Recruiting international players would maybe help sponsors decision ^^ ( Don't wanna be rude but a full korean team is pretty bad marketing wise except in korea itself )

I'm sure Totalbiscuit is reading and nodding his head in acceptance.

All a sponsor cares about is exposure, unless that sponsor is a SC2 fan and wants his region to be better supported then having some international players isn't going to make a difference.
Startale doesn't get that much exposure as current, the only player that usually is in the limelight is life unless they join a regular league they wont get any consistent exposure.

hes saying foreign sponsors would have more interest in a team with foreign players because foreign demographics tend to be more interested in foreign players o_O

If you want a foreign sponsor, you need to give them a reason to sponsor you. Foreign companies want to make sure that by sponsoring you they will reach their target demo. An all-Korean line-up that doesn't travel much outside Korea and gets little exposure won't help this.
That's what he's trying to say.

ST should just join proleague and be done with it, I know some of their players (Life) probably want to play more foreign tournaments than be bogged down with one but it provides financial stability

They did, they had a coalition with IM last season.

As far as I know, redbull was off their team jersey for the entire proleague/GSL year with IM. So ya, I would say so.

Life might (might) leave Startale if he finds his freedom restricted by Proleague commitments. It's not "just join Proleague" if the players leave when it happens.

Is that something sourceable or just a personal opinion?

Or they can be like any other international team and put some effort into looking for sponsors like every other foreign team in the world.

This seems like a less than optimal way to find a sponsor. It makes me very worried about Startale.
