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.

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!!!"

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. 우정호 KT_VIOLET 1988 - 2012 While we are postponing, life speeds by

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!

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. It can't hurt, it takes very little effort and might have a positive impact even if it's naïve and optimistic.

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 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

Fandango Profile Joined October 2011 291 Posts #20 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.
