As everyone that has watched the new season of GSL code S, have probably noticed the new sponser Monsieur J...

Here's a youtube video that shows the commercial (notice at 54 seconds, the slogan "i Hate You"

My first reaction when i saw the hair products or whatever it is for, it looks like some 80's scam product.. and when I then saw the commercial i couldn't help but LAUGH at that whole "artistic" fail. Then when the "i Hate you" came up, I almost cried laughing...

Are you SERIOUS GOM??

Haha i dunno about this, i prefered some random stuff like Hot6... what do you guys think? =P

Seemed to me like a perfectly fine commercial.

I guess you never saw a k-pop video or a glimpse of korean drama.

Even if you didn`t like it... why the hell has GOM anything to do with it? They take the sponsors they can. Be glad that it helps them support the tournament.

I would say an advertisement works great if it induces people to make forum threads about it.

My first thought was "who the hell is monsieur j" then I saw that they were hair products or whatever and I remembered the crazy hair BW players had sometimes.

I think it's good that they are getting a wide range of investors. It shows that they are indeed sustainable.

Do you people not understand how sponsors work?
It's not there to entertain you, they are giving money to GomTV to promote their product, thus allowing Gom to do all the amazing improvements that they do every single season.

Why isn't Hot6ix sponsoring GSL anymore? I thought they announced at the finals of Season 2 that Hot6ix will sponsor Season 3 and the GSTL.

I believe they still Sponsor GSTL, but it's very likely Monsieur J simply offered more money before the contract with Hot6 was finalized.

It is indeed an extremely goofy commercial. That was some seriously cheesy artsy fail but who cares, anyone that sponsors the GSL is instantly awesome.

They aren't really focusing on selling to foreigners.
I wonder how Koreans view these ads.
To me they seem to blend it pretty well from what I see in their KPop videos, which tend to be pretty damn popular as well.

This sponsor actually seems perfect IMO.

When I first heard Wolf mention it yesterday, I couldn't help but remember Puma's Interview when he won his first NASL Title. The interviewer asked him what he would do with the money and he very honestly answered that because of his skin problem, most of it would probably go into it.
Many gamers and people that spend a lot of time in front of computers or video games in general won't necesseraly have the healthiest life style. It is very smart from such a company to sponsor an event such as GSL since most of the people watching it are men (core target of cosmetics for men ...) and many might have a need for such products (especially in South Korea where appearance is something that matters a lot in daily life).

And as far as the whole "artistic" aspect is concerned, it's a very common thing for french luxury product to do things this way. It's in perfect opposition with common US adds where a voice basically speaks 20 words a second to try to give all sorts of useless details.

Yeah I have no doubt the commercial doesn't strike koreans as lol worthy. Their culture is quite different from ours after all.

I'm pretty sure most Asian people would facepalm hard at Western pseudo-Asian marketing campains as well.
