Progaming team OnGameNet Sparkyz and 'Hite' Beer company have signed a 'Naming Rights' contract on 6th April 2009, at 1100 hours, and revealed that the progaming team will be renamed to 'Hite Sparkyz' from 11th April 2009 onwards.

Sparkyz started as the progaming team 'KOR', and was taken over by OnGameNet to be renamed 'OnGameNet Sparkyz'. They have won Sky Proleague Round 3, made it into the playoffs for Shinhank Bank Proleague 2007 and got second in the 2008 Shinhan Bank Proleague.
Hite revealed that the reason for acquiring Sparkyz was that it was in the top 20 of the most watched pro-sports, which includes the Starleague, as well as Proleagues in soccer, baseball, basketball, etc.
According to last year's OSL statistics, an average of 0.496% of all men in their 20s watched it as compared to Professional Baseball (0.213%), K-League (Soccer, 0.153%) and Basketball (0.089%). Comparing the OSL to others, OSL had more audience than baseball by 230%; K-league by 320% and Basketball by 560%.
Hite marketing director Park Jong Sun said that 'E-sports is a major source of sports entertainment that represents Korea which is spreading across the world', and that 'more youths are expecting e-Sports to grow, and hence their brand Hite's 'cool*'ness will be representing that expectation well'.
(* Look at the new logo)
Hite is one of the major representatives in the market who have helped to advance the sports culture in Korea, and has played an active role including being part of selecting national players, intra-national professional golfers, and holding the 'Hite Golf Championship'. It is also active in areas related to professional baseball and basketball, as well as other sports.
In order to attract youths, it has recently signed a contract with 'Big Bang', Korea's greatest icon to be their model, and show Hite's coolness via the 'Cool' Campaign through TV commercials.
It is also planning to further promote its image in Europe, and has said that 'it will do its best to make its marketing a success in Korea'.
Hite not only is involved in the development of Sports culture, but also plays an active role through the Flash365Campaign, helping with the development of Korean underground drainage system, ABC Fire extinguisher system among many others, promoting its good image, and plans to play an active role in the area of e-Sports.
