Won the first major tournament of 2013 with someone that isn't one of their champions? They also managed to get 5 people into code S and 3 qualified for IEM world championships. Not too bad considering they still won 2 more gsl championships (barely missed a 3rd, fucking Life) after the sponsorship in 2012

They really really need to pick it up in GSTL though -_-

I'm getting tired of saying "this is the season!" only to get all-killed by someone...

Is LG considering pulling out of IM or just the Starcraft division?

Glad to see I'm not the only one bitter about Life stopping Mvp from getting his 5th.

Really hope this doesn't lead to IM losing their title sponsor. They definitely need more exposure, and I'm more than happy to keep posting on LG's facebook or tweet at the or whatever, but that can only sate them for so long. :/

dont know how I feel about this. it's not right, this might work short term or whatever but longterm I dont see how you can keep asking the fans to do your job for you. Eventually LG will want more even if this works. Sounds to me they werent cut out to be in eSports. So be it, they'll lose out.

If this doesn't work try showing them that their competitors 'Samsung' have a starcraft team.. Maybe thet'll rekindle their interest xD

Damn i just bought a Samsung camera... someone post a link to the correct Facebook so I can tell them about it!

I'm beginning to wonder if the whole "own3d.tv situation" and IM players mainly streaming on that platform and not getting paid has anything to do with this whole thread.

hmm time to go and take a picture of my LG monitor and post it on their page. ive won several lans with it over the years and keeps on going like a charm as the best monitor ive ever owned... Granted I got it a long time before they entered esports, but ive loved their stuff for a long time.

every team needs support, but if the larger ones fall, so too will the sponsors be repelled from any other team


Agreed.

Best way to keep teams stable is to make sure the top teams are stable then work yourself towards the lesser known or sponsored teams.

It's much easier because top teams can gain (and keep) momentum better than lesser sponsored teams.

This is the first time in a long time that they have even tried to market LG. If they're struggling to keep their title sponsor then that is their own fault.

They made one commercial with a LG monitor and decided to call it a year. Not good enough.

However, this post is a great start, hope they take it seriously from now on.


MVP, Nestea and Yonghwa did some stuff in the LG booth at IEM Cologne. Not sure if there was an LG booth at Katowice though.
But yeah, I really wouldn't mind some commercials coming out from them.

That is great to hear. But too exclusive to the people who were at IEM Cologne and not to the rest of the fans. Perhaps a short and brief documentary would have been really cool. (And in case there is one, it should be marketed more!)

there just has to be a better way for the players and teams to make money. the fanbase is big enough, the passion is there--it is only a question of what to do with it.


The fanbase complains about paying 5 dollars for months of content.

I would gladly support teams and events with charged content but the majority of 'fans' don't necessarily post on TL and even among them many expect everything for free.

LGIM does better than most korean teams when it comes to marketing, Mvp and Nestea have done commercial things for LG (playing a match for the new monitor) as well as constantly appear in LG ad's for products and LG reports when they win events. They deserve a sponsorship more than most teams.
