I've received a metric ton of feedback in the past 12 hours and am already putting a lot of it to good use by auditing and updating our player/team database as we speak - I have to admit that I'm a little embarrassed we had such glaring errors for the two things TB decided to highlight in the video :$ (rest assured, these have since been fixed!) Despite some of the current holes in our player information (which will be corrected shortly), I can guarantee that our VOD database is solidly up to date - from the beginning, tracking and maintaining VODs in a near-instant fashion has been and always will be my #1 priority with the site. Some new upgrades/features are coming very, very soon that will largely address many of the enhancements you all are looking for - I hope that we can not only meet but exceed your expectations in this effort to bring together the distributed network of Starcraft II media. Thanks again for the support, & GO AXIOM!! 8D | ||

It feels to me that axiom is loosing hype traction among some of the fans (me). This makes no logical sense. Why would we announce a smaller sponsor before a bigger sponsor? Because if we didn't, the smaller sponsor would be overshadowed by the larger one. Also the sponsorship for SC2links contractually begins before the larger one. Simple logic. | ||

Outside the box = outside the demographic, which in turn gives poor ROI for the sponsor. You don't have kitchen utensils and table-cloths because the primary eSports demographic is 18-35 year old males. There are still a ton of sponsors within that demographic that have not been tapped. Nobody needs to be thinking outside the box yet, they need to explore the rest of the box. | ||

I'm thinking the corporate sponsor will be a surprise. Someone with a vested interest in the target demographic, but who can be wooed by TB's smooth English voice. Someone that really, really understands the style needed for a tophat and monocle. + Show Spoiler + Apple. It's gotta be. And I don't think they're involved in eSports. | ||
