Quantic has found a new sponsor, and changed their name too.

Awesome.

yeeeeeeeeeee

I know Gatsby is psyched about this

So, how much money can Leviathan Gaming provide for i46?

Whats happening to old Leviathan gaming?

We split up
Grillz started school again
REP got busy at work
Chompa broke his computer somehow
38 started going outside
And I focused on school

Nice to see LG stepping it up and supplying the quantic team :)

Gratz to LG and Gatsby for the pickup. LG was a great sponsor while we were together. Best of luck to you guys.

My keyboard was so dirty it broke my whole computer.

Glad to see gatsby get a solid team to sponsor, he's been nothing but a great sponsor and a cool guy to me for the last 3 seasons. Treat him well guys.

Don't forget about your headset breaking....and your mouse

Fog did an interview with the LG guys, he'll be posting on ESEAnews shortly ;)

Congrats to LG's new team, wonder if they can get some sexy shirts in time for the LAN?

about time

good riddance to bad rubbish.

I didn't disagree with Quantic (the sponsor's) actions last season (I was told in private so I don't feel comfortable elaborating too much on specifics) but I was severely disappointed in Quantic's lack of tangible support for the team and the TF2 community.

Quantic is a really big name across many eSports communities (DOTA2, LoL, SC2), and it's really a let down that they never made any effort to cross-promote the team or TF2.

I think all the times I tweeted about @QuanticGaming I only got acknowledged once, a RT about Tyrone streaming, 3 hours after Ty finished... If they had re-tweeted cast notifications to their 9.5k followers, it would have been a big boost to their team and the community as a whole...

Someone holler at Rep for me. Wanted to get him on an eXtravision. It'll have to wait for ~ a month, but would be fun to have him on.

the fuck you know about bees?

chompas mom probably ate his pc

I got a virus from watching too much softcore porn

i miss you 38

rip rep!!!

These guys dont deserve to get fucked as often as they do.

Grats =)

Quantic were scumbags, and clearly didn't take the TF2 arm of their organization very seriously.

Glad you guys finally have some stable support now after eMg.

I wonder when quantic's call of duty team will find quantic only supports dota2 and sc2. lol

Here's my interview with the Co-founders of Leviathan Gaming and their take on their recent pickup.

Is the rollercoaster the new team's now?

Sadly TF2 lack of money, ESEA Invite prize is a joke, CEVO too. That move wasn't a suprise. Sponsors dont have good business in this game. BTW i love this game but bleh just for fun.

Nice - congratulations eMg/quantic/LG. Hopefully your new sponsors are what you need and continue to support you in the future.

I need a passport.

I've always been curious to the economics of TF2 sponsorships. How do they work? Like, what benefits (economically) do folks see sponsors receiving? Sending 6 people to a LAN seems pretty expensive, at least 5-6K I would think with airfare, food, lodging. UGC has been exploring sponsorships for a while now and it seems hard to justify a sponsor spending money on TF2 when a well known SC2 player gets more viewers on their steam in one night than we have in our entire 6,000+ player league. What do other folks think?

There are obviously other factors too.
