Sponsorships were initially uncommon in the ''Smash'' community, and were much less prestigious. The only major sponsors before 2014 were player-run organizations that focused almost exclusively on streaming and hosting ''Smash'' tournaments at the time, such as [[VGBootCamp]] and [[CLASH Tournaments]], and were much more akin to [[crew]]s. Sponsorship became more common starting in 2014, particularly after the announcement of [[Team Liquid]], a noted ''{{s|wikipedia|Dota 2}}'' sponsor, signing top professional ''Melee'' players {{Sm|KDJ}} and {{Sm|Ken Hoang}} in March 2014. Since then, a number of top players in the various games have been sponsored by various gaming organisations, as to represent their brand, promote other endeavours of the sponsor, and other related activities. Sponsors can provide a variety of benefits to professional players; in addition to often transporting them to distant events, they can provide a number of goods to top players, such as capture cards and gaming equipment for streaming or recording for [[Twitch]] or [[YouTube]]. | Sponsorships were initially uncommon in the ''Smash'' community, and were much less prestigious.

Although infrequent, tournaments can also be sponsored, with the sponsor providing a venue and similar logistical support to allow for tournaments to run, such as how the [[MLG]] ran many ''Melee'' tournaments, or how [[Nintendo]] provided a stream and a demo of ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon}}''. | Although infrequent, tournaments can also be sponsored, with the sponsor providing a venue and similar logistical support to allow for tournaments to run, such as how the [[MLG]] ran many ''Melee'' tournaments, or how [[Nintendo]] provided provided a stream and a demo of ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon}}''. | ||
