I don't think they sponsor people for the 500 shirts they want to sell at Evo. They sponsor players so that some of the 90k+ people watching on the internet will go to their website while feeling hype from the tournament the has Brokentier's name plastered all over it. I don't think they needed to sign as many guys as they did, but I think hitching their wagon to Yipes' name was a great marketing strategy. Do they need his permission to sell his shirts? Nope. Will they sell more of his shirts when people actively associate Yipes with the company producing said shirts? I don't think there's any doubt.

Preciously, but it begs the equation:

Is Shirt Sales - Yipes' sponsorship costs > Shirt Sales ?

I would guess they could make more money in the long run without Yipes. If someone likes a shirt, they are going to buy it either way, and they will be sponsored on streams either way if they are contributing to pot winnings. If the difference is very small, I guess it is just considered charity contributions to the community.

It may not matter one way or another, Welt, but Yipes is fucking golden right now and just through my own word of mouth and linking people to the EVO stream while Yipes was doing top 8 marvel commentary, I was able to get about 20 of my friends hooked on what they were seeing; 7 of which started hitting up the sponsor sites to see what the fuck they were selling and making.

It can't cost that much to keep a guy like Yipes in your stable. The dude is golden; hilarious, great mic skills, a great player, and makes people want to root for him. It was loud as shit in my house in top 32 on saturday when Yipes was finally on stream and won his first streamed match.

I hear ya, but they for sure are losing money on Clock/Viscant/whoever else is on there.

**Lucavi** · 2012-07-10 19:47

No doubt there.

I don't mean to dickride too hard, but Yipes just has something. His commentary is just so hilarious. Half the shit he says gets accepted into lexicon in the community, and for good reason. I fucking lost it when he started calling Modok's wall the "sloman shield" during the matches. I'm pretty sure he coined Doom's lvl 3 "the blender" as well. If the FGC thing doesn't work out, the dude needs to be on TV or something as a host or color commentator. He has too much charisma and talent not to get big in some way.

Lofty goal.

If I do go through with taking the trip out there one year, I may need to dig this out.

Oh God I can't believe I'm posting this here....

Spoiler: show

Late to this but having a trust fund doesn't mean shit, I have one and still ask people for gas money if they're riding with me or try and get a free food lol.

Edit: Next year I'll see you BG peeps at EVO, a friend gets free rooms at caesers palace so I'm gonna go with him next year!

**Weltall** · 2012-07-10 20:45

BG lobby?! make room

**Indalecia** · 2012-07-10 20:49

Yea it is. Hell if it won't be fun doing it however. Aurara is that golden child of AE I believe, he just needs proper training and to pick and stick to a main character. He learns exceptionally fast in that game as well. Good starting point imo.

For myself, I just need to stop talking shit and lock myself in the hyperbolic for marvel and ill be fine.

Calli has honestly been the only person seriously representing BG as of late, and I want to change that up in the FGC.

**Weltall** · 2012-07-10 21:32

Rara reset your damn modem...you have yellow bar for first time ever and its worse than playing against Florida ppl with you tonight. Normals don't even work.

**Aurara** · 2012-07-10 21:53

**Sho** · 2012-07-10 22:08

**Viq** · 2012-07-10 22:10

**Sho** · 2012-07-10 22:14
