Thank you for explanation, LookAYoyo. All I know is that PPS is correct and that PSS is not, no offense directed at Mista8eight8. ;D ---

I desperately hope Ed will come in here and shed light on the topic. For now, I’ll try to fill in some holes. Hmm, where to begin? > [@thrower121](#): > > This is a NON sponsered player > > Also, Even though Evan Nagao was wearing team YYF shirt he is NOT sponsered (suprisingly enough) but the consider him part of the team but he is NOT. > This is a SPONSERED player > > P.S Gentry got sponsered not too long ago Yes, Evan Nagao is sponsored. I know it’s been said, but I wanted to reiterate. Secondly, Gentry didn’t get sponsored “not too long ago.” He was sponsored by One-Drop much earlier in the year. > [@mista8eight8](#): > > Umm…I’m not sure any of you understand team yyf… > > Team yyf is split into three different sections: > -Competition team > -Video team > -protege team Video Team? I’ve never heard of such a thing. You say there are players that only shoot promos, but if you look at YoYoFactory’s YouTube, there aren’t any players in the promos that don’t compete. > [@mista8eight8](#): > > Psss: All the cool kids know basic looping because it helps regens > Pssssss: Dont switch teams if you do get sponsored, you’ll get flamed > Psssssss: You don’t get on the team through video, in most cases you have to prove it in a competition since you can’t edit the mistakes out. Cool kids? This isn’t school. Regens aren’t incredibly important, and aren’t used excessively. Switching teams is your business. It shouldn’t be a concern to others, but I’ll go more in depth about that later. David Ung, John Chow (and some others) got on the (what used to be?) Junior Team through videos. Now that that’s cleared up, here’s my two cents. A lot of people say you shouldn’t yoyo for the sole intention of getting sponsored. Now that I think about it, I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true. Some people wish to get more involved in the competitive aspect and wish to represent a company to help them and have them help you. That’s fine, to an extent. Where it gets selfish is where you want to be sponsored by a company to get free stuff and to be “cool” because you’re on a team. Bottom line is, you shouldn’t join a company unless you absolutely love them and have the right reasons. Don’t join a company unless you know you’ll never leave them. And don’t join a company for the free stuff. If you’re on a team, act like it. You have to hold yourself in a manner that correctly represents you and the company - it’s not just your rep at stake, it’s theirs too. I’ve left some stuff open ended, so if you wish to finish it off or have questions hit me up or post in this thread. For those who want to get sponsored, I highly suggest you talk to Ed Haponik (not to get on a team, but just to know about sponsorship and similar things.) - Samad Patel Team General-Yo [http://www.generalyo.com/](http://www.generalyo.com/) ---

I think it’s safe to say in the zombie apocalypse that you are going to be safe because you have no brain to eat Mr.888. They have a protege team and a company team… as it is the lines between the two are pretty hazy. Stop making things up and confusing the kids at home even more. kthxbai ---

> [@djho57](#): > > First off, x52, don’t be telling thrower121 to spell “sponsored” correctly if you can’t even spell Evan’s name correctly. Second, mista8eight8, you can’t just say you were referring to Gentry when you make sucha generalized statement as the one that you did make. Gentry isn’t the only guy that got flamed. Third, also at mista8eight8, when using more than one “P.S.,” use P.P.S., not the other way around. > > [/End Rant] > > Momentum, I would suggest listening to what all the others are saying. > :wink: I made a typo. ---

this is going to get locked soon, but seriously, you are just digging your grave deeper mr888. when in a debate and trying to prove a point almost never use the word “pretend” or “imaginary” or “fictional.” that came out of your mind, not ours. they are still sponsored by yyf. just because yuuki places higher does not mean that he is on a different team, and just because ann makes more videos does not mean she is on a different team either. it is just that yuuki has more of a point grabbing routine and ann has a more… gentle? style. she makes more videos. that is all ---

Brb guys… Going to make a video for my Magical Unicorn Rainbow Duncan team that me and Samad are on. What’s that? Duncan doesn’t have a Magical Unicorn Rainbow team? Doesn’t matter: I like to fictionally place things in my mind with unicorns and rainbows and look like an idiot in front of everyone while doing it. I feel bad for the guy who posted this vid, you totally wrecked his thread as well as digging a hole for yourself.
