more of a fight. | ||

Yes the IM coach secured the deal, but like I said It's not because he is a marketing genius but instead because he is able to use Nestea and Mvp to get the sponsors. | ||
