I think it'd be pretty cool if somehow there was a deal in place to sell some sbenu shoes through the TL store or something. maybe a limited run.


they're kinda expensive -- would you be willing to pay like $80+ for sneakers ?


Is that a lot of money in the US for sneakers? I would in a heartbeat, if they were good quality and cool brand


No that's not expensive for U.S. sneakers, ~$100 seems average. But I suppose I'm not the best source for that since I wear cowboy boots

Cool, hopefully the players that StarTale is going to pick up makes them a contender again and the lineup won't consist of some combination of Leenock, DRG, Curious, Hack, San, and Pet every week

I guess the main problem is that if anything happens to SBENU, that's half the sponsorship money gone from SC2, all gone from BW and some gone from LoL.
Sure, it's nice that he's pumping lots of money into e-sports, but it's also dangerous if it's reliant on SBENU. They aren't quite Red Bull yet, who can afford to have a massive marketing budget, so long term hopefully other people will do the league/competition sponsoring as well.
HOLY CHECK!

This guy is just kicking so much ass these days for the scene. Unbelievable. He's doing what so many of us would love to do if we were the head of a large company with tons of extra cash.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

Mmmh...
Did somebody notice that Life isn't with ST anymore?
Without Life they had a 0-7 in PL. This is more important than a playoff with a different roster imho

Congratulation to ST, this is of course a big news, but I think that DRG can't replace Life (probably nobody can).
Let's see what will happen!


Life is overrated in team leagues. He's still good, but not that good. Only had a 5-4 last round and this round isn't much better with respect to who he faced. Despite all the hype, KT didn't even make the round finals and almost didn't make the playoffs. Not to mention Stats is the clear star of that team. Losing Life obviously hurt ST, but it shouldn't have mattered to the extent of a 0-7. It was Leenock also not playing as much as he should have nor up to his round 1 level where he was doing very well.

If Leenock gets in gear again, DRG picks it up and Bomber decides to give a damn, they should be fine. Probably won't win any rounds, but might make another playoff.

I'm sure someone called this when DRG got signed.

Well done whoever that was.

I called it when it was announced SBENU was sponsoring SSL.

Life's overall score in round 1 wasn't great, but he won the ace matches for ST-y, in round 2 they lost all ace matches.

Atreides hawk emblem, SBENU cannot be bad company, nuff said.

Loving seeing the emblem everywhere in SC2
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Damn, I did not even know this brand before watching Sc2 but seeing their support for esport, if they sell any shoes here in Shanghai I will buy some just cause they deserve it.

Thank you SBENU

How do you figure SBENU is responsible for half the sponsorship in SC2? They are heavily involved, but are they really making up half the Korean SC2 sponsorship?
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

This is so fucking cool. I mean, knowing who Sonic was in 2013/14 -> the guy who had all the remnants of the BW scene on his shoulder and carried like a boss.

Now he supports both scenes in every way possible, that guy is insane!

Go Startale!

This season they sponsor GSL, SSL and now they sponsor StarTale. That's a lot of money.

And by which computations does it make it half the money invested?
