Then dropping this sponsorship could make sense, considering that SC2 is not in the best form in Korea.

Dammit, that sucks. I hope IM kept old uniform :D.
Also, it's me or 500k $ per year is not really much? Especially considering that part of it (and probably largest one) went to LoL team.

Ever since esports started in korea teams have been begging LG to sponsor them. Even during the absolute height of Brood War they weren't willing to do so. It was not until star 2 that they started investing by sponsoring a few gsls and even hosting some of their own events (to promote their products but still) and on top of that they decided to sponsor IM, and I'm fairly sure that was 100% based on the sc2 squad as a) I'm not even sure whether IM already had a LoL squad prior the sponsorship b) their lol team has pretty much no results and c) on all the pictures from the signing there are only sc2 players. If I were to sponsor a progaming team with that kind of money and then went into renegotiations or even thought about changing my mind I would have also jumped ship when kespa started to nag me about it.
