WhiteRa gets 'The Handsome Nerd' sponsorship

Found by casting duo Nick "Tasteless" Plott and Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski, the T-shirt website "The Handsome Nerd" will sponsor one of the most renowned names on the pro scene - Oleksei "WhiteRa" Krupnyk".
Both Tastosis and WhiteRa need little introduction to the people familiar with the StarCraft life. The "Casting Archon" have given their analytical voices to many a tournament and are the regular casters for GomTV's GSL.
Mr. Krupnyk, on the other hand, has been one of the brightest StarCraft figures of all time. The Ukrainian is currently playing under the Tt eSports banner and often places high at major tournaments, most recently a silver at MLG European Invitational, 4th place at the ASUS ROG Stars Invitational and a top eight at IEM Global Challenge Kiev.
The news that WhiteRa will receive a "Handsome Nerd" sponsorship is still very fresh and comes from Tasteless' twitter.

| white ra for the win |
| "one of the most notorious names..." Notorious?? Not really a fitting adjective for whitera.. |
| Gj. Wish you best of luck with new sponsor. We hope to see more and more good games made by your hand ! : ) Good Luck. |
best wishes ra  |
| Hahaha Idra is notorious, Whitera is more beloved. A 5 second search of "notorious define" on google would have helped you. Also does it mean Whitera will come to the GSL? |
| White-RA <3 glgl |
| Quality of writing on GG.net has become absolutely shocking. GL to White-Ra |
#2, #5 You are right, apologies for my flawed English, "renowned" was the word I was looking for but I guess I am in need of more coffee ^^  |
| Just because of this fine treatment of him, I want to buy from them. Much love for White-ra. |
| Pretty cool sponsor actually! :-) happy for you white-ra! |
| any word on how they are sponsoring him exactly? |
| #11 can't u figure it out? They give him money because they'll have extra income if people like #9 Davoud buy t-shirts cause of White-ra advertising them anywhere (on stream, on his uniform, in speach, etc..) Sponsorship works like this, pal |
| Happy for White-ra, he deserved that. |
| #12 yeah no shit, I was wondering if they will be paying him some kind of salary or if there are other perks as well. |
| special sponsor tactics incoming |
| @ #7, you would be referring to the "quality of written english or communication" as oppose to the "quality of writing" I suppose? And the awesome just became even more awesome, now I want to see White-Ra casting GSL with Artosis and Tasteless, then I'll pay for VODs! (prays)  |
| #15 haha best comment ever |
| whiteduckload lol |
| This man has more sponsorships than the whole eSport scene. |
| The sponsorship was made to acknowledge White-Ra :)) |
deserverd!  |
| Lol This reminds me of the game "sc2manager"(textbased) Did they get this idea from that? |
