Outside the box = outside the demographic, which in turn gives poor ROI for the sponsor. You don't have kitchen utensils and table-cloths because the primary eSports demographic is 18-35 year old males.
There are still a ton of sponsors within that demographic that have not been tapped. Nobody needs to be thinking outside the box yet, they need to explore the rest of the box.

At this point i'm leaning toward Brazzers or an ISP.

I can't remember, is Axiom the newest eSF team? Or was it another? They are not eSF members. Azubu are the one you are thinking of. Any reason why teams such as EG, Liquid, ect aren't affiliated with ESF? Is it because they're non-korean?
How would I know?? I just checked esf on LP. :D
Edit: Playing in PL probably means that being an esf team wouldn't be smart for EG-TL.

I've received a metric ton of feedback in the past 12 hours and am already putting a lot of it to good use by auditing and updating our player/team database as we speak - I have to admit that I'm a little embarrassed we had such glaring errors for the two things TB decided to highlight in the video :$ (rest assured, these have since been fixed!)
Despite some of the current holes in our player information (which will be corrected shortly), I can guarantee that our VOD database is solidly up to date - from the beginning, tracking and maintaining VODs in a near-instant fashion has been and always will be my #1 priority with the site.
Some new upgrades/features are coming very, very soon that will largely address many of the enhancements you all are looking for - I hope that we can not only meet but exceed your expectations in this effort to bring together the distributed network of Starcraft II media.
Thanks again for the support, & GO AXIOM!! 8D thanks for supporting axiom, MFDoom. and thanks for being so proactive about updates and changes. that looks like a really neat site (and clean - PLEASE keep the cleanliness of the UI whatever else you do or add). i look forward to using it more as i look for games to watch.

Coca-Cola Norway sponsors GamersLeague.

SC2 Links is great! Perfectly organized...well done...

Awesome! I don't support the players on Axiom as I'm not a fan of theirs at all, but I do like Total Biscuit, and I do like eSports!
Hope this new sponsor is an awesome one and that this benefits eSports a whole bunch ;D
Also, good for SC2links.com. Always for the better when the community helps provide even more for the community!

'Elegant simplicity' is our design motto - this shouldn't be an issue :D
I just posted a teaser shot of the new favorites/logins feature on our twitter @SC2Links - we're still in the process of finalizing the design changes, but we will have this released for you all very, very soon.

I wonder how much money sc2links.com is actually ponying up for Axiom. According to Alexa.com, sc2links is ranked #2,460,183 in the world for web traffic. Compare this to teamliquid.net which is #4,185
My guess is the owner of sc2links is independantly wealthy, and sinking lots of cash into marketing his site.

It is win/win for me because you guys get money and I get badass kitchen knives.

Awesome to hear. Hope Axiom does well, wishing them all the best :D
