Elliot “LgNDarigaz” Smith

Thank you for taking the time to consider our organization and for reading through this partnership proposal. We appreciate quality companies who see the value in the e-sports marketplace. These companies help propel the exploding gaming market, and in turn they receive community exposure by supporting the players. Team LgN is a dedicated, international team of professional Starcraft 2 players. We have players from Korea, Mexico, and the US competing in North American tournaments and gaming events. Our players represent a wealth of untapped market potential, and we hope that after reading this proposal, you will see the value in a simple advertising opportunity.

Have other ideas? If you have any other suggestions about how we can work together to benefit both the team and its sponsors, let us know!

Team LgN’s Financial Structure

Team LgN does not operate for the personal profit of its organizers. All funding for Team LgN goes directly into the community through tournament prizes and expenses for the professional players (equipment, travel, etc.). The community at the-legion.net is similar, with all donations returning to the community through server costs and community events. We seek to work with companies and communities in a way that allows for a steady return on investment while supporting Team LgN’s players. Team LgN operates on a monitored team fund handled by a dedicated group of Team LgN administrators.
