EG gets sponsored by Razer, they say "We will be using their keyboards, mice, and mouse pads" and Astro "We will be using their headsets"........ How is this different? its a good deal for ttesports for sure, but thats not what i am asking. i am asking if its industry standard for sponsors to give so little to a team and be called a sponsor--$500-1000 is a drop in the ocean for a company like ttesports. i always thought that sponsorships are significant monetarily. this is actually surprising to me to hear that its so de minimis. | ||

Hopefully there'll be more large sponsors willing to have a go with Root later on too. They deserve it after all. | ||

Even in pro sports, someone that provides all of your gear for free would be considered a sponsor. Especially if they're continuously providing it. | ||

I'm pretty sure it's worded that way to make sure we all know that DAS is still their keyboard sponsor. ROOT is telling us that the TTE gear they will be using is mouse, mousepad, and headset. Presumably, like most sponsors, not only do they get the gear, but money. They aren't going to put in their announcement "our sponsor is giving us x$ a month". No one does that. ROOT is flashing TTE gear and logos on streams and at tournaments for monetary incentive. This is sponsorship. When Astro sponsored EG, did you think all they were getting from Astro was headsets? | ||
