Countless. Ask the team members.

eg management really ontop of their game. unlike certain other na teams that just fell out of the grid.
|
EG is getting one sponsor per week, it's stunning.
|
Glad to see EG picking up another sponsor!
Haven't they worked with Jinx in the past? I vaguely recall ordering my eg hoodie from them.
Edit: EGTL shirts, please  ?

lol that monopoly money.
Who has more sponsors, EG or LG-IM? o.0

It's a nice move for EG.
I know there are as many opinions as assholes in this world, but I think EG needs to step up their game when it comes to clothing design. TL has some nice, classic looking clothes. Even the ROOT tees are ok. I wouldn't be caught dead in anything EG.

That isn't monopoly money, just what it looks like when you get to camp the gold expansion all game long.

Awesome stuff! The battle vs IM and EG continues ! =)
The most successful team gaming wise vs the most successful business wise
Love em both! Everybody should be taking notes from them!
|
|

I they cool make a real jacket and not an ugly hoodie this would be great !
|
Gratz!
Poor ThorZaiN will have to memorize yet another sponsor to do his shoutouts on Inside the Game. *wink* 
|
Good. Now get EGTL some decent proleague uniform.
|
But EG aren't jinxed, they're cursed. D:
|
It is great to see EG picking up more sponsors and this should also give them a better hub for selling Team Merch. Split Reason are cool, but I think Jinx is better.

I can't tell you how many times I had to say nothing when people asked me "when can I buy a new jersey?" It's nice to be able to say SOON! Jinx makes awesome stuff at a high quality. Happy to be back with em.
As for my shirt it is the best way to support me to date. I will raffle off/give away shirts but also through my Facebook page and twitter raffle off coaching / hours of games with me to those that buy the shirt on a regular basis. I am excited to work on this! Shirt looks awesome btw

one day, they have to increase the runtime of a typical SotG episode because naming all their sponsors takes 15 minutes...

haha, I read that as "you gotta buy a shirt at least once a week over the course of a month to enter the raffle"
Anyways, a while ago I got a coupon for J!NX from a LoL site, but didn't care to use it because I did not like what they offered for LoL. Maybe I'll grab some EG stuff instead once it gets out
gratz on yet another (probably rather small) sponsorship!

Good for EG but kinda meh that they are the only ones who gets continued new sponsors ^^
TL gets a newsponsor like half a year or something lol, but yeah poor players who has to remember SO MUCH for their shout outs haha
|
I can't wait to see EG step up to the proleague stage with pimped out jerseys.
|
Honestly I'm not happy that EG got almost all the sponsor , many other teams with some talented player would need a little more money...and sponsor , this would support esport grow only more .
After some year you will get only 2-3 team outside Korea who got money and can pay pro gamer salary .
But still I'm glad that a team in sc2 got a new sponsor , just hope you guy understand my post .

Are EG players going to use the new shirts at dreamhack ?

Instead of a track jacket they should have something like the CJ Cardigan made
so fashion yo
|
Looking forward for the designs
I've been thinking about getting a hoodie from an SC2 team but I really didn't like the liquid ones, hopefully the EG ones will be pretty and not overcharged

HELL YEAH! Now I absolutely have to win this photoshop contest... for an EG Jersey! For eSPORTS! 'MUUUURRRICA!
This makes me so happy, I love Jinx and I love EG and the two of them together = very happy me.
Also tempts me to spend more dollars for eSports at Jinx. :-D
|
Dirty money? Meh, who cares. It doesnt matter how much money EG makes, North American esports will never be mainstream, and being a pro gamer will never be a realistic option for anyone. I hope they make a really nice, high quality material, zipper hoodie.
