The abbreviation we should use is JA not GW. We usually use the sponsor name, not the team name. See CJ sans Entus, KT sans Rolster, STX sans Soul, etc.

Speak for yourself. Surely some people would think about buffalo wings too. As for myself? I think of the Detroit Red Wings and guess what? There are a lot of sports teams that use Wings. Nothing wrong with it.

If they use GW instead of JA, I'm going to be thinking George Washington every time I see one of their names >_>

Would've been 100x more awesome if Redbull subsponsored them before this happened heh.

For 2 years Kespa has been trying to get Korean Air to sponsor their 8th team. Finally they take the plunge... thanks to LoL I guess.

If you take away all the RPGs, then you have:
1. League of Legends
2. Sudden Attack
3. Fifa Online 3
4. BW
5. Warcraft 3
6. Some kind of Monopoly game
7. Special Force
8. SC2.

They do compete for as long as people spend time playing them. Dominant portion of esports interest comes from interest in the game itself.
By the way, is that Warcraft 3 at #8? Pretty cool to see people still playing that.

I think as soon as it overtakes 6 and 7 that would look pretty good, but thats just me.

According to that chart, SC2 WERE higher than Special Force last time, and that Monopoly game got a big jump.
So technically it ranked 6 last time.

I was saying the idea of dropping "Green", with the name only as "Wings" itself.
