The way for e-sports teams to make money is certainly not by taking the game bonus, unless it is to get ti championships, but once a year, so many teams can only get one, so either they do some peripherals to sell, or use fan economy, and the simplest is to pull sponsorship, that is, to advertise for those big brands, sponsorship has become the biggest income of many teams.
However, not all teams seem to be on the path of sponsorship. Each time the team finds a sponsor, QC is withdrawn and "publicly executed" once. QC has not been sponsored for a long time, and the team can rely on the team members to maintain normal maintenance for love power generation. I think a lot of people remember last year's loser interview with majors in Kiev. QC was interviewed when the team's second player, CCNC, was eliminated. At the time, CCNC's speech was deeply moving, saying "We can only thank ourselves because we don't have sponsors."
First, sponsors can't rely on charities to sponsor a team, they have to rely on sponsorship to bring the benefits they need. In general, the biggest benefit is advertising effectiveness. There are two situations that can be satisfied. First, it is necessary to achieve good results and improve visibility. For example, the former OG only sponsored one Red Bull before becoming the overlord, but later not only won several Grand Slam titles, but also won the ti double title, so OG continued to make a name for itself through sponsorship. Of course, sponsors may not choose to sponsor such a well-known team.
There is another type of team that has enough traffic. Even if you are currently underperforming, your sponsors will support you. A more obvious example is the European Union. Team A won the TI championship. All along, we have not been able to give the team a big advantage in terms of sponsorship, but the league has always been the top team in Europe, and the team itself has a lot of fans. So even if it falls into the A-league this year, the sponsorship of the A-team is still one of the most numerous teams in Europe. QC has always been like a wandering team, and it is naturally difficult to pull sponsorship.
