HELL YEAH!
edit: Ambiguous wording. Is this a temporary sponsorship or are they like permanently on the team now. Because it says "Join for blizzcon" and "thrilled to work with them for this event" and such.

So the announcement implies that this sponsorship is for BlizzCon specifically, so I assume it's not a long term commitment. Still, very cool of Ballistix.

You are correct, I assumed it was a straight pick up from the tweet but it does specify on the website that it's for the specific dates.

Ballistix just suddenly became the best SC2 team in an instant. Not even Splyce has 3 people at Blizzcon.

Ballistix also resigned their former HotS team L5 only for Blizzcon, so this is more like sponsors with benefits than a longterm relationship.

I thought JinAir was thinking of doing the move for INno. ( I heard that after SSL S1 finals )

Thank you Ballistix for supporting sc2.

No teamless players at blizzcon this year then
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

This is cool. I wonder what Ballistix actually does for the players though, since Blizzard already covers the players' costs at Blizzcon.

Gives them money in exchange for their name being said when the players are introduced.

Yeah of course. I'm wondering if they do anything more than that, since they label themselves as a 'team' rather than 'sponsor'. Maybe not though.

I think they are labeled a team because team names are mentioned while sponsor names probably wouldn't, at least if the money isn't going to Blizzard.

That's awfully generous, considering Blizzard pays for flights and hotel...

Bleh, this reminds me of the Halo scene a few years ago where orgs would pick up and drop teams just for big tournaments.

Hey Diamond! Thanks for helping organize this for these players. The more help and support they get, the more they can focus on the tournament at hand. Hoping for top 3 placings for the 3 Ballistix players! (Innovation as champion, of course XD)

Anything further to add? Blizzard pays for flight and hotel for all qualified players. It's not like Blizz charges Splyce for hotel costs "because Splyce can afford to pay for it".

Any level of support from an organization with resources and reputation, like Ballistix > No support.

Classic isn't at the WCS Global Finals, so this temporary sponsorship wouldn't have any value in regards to him.
