Yes. That's why many companies have charity programs, outreach programs, and strive so hard to improve their image. Brand equity is very important for large corporations. The profit gained from it is difficult to quantify and is usually not as direct as other means of improving sales, but it does make a big impact over a long period of time.

STX for example had their team budget under "charity" rather than "marketing".

Very happy for T8. It's gonna be hard not to call them T8 anymore.

Woohoo! T8, ESG, HGD all with sponsors!

FUCK YES!
Bring back my Jaedong to me!

lol at the people wanting Jaedong to be "on a real team". Like his time on EG hasn't shown that he is one of the best ZvT and arguably the best ZvZ players in the game. I sure do want him to leave the team with one of, if not THE best coaches on the entire planet. I am also sick and tired of seeing him at European and American events, if I got to meet The Tyrant at MLG Columbus I think I would just vomit from disgust.
I am quite happy for Team 8 though. I was worried about their future, and along with the STX rumors proleague was starting to sound shaky. With this I think we can expect proleague to be around for quite some time which is great for SC2 and esports!

Man, it would have been kinda great to see Jaedong play under Coach Park, but with the speculation that EG-TL might not even return next season I'm just happy that I'll continue to see JD playing in Proleague.

What if it's that CoCa connection?

They might as well...re-design the UI so that the terran air units are customized with the korean air logo on it somewhere.

Huh. I remember waiting with baited breath, day after day starting from the moment they announced the formation of Team 8, back in October 2011, hoping that every time I clicked on Fomos the new headlines would be "Team 8 has a new sponsor!" And I was always disappointed.
Now, two years later, it's finally happened, and I feel almost nothing. It's still a great thing to happen, so I don't want to say "too little too late," but that's just kind of how it seems to me.

Title should've been
"Team 8 disbanding"
and the post should've opened
"and reforming as the Green Wings with new sponsor Jinair!"
