EPTNow we just have to somehow tie in my other all time fav games of Heroes of Might and Magic III and maybe Nethack too and everything will be completely surreal.
I am sure TotalBiscuit can make it happen, he gots magical powers. =)

what kind of game is planetside 2? is it even competitive? And how long will the game remain relevant? it seems really odd to advertise a different game within SC2 and if the game isn't popular or is irrelevant, does the sponsorship get pulled? I mean, what if 2 years from now no one gives a crap about PS2 and axiom still have it represented in their name, seems kind of funny. Anyways, congrats to them, I guess axiom doesn't care so much as long as they are getting paid right? | ||

Makes perfect sense to use an esports team and brand that reaches so many people. You have to remember that TB has like a million subs on youtube and he promotes axiom and PS2 on his channel so they are reaching more than just the sc2 audience. Axiom is a business not just a team, TB knows what hes doing and SOE must recognise that he can provide them with ROI | ||

You obviously don't know how sports sponsorships work. It isn't about TB doing content, all he needs to do is flash his sponsors' names around and in turn he gets money. Also, what the fuck do you mean "sellout situation"? You mean he should run a full-fledged eSPORTS team out of his own pocket? Don't be ridiculous. | ||

Selling out is the compromising of integrity, morality, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money. I don't think axiom is doing that lol. Some people are just silly. If a company like Sony wants to throw some money at a esports team that is great because everything we love about esports can't function without money. The more money and the bigger names in it shows that people are paying attention and it is growing into a bigger thing. Like fans of esports know it is a real thing, but a sponsorship from Sony shows people who think it is a silly hobby, can see it is a real thing if a big company like Sony puts money into it. Now if Axiom gets free PS4s they are totally selling out because I'll be jealous I don't have one j/k. | ||
