TSM|ZeRo’s latest “Let’s Talk” video opens up about a coveted fighting game competitor’s goal: getting professional sponsorship.

For the most part, that involves advertising the sponsor and their products through any means possible. Social media numbers from Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, and so on play a significant role, too.

“Research is very important. You want to research into whomever you’re planning on doing business with, see what people who have worked with them have to say about them. Finally, don’t be afraid to reach out and network,” ZeRo said.
