| Hmm, well this isnt as bad as before. I believe that they will reform! But if they dont, where will Liquid' go? Where will they live for the GSTL? |

I think you mean more sponsors are willing to sponsor LoL teams due to the insane numbers in viewership (80k-100k+) for large tournaments, and that SC2 can only pull 20% of those numbers. Also, SC2 isn't that popular in korea even versus Brood War. It makes sense for sponsors to spend some money on sponsoring team(s) where the sport pulls in astronomical numbers for an eSport. |

no, the team they decided to sponsor just happens to be one of the biggest. Ogs has simply not been posting results imo. I think they should of created a stronger partnership with liquid but what the hell do i know lol |

Very sad news to hear... Was one of my favorite teams with a once stacked line up.
Will still support the players where ever they may go.

Not of late. Startale has some sick sponsors, Mvp has some sick sponsors, IM is starting to get some sick sponsors, FXO has quite a bit of money, TSL has been expanding into bigger team houses. Zenex, NShoseo, oGs, and Prime seem to be the only ones struggling atm. |

this has been coming for a long time. more and more players left the team, which is never a good sign.
really hurts my heart, but i think the players will find a new home. expect the big foreiner teams to jump on the good ogs players. the not so good ones will probably have a hard time though. ;( |

League gets 200k+ concurrent for big events and Sc2 gets around 60-80k for big events. I think sponsors saw how big The Champions was and they want to jump on board. |

NSHoSeo is backed by a university, as far as I know they're not having any problems.
Prime seems to be doing well being it own sponsor (PRIMEZZANG)
EDIT: Oh and ZeNEX recently partnered with Legion and now shares their sponsors like ImgurLast edit: 2012-05-12 09:25:15 |

| That's pretty sad. At least eSF teams have agreed not to sign former oGs players, that's pretty nice of them to give them a chance to rebuild. |
