This is very worrisome. All the best to LG-IM but TL goodwill does not keep a business running in the long term.

Maybe next time any of us is going to buy a piece of hardware we should seriously consider LG products first.

Go away, KHAN fans.

Good luck with your sponsors.


League is actually doing splendidly.

I don't think this is to a struggle to keep their title sponsor. I think it's just regular brand exposure.

Hmm... this doesn't sound well.

It's sad that the fanbase isn't enough for sponsors to want to stay in the business. That the fanbase needs to be more vocal.

It's impressing to see the passion of the pro gaming teams and I wish you all the luck. But it sounds like there is too little money in the market compared to actual players and teams and either the fanbase needs to grow or number of pro players teams need to be fewer in order to have balance.

Best of luck to you!

What a cheeky OP.

I have an LG monitor and bought it because it was quite cheap for its perfomance. I guess it wouldn´t hurt anybody, if I told LG that I bought it to be closer to MvP.

Also, people should unite in order to make the world understand the emotions of coach Kang.

Both my Screens are from LG, bought both because of their support of you. Their sponsorship DOES matter. Keep on going, you're doing a great job!

This i s actually easier said than done. For a couple of years now, since i am actively following esports, i am actively buying hardware from companies, that sponsor esports.

For instace: For processors, its comparatively easy, intel has way more exposure and supports way more than AMD does, but what Screen am i supposed to buy? MYself i got 2x LG because of IM, but i might as well have bought BENQ (Grubby), (Team)Acer, etc, etc.

It'd be great if there was a way, whilebuying to let thebrand know WHY i chose to buy their product.

For me, I buy products by looking at specs and prices first (except for a certain company which I more or less boycotted), then consider other factors after. However, it did influence me to buy an LG monitor instead of a Samsung one when the two of them were sold at roughly the same price with similar specs.

League is doing well because the biggest tournament sponsor, riot, gets an insane return of in investment. Riot even gives teams salaries. Blizzard simply do not get the same returns for SC2, because the business model is dated.

Now Dota 2 is going to make things really interesting for sponsors.

this totally sounds like someone is about to lose their sponsor and now wants people to show LG that there are enough potential customors there, so LG wont quit. sounds very desperate

Way ahead of you, coach. I sincerely hope Team IM won't run into financial troubles. I know you must have already lost some income from the whole Own3d ordeal.

On a side note, I hope to see much more of Team IM (and especially Losira) in 2013. <3

* Preemptive warning. This is not a ESF x KESPA post.

I keep a question to myself everytime i see something like this.
Isn´t this model of GOM wrong?
In kespa model, the team is the focus, not the player. Thus more expo to the team (Sponsors).
In GOM you hear a bunch about MVP for example, but not so much about LG-IM.
What if the focus turns to team league instead of individual leagues (Without crash the individual leagues)?
Just my thoughts.

Btw. I hope LG-IM get this well in the end.

^ I agree, I think the GSTL is lacking. It's infrequent, short, and the worst teams only get a couple of matches per season. Proleague can offer regular and relatively frequent exposure no matter how well your team is doing.

I think if LG-IM joins proleague, they will be fine.
