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.


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?

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?

Don't ask me, I didn't say it. Probably computations that ignore WCS, Blizzcon and IEM .

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.



The new TL question, Where is Bomber? (I've been asking this since December)

At the beginning of Proleague was said that Bomber is the coach of the team, and will not play very much

You would think he would have made more than 2 appearances considering their round 2 performance. They needed him more than ever.

JAGW poached champion form Maru after his OSL win and literally gutted Prime. Wonder who SBENU is gonna gut... they already took Myungsik... maybe it's time for Creator. It's only fair after losing Life. 2 for 1 deal.
