eh

I know it isn't much, but a server is a server, also a confirmed 13 slot server (1 extra for SourceTV) We can also provide a Mumble to... 100% sure. You prolly think I am lying but what do i get out of that? 6 people see a lying community and start posting about it.... We lose business so I am not lying on that one.

If you think of it math wise, we save you about $15.00 a month for Mumble/ game server. Not much... Not much at all. Stay around a season, we pay ESEA fees you start saving a bit more (Whole team after 4 months $168.00) Bit more pricey, but still not much really.

Free is free right?

I don't think you're lying...I was referring to the "not much" part. You're right, free is free but most people already have what you are offering and more and the amount of money needed for that doesn't bother people's wallets much.

but its real cool that you want to add a tf2 division to your organization so more power to you.

Who cares if it's "not much"? It's someone trying to support our community and help us grow! Sadly, the season has already started for ESEA so it might be tough to find a team for this season but you never know. I wish you all the luck and thank you for going out of your way to help a team.

thanks for your interest nin2246 in the tf2 community, i'm sure you'll find a team to sponsor by the time next season comes around. good luck!

ESEA did start, but we won't pay league right off the bat, we are small so we can't invest gobs amount of money into a single team. Just bad business right their.

Wasn't calling that, I was calling on myself on how I post 13 minutes apart stating that we can get a mumble after I just said I wasn't sure. Sorry if I gave offense. I still love you <3

I been around for 4 years just small as can be and never amounted into invite level... Always stayed in UGC... Feels bad really bad. And thanks for luck

ohhh no you didn't seem offensive I see what you're saying. And I wasn't trying to discourage you in any way, I guess what I was getting at is that if you want to pick up a high level team to best represent you and your organization you could have competition ya know. And read the last part of my post drake, thanks.

You want a lan team but you can't pay league fees?

.

I don't think he was talking about the ESEA LAN. I've talked to lots of smaller sponsors over the years who just like to have players who LAN together at random LANs (like ATL, pax, fites, GXL or whatever) to promote the sponsor by wearing a tshirt or something.

I will be honest I was told to try to find a LAN team, but maybe that was just the skill level we were looking for.

We will pay league fees also, just not at the start. After 1 season and you are a good team, we will promote you further and further. Like if a open team just starts wiping the floor on everyone and goes all Classic Mix^ on people then yea we will pay some big money. But why would we pay big money(IE: mousepads, mice, headsets ETC...) and have a team die after 6 matches? Not a good business plan from that point of view.

Even if you are just an average open team, 6wins 8loses (Or something like that) We still might be able to get you your league fees and what not. That part is not up to me up to my boss.

Thank you guys for the interest,
Jakob.

Just so you know Jakob, every team at an ESEA-Invite or ESEA-Intermediate level has found a way to take care of their own server, so you need to make a competitive offer in order to acquire that kind of team. An ESEA-Open team like you mentioned in the post above would be a lot more manageable. However, the ones that will "go classic mixup" in open and roll teams probably have taken care of their own server as well.

Mumble servers are even more meaningless because you can typically bum off of someone else's Mumble server if you can't get one of your own. Also, most companies that sell TF2 servers bundle a Mumble server with it already.

Still appreciate your support of TF2 though!

When I think of sponsors I think of higher production and a bigger fan base. Instead of paying for servers or ESEA fees look to legitimize TF2 streams. In the end it's the viewer count that matters.

Alright with a small sponsor you don't have to bum off anyone else with their mumble. Getting a server is cheap I know that; but it is still nice to have a sponsor that will pay for it, it saves you/ your team money. Sure it only saves 15 dollars a month. What can 15 dollars buy? Not much but still money in your pocket and not ours.

added. would like to speak with you

MORE SPONSORS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's good to see.
