Pro gamer sponsorship

[Freebird]

I play Counter-Strike GO at high competitive level. If i had to choose sponsors i would go with Steelseries and Zowie since they both have been on the Counter-Strike scene since 1.6 and even before.

Who do you play for out of interest? I have put considerable time into CS:GO, only been playing since December but been to a UK LAN not long ago. I wish I played CS all those years ago instead of being a console kid .

It is a shame the UK doesn't really have any really good teams, fm!eSports are probably our best offering and didn't do so hot at Copenhagen games lol.

You're completely forgetting about Dignitas? Haha. (Don't know if any of the team is from the UK< but the organization is at leased based out of the UK) Been a fan since the battlefield 1942 days.

Sorry I missed this first time round! Yeah I know the org is UK based but all of the players are Danish, they are a pretty sick team too.

OT: In terms of getting decent stuff, Origin PC and MSI must be up there tbh.

I have an admittedly totally irrational dislike of MSI. Don't know at all what it is about them, but I'm afraid to buy their products.

I used to build and sell pc's in a retail location.
MSI, Gigabyte, ECS Elite Group, and many others always had issues with motherboards being DOA.
Because of this it is basically Asus Motherboards only for me.

I have just been burned way to many times to trust them again.

Pro gaming isn't something anyone can do at decent level for more than few years, maybe about a decade in some cases. Therefore, whoever would offer the best deal/money, of course...

then you shouldn't be a pro gamer. none of them offer good wages. most pro gamers make minimum wages but get to travel for free. it is a lot like the military. see the world for free and take it for what it is.

this is why you have a quite a few pro gamers that gave up being pro to stream on twitch.tv they make more money on twitch then they ever did being a pro gamer.

very few travel for free, and winning basically just pays for travel in most cases. Twitch is where the money is

500 subscribers = $2.50x500=$1250 a month before other twitch money.

They are lucky if they see that much. each partnership is different but it is more like $1.50-$2.00 for each sub.
This is why some of them use the advertising bots to boost there revenues.
