Former Absolute Legends team Space has found themselves a new sponsor already. Flip.Sid3 Tactics teams up with IsMyGolf.com to send the boys to Dreamhack Summer, with Flip.Sid3 being the long-term sponsor of the team.
Three days after the mainly Danish squad Space parted ways with Absolute Legends, the team can already present a new sponsor. New eSports organization Flip.Sid3 Tactics picks up the roster and together with IsMyGolf.com will be sending them to Dreamhack Summer 2013. Both companies are fairly unknown names to the Dota 2 scene, even though Flip.Sid3 has been rather active on their YouTube account with their very own Dota101 series, as well as organizing the RIT Lan Collegiate Open, which was attended and cast by BTS' GoDz and Luminous, as well as EternalEnvy and WhatIsHip.
Statement by Brian 'MaNia' Strandby - Team Captain
I'm very pleased with how things have went for us, and how fast it has all happened. After our previous sponsorship ended we decided to stick together because we all just enjoy playing with each other and believe in this team regardless of anything. I'm very thankful to both IsMyGolf.com and Flip.Sid3 Tactics for what they're doing for us and how fast they pulled through. It was going to be very hard for us to attend DHS without their help. If you'd like to support us please make sure you visit the campaign link for IsMyGolf.com. They are completely new to the eSports scene and I would personally like to show them, as well as other big companies, how much market value belongs in eSports. Flip.Sid3 went the extra mile and have sponsored us for the long-term, making things go back the way they were if not better. Thanks everyone!
Statement by Hector 'FrosT' Rosario - General Manager of Flip.Sid3 Tactics
I worked with Samo, Mania, and the guys during my tenure with aL. The departure from aL was a very difficult transition but with the success of the RIT lan my staff and I felt we could justifiably get more ambitious. With the help of sponsors like Knightswarm (who also helped at the Dota 101 Collegiate open @ RIT) and IsMyGolf.com we now have the ability to support a Dota 2 roster. This roster for me was important to get on the Free Agent market because aside from the obvious skill they possess within Dota 2, these guys are great for Dota in general. This group is gracious, honest, supportive of one another, and more important than all of that dedicated to each other. I saw this first hand when I was friends with them during our time with aL and we are so blessed to be able to continue to work with not only good friends but such a talented roster. I want to personally thank Samo and the team for taking the leap of faith with us. I believe I can speak for my staff when I say that we will do everything we possibly can to support this team to the best of our ability and continue to grow in esports. We will need the continued support of fans and the community but I believe very strongly that this team will be around for a very long time.
Statement by Jesse 'Pandepic' Gill - Software Developer of IsMyGolf.com
At IsMyGolf.com we're excited to be taking our first small steps into the eSports community. We're very happy to have the opportunity to work with a roster of players that have such a good history in Dota, and we're confident that they will provide the Dreamhack viewers with a great experience. I'd also like to thank Flip.Sid3 Tactics for their partnership in this, as a company IsMyGolf is new to eSports and it's great to be working with people that already have expertise in this industry.
