Take a harder look. 3rd most played game in PC Bangs. More and more fans showing up to every event, every week. More and more events being broadcasted on TV.
Or, you know, keep your eyes closed if you want.

You mean Special Forces? Or actually SC2? I'm not very up to date with these stats.

More and more events being broadcasted on TV? Really? Seriously?
Where? When? By Whom?
Far as I know SPL and OGN's content are the only content being broadcasted on TV...
I have no idea why you are being hostile, I'm just showing concern for my favorite game.
TL threads/posters just seem to breed hostility constantly.

Does anyone actually have numbers for SC2? I keep hearing SC2 is dead in Korea or that its getting bigger but no one provides the numbers to back it up.

Did he miss the part about it being an Air Liner? Come on guys. It's not the first time they sponsored something. I guess they weren't around or saw all those awesome commercials. The guy's kids love BW as well.

Major left, TRUE and Neige are retiring, don't know about the fourth one

Awesome news for Team 8 glad they finally found a main sponsor 
|
Don't really like the name, reminds me too much of NFL/NHL/etc names.
|
damn. green wings is a really lame name and i always thought 8th team was somehow mysterious and badass
|
Well if nothing else those uniforms look sooooooo much better than the old T8 ones :D
Also it should be nice to see this team actually be able to compete again, having a full sponsor and access to everything they need.

i have a feeling they wouldn't have sponsored at all if it wasn't for lol and its popularity in korea.
Your problem is you're not thinking as a corporation. They don't see SC2 as some unique and delicate flower that needs to bloom on its own. It's part of a generic thing called esports where they see it as all the same thing (and audience). It's not a lot different than when someone sponsors the X Games instead of just skateboarding or BMX.
High tide raises all boats, we should be happy that LoL is popular, as it only raises the profile of SC2 in return.

Looks at the period that KT was trying to figure out a name. Makes this look not so bad. If it were up to me I'd drop the Green, but whatever.
