I'm pretty sure being pro-"social justice" is being perceived as a good thing by most people. "SJW" really is the most idiotic slur I've ever encountered. Everytime someone "accuses" me of being a SJW, all I can do is go: "Yea, ok. And?" | ||

Probably by bitter nerds who have neither a GF nor success in Starcraft. While on the first look it appears questionable, if a Maddelisk workout video helps the scene, it should be clear that a vibrant scene depends on diversity. Interest in players drives esports. Female players can also help to attract a female audience with the statement that video games are not just for boys. It is easy to complain in a TL thread about SJW. It is not as easy to practice SC2 almost every day and earn a continuous personal sponsorship. | ||

Big businesses may sometimes be born the way you describe but so many more fail because they took too many risks that didn't pay off. Remember how NASL was millions in debt? That is not comparable I think. NASL held tournaments. XMG only sponsors players and events. Looking at product advertising between matches, I often feel they are displaced. Almost no gamer is right now in need of a new headset, notebook, soundcard, computer or something. And the message of the commercials are questionable anyway, as if this XYZ brand now really has the product which gives you an advantage over your opponent (which would defy the spirit of esports anyway.) But talking from a pure business's point of view: Asus or Red Bull now sponsor some events for long enough, that they appear as a part of it. While I consider the "RoG" brand by Asus marketing BS, it begins to appear credible. Do BenQ or Eizo really make better monitors for the money than other brands? I don't believe that. But they are visible in the scene. I think, the Starcraft scene is unique. The passion required to play it online without quitting while in bronze. The willingness to accept losses. The devotion to watch tournaments live even if they are held at an inconvenient time. | ||

Well to be fair if you look at the message of the commercials of regular sports brands (for sport shoes, equipment, etc) it is the same "this product will make you better" BS, so XMG's advertising makes sense to me. | ||

All because of XMG supporting StarCraft. Thank you, people, for focusing on a smaller community (with higher percentage of successful people with money though Kappa). -- Cheers, jm User was warned for this post | ||
