Disclaimer: I do not represent any organisation. I am your average fan. This is not a marketing campaign, it's a private initiative. I am not asking you to be dishonest with sponsors, nor to attempt to artificially inflate the currency of Starcraft eSports, nor do I see this as an alternative to buying products/clicking links/watching ads, just an added bonus. It's a friendly encouragement to extend some gratitude to the sponsors if you actually mean it. Feel free to criticize this is any way you want. This is not a complete list of teams nor sponsors. If you want to help out or spot anything wrong, please let me know.

Hello everyone!

With many people on Reddit contacting the sponsors with only negative feedback, I've decided to make it a point to actively thank them because I genuinely appreciate what they do for eSports. Remember, watching hours and hours of Starcraft is a privilege, not a right. Since there was recently a campaign contacting EG's sponsors after the Stephano controversy I decided to contact a few of them with positive feedback, but there are many other teams and I have listed a few.

The sponsor details are taken from Liquipedia. If you find anything that is wrong or missing, please let me know!

This was the original list I saw on Reddit that made me want to start this thread, but with a positive goal instead. I've kept the original addresses because these are the exact addresses that have received a lot of negative mails.

More is coming in time. If you're missing a team, please help out with the list.

Please note
This is not a comment on the Stephano controversy. I don't take a side. It's not my place. I'm just worried that too much negative feedback will scare away the sponsors who keep eSports alive, and I want to do something positive.

Whichever side you take in whatever controversy, make sure you show appreciation to the people who keep the scene vibrant.

This is the letter I wrote to RaidCall, it's all true and might serve as an inspiration. If you write them, don't lie or copypaste something generic, but if you appreciate what they do, let them know.

+ Show Spoiler +
Thank you for supporting eSports in general and EG in particular! Personally, I never tried RaidCall before I heard a lot of good things about it in EG's Starcraft 2 Master's Cup. I'm using it now and I'm very happy with it. For me, knowing that a company supports the scene I love makes me much more likely to choose their products. I know that there are people who contact you for negative reasons, but please remember that they are a vocal but small group. Speaking for the silent majority, I thank you for sponsoring the things I love and developing a great product!

Best regards,
Jonathan Jonsson

He was just giving EG's sponsors as an example I guess, probably he likes EG a lot and in context with the Stephano thing.

Ontopic, I usually contact sponsors immediately after I learn about them sponsoring a team I like or some big event or are new to the scene. Either it's via something like some social media like Twitter or direct-mail or their customer support.

People/Companies need the feedback, they need to hear directly that they are wanted and welcomed here. Make them feel this way guys.

Go. Now!

I singled out EG because there was recently a campaign contacting their sponsors about the Stephano controversy. It's just an example though. Many companies (like RaidCall) sponsor several teams. If you want to thank Root's and NSHS's sponsors, please do. I'm glad you point it out, because the point of starting this thread was just to make people think "Oh right, I can do that", it's not "Thank EG's sponsors now or else!!!"

You are noble hearted but misguided. Teams sponsors want profitable returns and no matter how many polite messages they receive it will not have as great an impact as filling in that registration and under "Where did you here about our product?" putting Starcraft Team/Tournament XYZ.

They want purchases, bottom line. Very heartfelt idea though. Best of luck with it.

How about we help teams that actually need help? ROOT, NSHS, etc


How about people help teams they like to support? :o


How about we just help everyone and try to grow E-sports? :O


Don't make everything into growing e-Sport. e-Sport will grow with increasing viewer numbers. Contacting sponsors in a positive manner is about making sure they know we appreciate them supporting a brand / player we (as individuals) like. If people start blindly contacting any e-sports sponsor out there it will give them a false level of positive feedback. Growing an e-Sports bubble ftl!

You are noble hearted but misguided. Teams sponsors want profitable returns and no matter how many polite messages they receive it will not have as great an impact as filling in that registration and under "Where did you here about our product?" putting Starcraft Team/Tournament XYZ.

They want purchases, bottom line. Very heartfelt idea though. Best of luck with it.

It can't hurt, it takes very little effort and might have a positive impact even if it's naïve and optimistic. For me, it beats sitting around being frustrated. It's not like I'm going to buy less stuff and ignore that registration form.

sponsors only care about money, emails don't mean shit if you're not buying their products

well, if every pro/manager etc. said that it really really helps giving the sponsors some love, contacting them and writing them E-Mails, why shouldn't we think that way?

if a company receives 4000 emails saying how nice it was they sponsored an event but sees no improvement on their sales then they will stop sponsoring that event or they will continue to invest in flawed investments to their own detriment

I hate this thread with the same vitriol I hate threads telling me why I should pay for MLG and people who email sponsors about shit players said this one time. Stop treating competitive SC2 as if it's 5 people in a basement trying to get something going, it's a multi-million dollar profitable industry that doesn't need propping up with god awful 'community' efforts. If you want SC2 to be bigger, watch or pay for events or streams you think are worth it based on the content they provide, don't watch or pay for events or streams that don't. If there's significant viewership then there's significant sponsorship, don't create false economies by propping up commercial ventures for dumb reasons.
