its too long and requires too much paying attention to be imo a great commercial (ironically why esports struggle as a spectator sport) whats with the boobs as a sidenote? its a little straight forward rather then the girl at the bar shot no? | ||

Maybe I missed something but I agree with this. It makes look like anyone who starts playing all the day becomes a famous and rich progamer, and it's not a good thing. But I like how asus is keen in esports (though predictable). | ||

Are you guys serious lol,if someone is really that dumb to get swayed by a single commercial into thinking esports is all that than he is probably meant to die by choking on their own spit or something comparably retarded. Besides,anyone that actually gets to see this commercial is probably into esports already and understands what it's about and how it works... | ||

I might be wrong though. edit: I guess I saw it during the qualifiers that took place in december. Didn't they appear for everyone back then?

Whole purpose of this commercial is to push the product down your throat no matter if it's any good or anything and you people cheer and want more? Really? Guys in suits that constructed this thing don't give two shits about gamers or games or you. And you guys suck up this BS message. 'Awesome commerial'. Give me a fucking break... | ||

It's a successful commercial. I don't know why do you need to hate on it, it's not like the "guys in suits" are seeking to destroy the industry. Sure, they might not care about games or gamers, but they certainly care about the industry growth and us as the consumers. If they don't care about us the gamers, how can they make a commercial based upon gamer's lifestyle? | ||

The whole point of commercials is that it advertises their product. If we don't see it, we don't buy it. Also it's kinda stupid to say that they don't care about gamers when we are clearly the demographic they are aiming for looking at that commercial. You can say that all they care about is money, though technically wrong, can be said for every advertising agency and business. | ||

Example A: Bad advertising that shows nothing but the product Example B: Awesome Advertising that doesn't include the product at all, however generated lots of hits and lots of chatter at the time it was aired. The cadbury's was is way more effective. There are different ways to reach the same end game of people buying your product. | ||

The point of an advert is not to necessarily show the product, but to create something which will go viral, something that gets people talking about your product.

There are different ways to reach the same end game of people buying your product. you know nothing of advertising lol... It really depends on the product and the target audience what kind of strategy is more effective. Trendy products like cars, clothing etc. tend to have more fun commercials and try to go viral etc. while products which are typically just bought for effectiveness have boring, straight to the point commercials. Washing powders are pretty much always in boring commercials but those are believed to be most effective for selling that kind of product which are mostly bought by females that don't care about it being trendy | ||

First of all, you are so wrong about "These guys in suits", The producer/maker of this video is Alt Tab Production, wich have been founded and managed By Pomf&Thud a very sucessful french cast with the financial support of Asus. Alt Tab prod = Iron Squid organiser. Asus sponsored player ( Moman), casters ( Pomf & Thud) and the whole company who make both of them active (Alt Tab prod) and produce one of the greatest Tournament of the year. Asus paid them to grew esport and after 2 YEARS of helping them grew theyre buisness, they ask for One awsomely make add and you cry ??? So yeah clearly "guys in suits" who doesn't care. ( by the way Pomf & Thud are visible on the ""barcraft" scene ( the two brothers with canadian and black shirt) what a awesome marketting guys suits) You're just someone who cry against the great capital, not even thinking of the fact that without the "evil corporate who want to push something down your throat" eSport never look like it's look today. | ||

They're cool and friendly and clearly do it for the sake of it and enjoy working and living on eSport as much as we enjoy their show and tournament. clearly not "evil corporate" spirit. | ||
