why are casters forced to say this?

bruh i cannot take this esport seriously when they are forced to also call the sponsors of the team, i get that its about revenue and sponsorship but I cannot take this seriously when they say "VISA KRU", like in csgo teams showed their sponsor names on HUD but the casters were never forced to call it

just kinda kills the experience

That's how sponsors work when things are not that popular .

You had me in first half .

it's part of the sponsorship deal no?

I mean it's either that or riot funding the whole shit by themselves

yes they do feel a bit out of sorts when they include sponsored terms, but the problem is riot is a small indie company 🤡, which barely makes a living for itself if they didn't do sponsored endorsments they'll go bankrupt sadly 😔

Redbull clutch is really cool imo. But anything else is hella cringe.

they do it in VCT also lmao

I have never once met a real person that actually cares about something like this.
Like this at a maximum is an issue for 1 in like 40 people and that is the absolute highest I can go. They'll just get used to it and not care after like 10 minutes, the only way their life wouldn't go on unaltered because of this is if they decided to be against it and now they just dislike it, worst part is when people stop hearing it they legit don't even notice it went away or they do and now don't care so they move on.

If the team was just VISAKRÜ no spaces that was just the name of the team, nobody would bat an eye and I have proof! The proof is that every single other team has a name, really sophisticated statistics I had to pull out right here.
I'm still hopeful that in reality I just fell for VLR bait.

Its in their bloody name. Plus the power of sponsorship is way bigger than you think and saying that it 'kills' the experience is something I've never heard before lmao

Honestly Mastercard thrifty actually enhanced the experience

I'll give them that considering there's not much money in esports and the fact that riot spent trillions of dollars to make arcane.

Its so true, it's not only a name that makes sense and integrates well, hearing its not like this is taking over and is hidden in every nook and cranny while it also doesn't fit in in every instance.

They were chosen solely because they could be fit in a place like this without taking much effort and not impacting the game at all, which makes them a win-win, this is like the one of the only ways to implement sponsors that's actually heat.
