Rifkin and ZG on the back with the words:

"We've got your back!"

There simply must be a pun in there somewhere.

If Rifkin is designing the jersey there is 0% it won't have a pun or something silly on it

Hooray for the good news! I always loved tuning in to Rifkin and ZG being goofy (in addition to their awesome casting) when I needed some cheering up. Now they're being even more awesome by helping to keep a strong player in the scene. Way to go guys <3

plus, i have no idea what country Rifkin is from because he never includes that in any BTTV stuff, ever.

Neckbeards and autists can make enough money out of sc2 to sponsor a player, you know sc2 is alive.

As critical as I often tend to be with most everything in life (Especially anything SC2 related), this is some very very uplifting news! It brought a smile to my face!

Siiiiicckk! I've been really rooting for a lot of the Zergs lately (well, and for all of SC's history but anywaaay...) and ByuL is absolutely one of them, love seeing him play and a sponsorship from some cool nerds is great.

Those thinkings we're making any ROI on this are mistaken. This is a passion project. It's just plain cool. Our return would be an awesome team picking him up long-term.

this is inspiring.. there might not be any direct ROI persay, but doesn't this make all of us want to support BTTV even more? when we know how much they support the scene and players that we all love, it sure makes me want to throw them some more dollars. and it inspires others to do the same in the future, this kind of stuff can be exponential. props to ZG and Rif holding it dooown.

Right now, StarCraft is a pretty heavy weight. Rifkin and ZG are basically lifting the scene with TB's erect penis also helping.
