I'm not sure if that really means anything Making new uniforms takes time and money.


Taking off patches takes like 5 minutes a patch if you do it carefully, especially if they were sewn on and not ironed or something.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

For what it's worth: one of their LoL teams changed their IDs from LG-IM to IM recently, but I'm also not sure if that means ANYTHING at all

I wouldn't read much into it. For example, on of their LoL teams played a match just a few minutes ago and they had switched their tags back to LG-IM today, despite having IM as their tag just a couple of days ago. I have no idea what's going on.

Wow, shame on you LG. If you did not want to renew your sponsorship of IM, you should've made that clear from the off. Now, you've benefited from their work, and they've received absolutely nothing. I won't be touching any LG products any time soon, that's for sure, at least until they pay what IM is due.

I hope some other better tech company picks up IM, they are consistently placing so high in various tournaments. I am sure they provide one of the best ROI out of most teams. Something like google would be seriously awesome. IM only team to have a player in season semi finals now.

The fickle nature of sponsorship means a lot of people with LG or Steelseries gear suddenly regret their purchases..right?
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

It is better to make a shit storm on their social media sites than regret to buy their products ( if they are not bad).

Why aren't IM disbanding though with no sponsorship ? Where do they get the money? Do the players have salaries at all?

They have nearly as many sponsors as EG, LG just were giving them the most money. They wont disband for something like this.

Aside from LG they are sponsored by: Coca-Cola, Nvidia, Kingston HyperX, Steelseries just to name a few. I'm sure they'll figure out something.

Is there any update on this? First was still wearing LG on his shirt during the season finals... I hope LG will continue to sponsor IM somehow.

As others have said, they have a lot of other good sponsors. They won't disband.

From what I've gathered in interviews and Khaldor's video from the IM house, most of the players don't earn a salary.

of course, Mvp, Nestea, and quite some other well known IM players are getting a salary, but not everyone, or even a majority

The funds are going towards paying the transports for players, the house etc. But also paying off the debt they incurred during the first years of sc2. Hirai personally payed for stuff and is still in debt, afaik.
