This is a huge deal. A big sponsor like this is quite promising.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it feels pretty relevant!
I just want to know how a sponsorship/deal like this ended up happening, haha

CJ using beats is a sign that SC2 is not in a good place...

But Naver sponsoring SSL is pretty damn huge. I definitely see SSL becoming the bigger league now.

If Naver were ever to start penetrating the North American market, I would use their search engine because of this only.

Of course, I would still use Google, but I don't mind giving Google some market competition.

Beats definitely got too much hype, but also receives way too much bashing.
Good sponsorship for CJ.

I started about 2 weeks before this news. It's worth it :D


It's also funny how LINE first got huge in Japan, and Naver is commonly used in Japan (not neatly as much as Google), but japanese people didn't even know that Naver was Korean XD (this was a while ago btw).
