Global Starcraft2 League (GSL)’s foreign fans showed their appreciation to its sponsor Pepsi in a unique way and are becoming a hot topic.
GSL Foreign fans have been thanking Pepsi through twitter (@Pepsi) since the 9th. Most of the messages were “Thank you for sponsoring”

This also started from a simple comment made by Nick Plott and Dan Stemkoski. During the casting of GSL Code S at 9th of August, the two casters said “Should we say thank you to Pepsi for sponsoring GSL?” and “Show powers of the foreign fans” (These are not exact words from tastelss and artosis during the cast. This is direct translation of what was written.) Everything began from here.
The GSL Foreign fans started to send thank yous to the sponsors, and thousands of twitter mentions have continuously been made since then.
In response to this event, Mr.Chae openly thanked the fans on twitter saying, “wow!!! Thanks all GSL!!! Fans! you are making our sponsor @pepsi happy  THX #GSL”.
Pepsi sponsored the past season 4 of GSL which ended with Lim Jae Duck (NesTea)’s win on 7/30/11, and is continuing remain as GSL’s sponsor during the current season as well.

This just shows fans showing appreciation does not go unnoticed.
Keep Supporting What you love guys!
It's funny how few words from 2 casters caused this. Thank you Tastosis, for creating
an opportunity for fans to show their appreciation.
P.S Coca Cola You reading this?

Hehe, I can totally imagine that being part of Tastetosis's master plan
|
Yayyy Pepsi! Too bad every restaurant around here just serves coke. Oh well, at least I get my Sierra mist from my house.

Very neat. Moves like this will re-affirm to these companies that sponsoring such things isn't a complete waste. Hopefully Tastosis calls out for us to do this for the other companies as well, or hell, just go do it anyway. =)

i hope gsl gets a bigger sponsor deal next time.^^

"I prefer @Pepsi over @coca_cola because @Pepsi sponsors the #GSL !"

The Casting Archon used Mind Control, resulting in great Feedback and a Maelstrom of twittering.

So let's say you go to a 7-11 to buy a coke...
Poll: Which do you buy?Pepsi for $1.40 (184) 64% Coca Cola for $1.30 (102) 36% 286 total votes Your vote: Which do you buy? (Vote): Coca Cola for $1.30
(Vote): Pepsi for $1.40
Please answer honestly, I'm curious to see how big of a difference someone sponsoring the GSL makes to people.

I've always been more of a pepsi man; it tastes sweeter than coke IMO.
