http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/sony-ericsson-sponsorship-tsquared-tlo/

Surprised to have not seen this, but I caught a glimpse of this surfing the MLG site after reading the interview with IdrA and thought I should post it here. I think it's a personal sponsorship, not sure how it works with Team Liquid being sponsor by The Little App Factory, but here is the press release.

We recently introduced Sony Ericsson as a new sponsor of MLG for 2011, and their newest Android smartphone, the Xperia™ PLAY, as the official mobile handset of MLG.

Today, we’re pleased to also announce that Sony Ericsson will be sponsoring two of the biggest names in the worlds of Halo: Reach and StarCraft 2. Tsquared of Instinct and TLO of Team Liquid have both been selected to represent Sony Ericsson and the Xperia™ PLAY during the 2011 Pro Circuit Season. Congratulations to both players!

Be sure to stop by the all-new Sony Ericsson booth at each of the 2011 Pro Circuit Live Competitions to meet the guys and check out the Xperia™ PLAY: the world’s first PlayStation Certified smartphone with the apps you need and the games you want.

So I assume that means that TLO will be at all of the MLG events on Sony's bill? If so, I'm even more hyped for MLG Dallas!
also i think you should be able to combine like 5 archons to make a really really shitty oliver stone film - Keanu_Reaver, bw balance genius

I think he said the opposite in his NASL application.

They probably choose TLO because he's such a nice guy and has a huge fanbase,
definitely someone you would want to represent you because it's so hard to hate him.
And even if he hasn't been successful lately, he has so much talent that he's going to play well again.
Can't wait for his TSL3 match again Nada !

Smart move, TLO is probably one of the - if not the - most loved SC2 players to date. :O

TLO understands showmanship like Boxer and is a great, likeable guy like Nony. He deserves it.

This says even more than some of you might realize. From what I remember of my dabbling in FPS pro news, Tsquared is a massive name. This is essentially a recognition of TLO as the "best" player by Sony Ericsson considering that they're pairing him with Tsquared as a FPS/RTS combo. That's quite the declaration.

Of course, I love TLO and think he's awesome, so I'm cool with that, haha. I certainly wouldn't say he's number one going into this (and I honestly don't think anyone would), but he's definitely a threat to everyone there.

He had to take a step back due to Carpal Tunnel but he said he is doing fine now and is going hard!

Congrats TLO - you have always been a fan (and my) favourite

Go go go SE.TLAF-Liquid'TLO!

You need to do a marketing course - it's got nothing to do with being the best; and has everything to do with who attracts the most attention; usually those 2 seem to coincide, but in this case i don't think anyone would say TLO is "the best" at the moment (he is most certainly a top player) but he has always been a fan favourite that everyone comes out to see.. He gets great exposure, plain and simple..
