Gotfrag reports that German Counter Strike team mTw has lost AMD as a sponsor. Frankly I'm surprised that anyone would want to sponsor gaming teams that don't have a following large enough to make a return on investment. We get people wanting us to sponsor them through Tek Republik all the time, but I tell them the same thing. I don't need to lose money. "Our partnership with AMD was canceled by AMD on December 31, 2008. We were informed in time and thus we had the chance to start looking for other opportunities. AMD canceled their arrangement with mTw due to the economical situations, which as we all know is in a decline. We won’t be the only ones who are affected by AMD’s decision to cutback in eSports. I really regret this step by AMD, as we actually expected a long-term partnership with the company. Nevertheless, thanks to support from our remaining partners and the good work of our management, mTw will be well-prepared for 2009. We will try to continue our success in the future."
