Team StarTale is looking for golobal sponsors over domestic.
Nowdays, Starcraft2 competitions are held in many contries globally, of course in Korea.
So, we are hoping to find sponsors which are active and brilliant for Team StarTale that plays an active in them.
If you are concerned about that, please contact E-mail nclegend@hanmail.net .
Thanks a lot.

The struggle is real. Is Startale struggling as well?
|
If that's how StarTale tries to get sponsors, I'm very concerned about their future.

It is actually kind of funny how few companies do international marketing, considering how many international companies there are.

Zenex wants the thing is one of the greatest moments in TL history
also this is the legit ST.Legend
|
ST.Legend, will StarTale be competing in Proleague next season?
|
Startale wants the thing
also, the one by zenex was let open as an exception to advertising rules. whats gonna happen with this one?
|
I hope u will find some sponsors. If Startale will compete in the next Proleague season u need someone, Life can't carry everybody
|
At this point it looks like we might just have all the original kespa teams+one unified former esf team (ST+MVP+Prime). Several players are weeded out and retire.

Sponsorships are often in the responsibility of the national branch offices, though.

I don't think that this is how a team searches for sponsors. Maybe you should try contacting potentional sponsors directly. Even companies that have not invested in E-Sports yet, but have international stores.

Recruiting international players would maybe help sponsors decision ^^ ( Don't wanna be rude but a full korean team is pretty bad marketing wise except in korea itself )

All a sponsor cares about is exposure, unless that sponsor is a SC2 fan and wants his region to be better supported then having some international players isn't going to make a difference.
Startale doesn't get that much exposure as current, the only player that usually is in the limelight is life unless they join a regular league they wont get any consistent exposure.

If you want a foreign sponsor, you need to give them a reason to sponsor you. Foreign companies want to make sure that by sponsoring you they will reach their target demo. An all-Korean line-up that doesn't travel much outside Korea and gets little exposure won't help this.
That's what he's trying to say.

ST should just join proleague and be done with it, I know some of their players (Life) probably want to play more foreign tournaments than be bogged down with one but it provides financial stability

Life might (might) leave Startale if he finds his freedom restricted by Proleague commitments. It's not "just join Proleague" if the players leave when it happens.

Is that something sourceable or just a personal opinion?

Or they can be like any other international team and put some effort into looking for sponsors like every other foreign team in the world.
|
This seems like a less than optimal way to find a sponsor. It makes me very worried about Startale.

You shouldn't be surprised to see a gaming organization with no money anymore guys. This is esport we are talking about. One day, they'll release some "exciting good news" ahead. The next day, that news will be that the team have learned a lot in the past and it was a good experience for the players but it is time to move on to the "next chapter".

I talk to him occasionally (issues that stem from broken English included) and I get the feeling that he enjoys freedom of travel a great deal more than many players in Korea. If he's not on a top team, I wouldn't be surprised if he considers the ability to go overseas more valuable than playing in PL.

Funny thing is that this begun with sc2. BW and WC3 had alot more money (especially before banking crises 2008). From all EU/US teams, that had wc3 roster before sc2, only EG was able NOT to go a step down. Examples? Fnatic had a full korean roster, mouz had two top10 worldwide players etc
banking crises 2008 hitted pretty hard to wc3, I remember that all of top25 worldwide players were teamless for at least 1month at the same time.

If he's not on a top team, I wouldn't be surprised if he considers the ability to go overseas more valuable than playing in PL. Oversea tournaments are starting to become overrated. With about 10k winnings (for first place) per premier tournament and only about 20 (not including WCS) of those in a year. Unless you're Taeja, it's really hard to get stable earnings from it. Many code B koreans are getting slaughtered by top foreigners. And the KR qualifiers for each tournament is brutal as it is often stacked with code S players. I still feel the smarter thing to do is join a kespa team, participate in proleague, maintain/improve skill level, slowly work your way up and hopefully win a WCS event (or get 2nd place 3 times in a row). And with some of the bigger proleague teams, foreign tournaments is not out of reach given that players qualify.

DIdn't Prime find just recently find a new Sponsor?
And all the other KeSPA teams other than IM who are basically a corpse rotting away in some corner right now seem to be doing reasonable fine!
Also there is this one team, they are all Koreans, but they somehow got foreign sponsorship, they already produce one really funny video for their sponsor! I wish I could tell you to check it out, I just kinda forgot the name, something with math I think!!!
It seems that Korean teams outside of KeSPA can't really do anything in a Korean market, or really find any sponsors unless they got the church backing them

does TB look like a whore to you? I'm kidding of course but that's unfortunetly true. I wish Starcraft could pull the same sponsors it once did but those darn F2P games man...

I know I know, Also I was to stupid to write Prime in there, I meant Prime jsut found a new Sponsor!
So the first part which you addressed was not about Axiom but about Prime, the second part was me trying to be funny and horribly failing ^-^
