Another mysterious investor that sponsors a team. I don't see this going well.

These things usually involve negotiations, timing, having banners and stuff drawn up, announcements edited and re-edited to have just the right wording, etc, etc. The all-the-eggs-in-one-basket-issue is definitely a problem, but that's about the only one and even EG had a first sponsor.
All that said, SC2 isn't a good place for startups and it shows.

I mean LYGF has been around, and HTOMario has been satisfied with the team for a while. So, we don't need to worry that much.

The reason why some people are scared is because the sMi, now disbanded, had an unknown investor, which turned out to be a total scam. However, we have seen other startups such as Core Gaming creating a pretty stable scene, so anything goes!

Regardless of how ALL of us feel, we really hope that things work out well! Since LYGF has been pretty stable for a long time, there are some reasons to believe that the fall-out won't happen.

Can't help but sniff the next big scam in a few months. Mysterious investors? This just can't be right. Not in this industry.

why dont you just wait until "very soon" so they announce their sponsor until you call something a big scam

Exactly. Imagine coming to Microsoft and introduce yourself. "Our team name is Love Your Girlfriend... please give us a sponsorship"

Guys they didn't call themselves National Socialist Farting or Full Metal Gracket or whatever, it's not really that bad

Fusilero's example of NiP is great for this
How is this a bad name for a team and how is a message like this going to hinder sponsors

You're right, a team only saying "this is our team name sponsorship pls" won't get shit

But if you have something besides your name which you should have, that's what going to matter and not the team name (unless it's something obscene)

I had 3 different skype chats mocking me with DardLordOlli until someone was kind enough to actually quote it. Goddamnit Wax.
