According to inven the Team MVP has found an additional sponsor to Hot6ix. A chicken take-out restaurant franchise called Chickenmaru seems to sponsor them now. Chickenmaru Website.
The representative of Chickenmaru, Lee Hyun Woo, said that 'he is keen to support MVP and the whole esport culture'.

Wow great news. First S2SL now MVP. Come on let's get some sponsors for Startale and Prime! :<
|
This is really cool, team MVP is doing really good

Pretty good for the scene that more and more sponsors are investing in StarCraft. Chicken HYPE

the statement would be more appropriate if KeeN were still there

MVP sponsored by energy drinks and now fried chicken.
MVP are living the life right now.

Chicken Maru, haha. I would love to see Chicken Maru versus Chicken Life.
|
Maru will crush Chickenmaru in proleague. Jinair fighting!
Good news for MVP though, i'll never cheer for them while Marineking is on the roster after the incident, but i'm glad to see the scene being supported financially. Hopefully Startale and Prime can make some money through sponsorship too and we can have an 8 team proleague instead of a 6 team and 2 jobber team proleague
|
Chicken Maru is delicious. Go MVP!
|
|
Makes perfect sense since every time I see Korean SC players treat each other to food it's Chicken.
|
Is this a big company in Korea? Congratulations MVP! Have to admit I giggled a little at 'Chickenmaru'.
|
I want to see Aphrodite play in SPL

korean-style fried chicken really is quite a treat
|
Nice, this makes me hungry for some T_T
Congrats to both parties!
|
There's probably more meat on the poultry variety of them than the terran player variety of them anyway.
|
Thank goodness MKP was cleared of all wrongdoing just in the nick of time, otherwise MVP might have had a lot of trouble getting this sponsorship.
Whew.

Doubt it though, with the way teams eat chicken that'll probably be a loss in profit for them

Oh give it a rest. There's another thread for whining about MKP...
OT: Good news that sponsors are not being put off by the pitchfork wielding 'call the sponsors' weirdo's. Let's hope it continues. The more money the better!

Does sonic own this company too?

Chickenmaru is an absolutely hilarious sponsor name. Good for MVP!
|
MVP just played in a SHOUTcraft Clan War where they debuted a Zerg player named Quiet. A few hours later, they debut this sponsor. I therefore move that we declare Quiet to be nicknamed the Chicken Zerg.

can we get pictures of the fried chicken im hungry!

Didn't IM have a chicken chain sponsor and dress like a McDonalds staff back then?
|
Since this is presumably a sponsor for the whole MVP organization, this also means they're sponsoring MVP's two Dota teams. Now, one of those teams is already named after a sponsor - MVP HOT6. I would love it if this sponsorship means that Korea's best Dota squad changes its name from MVP Phoenix to MVP Chickenmaru.
|
Scared version of the boss Maru? I'm up for it!
|
had they sponsored Prime, it would have been so perfect
|
How much money does a company usually sponsor with? Is this known or are we totally in the dark.
|
I just suddenly wanted some chicken nuggets....

It honestly depends on what they wrote up in the contract. Some sponsors don't provide monetary support just gear, some provide both, and some only a small or large amount of money.
|
I hope they're supplying chicken.

BTW, just for your information, "Maru" is an archaic Korean word which stands for top or high ground.
Anyway, hope that brings them good publicity.

oGs used to have a chicken place called "Mom's Touch" or something similar if I remember right. I don't remember what sponsor made IM dress like McDonald's staff but I think it was a clothing company

MARU VS CHICKENMARU HYPEEE!!! Maru will crush the evil Chickenmaru!!! But seriously though. This is awesome news!^^ I just worry for startale though. Still no sponsors afaik. :'(

It's so goooooood they sell cajun-spiced fries. Irrelevant but one of the best chicken burger places if you're looking for a franchise in KR

It's Korean so even without tasting it, it's surely better than KFC.
|
if ur english, the last time a chicken company bought into a team they dropped out of the premier league . . . just sayin! I now dont support any football because of it. Ruined!
|
Top 3 sponsor name, for sure.
|
hahaha i remember back in the day when Prime was in their prime and they had SABASABA CHICKEN patches in their jackets/jerseys
|
when i read this i only read with half my brain and though chickenmaru had joined mvp, and i was really excited for a player named chickenmaru
|
FRIED CHICKEN HYPE! :D

Fried chicken hype! Take that sponsorship and practice games! Your showing at clan wars was very pathetic.

That's great. And the name makes it even greater.

Better than kfc? You honestly can't compare korean fried chicken with any of American fast food chicken. Korean fried chicken is the best.

Damn, man. Choya is one evil magician.

Is there someone who can tell me how to delete comment? I tried to modify the last one, but somehow I screwed it and the new one is posted.

Yup.
Of course there is an homonym which means 'wooden floor', but in this case, you`re right.

Poor chickens. 
Well, at least they are supporting something I like so it's not all bad.
|
No wonder KeSPA and Blizzard want MKP's match fixing kept quiet...
|
They absolutely need to get Maru on their team now !! That would be the ultimate promotion for them :D

In these uses (Like Jin Air's Maru and Chickenmaru), it means "Top" rather than "floor"

That does make a lot more sense. Especially concerning the player. I can somewhat see a restaurant calling themselves "chicken floor" but a player calling himself "wooden floor" is just odd. :p

All we need is now is for Chickenmaru to give Maru an individual sponsorship ^_^

Awesome news for the team! Some more life in the scene!!

If i remember correctly Maru claimed in an interview that he didn't know what to name himself and a guy sitting next to him at the PC bang suggested maru

The fastest chicken in the world!

Totally thought this was a personal sponsorship at first and this was the comeback announcement of MVP :c

Piri piri chicken? More like Maru maru chicken.

Oh wow, Maru (the player) has a huge job trying to get himself anywhere near the top of that image result... No beating a cat! :D
