I’m basically curious how did etf2l did not managed to get new sponsors in more than 6 seasons. I’m just following some articles and etc and I see that companies like thermaltake just give stuff away for free and maybe its me being naive but few keyboards and headsets for like +440 team legue would not be problem for them. These are few companies that I noticed heavily supports espors:
Thermaltake
Spire
CoolerMaster
roccat
and much more small companies that could throw a mousepad or two
Also you can try squeezing valve for some posters or t shirts as prize, nothing valuable but great motivation to continue playing.
Also there should be someone that studies business communication and could contribute by finding sponsors + good plus in their CV.
Sponsors just don’t see any benefits in taking a TF2 league or team anymore as online and LAN winnings don’t cut it anymore. I remember in 2008 when almost every team in div1 and invite had a sponsor that could send them to LAN. It’s a good thing that there are prizes in leagues such as etf2l, but I don’t think orgs give a damn about tf2 overall.
Get MLG to sponsor tf2!

Companies like ss, razer, roccat and etc are competitors, so they won’t sponsor same project together. ^_^
Most sponsors will have a confliction of interest if they do the same thing so won’t sponser if say steel series does. Plus i really don’t think there is that much money to be made from sponsoring a tf2 team or league – unless etf2l introduce somthing like after every post made you must view a 5 second advertisement for double glasing.
We are certainly trying, we’ve listed and contacted possible sponsors that would not conflict with the current ones, and people like Jimmybreeze, d2m, Amonsilas and others have tried their best in the past. Unfortunately it’s just not as easy as it seems.
There should be a better ad system coming up soon though (just needs to be uploaded to the site).
Steelseries and MULTIPLAY have been loyal sponsors for the past seasons.
Nevertheless, we asked different companies if they would sponsor ETF2L but most of the times it is “We or them” so it is unlikely that we will get other hardware prizes than the ones from steelseries.
The only improvement I could image would be $$ prizes but you can probably imagine how hard it is to get companies to throw in cash.
Personally with my very small experience with Pixel Pickup, Multiplay are a fantastic sponsor. Other companies were very, very hesitant and wanted a lot in return. Multiplay on the other hand came to us and were like “hey, we like what you’re doing and we want to help, what do you need?”. The type of companies who’d throw big money at TF2, are the type who will probably turn around in 6 months time and drop you in the shit.
