Though when Intel announced a few months ago that they would be dropping their Intel Extreme brand entirely I was afraid that they may reduce sponsorship in esports. IEM etc. | ||

Yeah I think that's it. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2025926/intel-exits-the-desktop-motherboard-business-to-focus-on-new-form-factors.html Article about them pulling out of the market. | ||

Seems strangely unprofessional. Though it could easily be real. | ||

I mean, beyond jd fanboys. Machine, jyp, thorzain, oz, alive, revival, incontrol... Some good, but not big 'names' that draw big crowds. So many losing two of their top known/seen players made them pull out? There's till plenty of stalwart HuK fans  | ||

You should read the point Aike made above. I'm going to wager that's a lot of the reason. I'm not trying to be sensationalist and say "ZOMG IdrA GOT DEM DROPPED". Just passing on what I received today because it's interesting. | ||

Im sorry, but why does everyone feel the need to contact sponsors about this stuff? They QQ about something a player said, gets player to lose a job over one statement (or a series of statements) They QQ about something a player wears, or how they quit, or how they raged. When a employee at Applebees is a douche, i dont go whine to management. I take it as a bad day, and move on. I honestly hate when people go to management/sponsors to put in their 2c. :/ (Good or bad) | ||

For not trying being a sensationalist you sure are doing a good job at doing the opposite. | ||

Is there a threshold for speculation? I believe verification will take place behind closed doors. Given the OP's low post count that seems like the logical course of action. | ||
