Smashboards Sponsors Geeky Goon Squad

[Smashboards]

Bellevue, WA - Smashboards, the worlds largest site dedicated to Super Smash Brothers and home of the competitive Smash community with over 200,000 members, will sponsor Geeky Goon Squad - the leading European streaming organization for Super Smash Brothers. Smashboards and Geeky Goon Squad will cross promote to further build the competitive Super Smash Brothers brand and community.

"With Geeky Goon Squad, I want to improve the overall quality and frequency of live streams in Europe, and also be an inspiration for other streamers. I always search for new ways to make the viewer experience as impressive as possible! Because without the viewers, a stream wouldn't be necessary! With SmashBoards on our side, I am sure, we can bring the european scene closer to the american audience and also convince new players in EU to strive to the top!" Said Philipp "Liva" Bürkner, owner of Geeky GoonSquad​

This sponsorship is a continuation of Smashboards support for the European Smash community. Earlier in 2015, Smashboards sponsored BEAST V and placed information on the European Smash Circuit in the footer. Geeky Goon Squad will stream "Heir II The Throne", "HELIX" and "B.E.A.S.T VI" later this year - make sure to check out their content on twitch.tv/GeekyGoonSquad - youtube.com/GeekyGoonSquad.

Can't say I'm a fan of anything with that name on it, just from personal experiences with many who go under that tag in games...

Geeky Goon Squad should probably rebrand itself into something that doesn't sound like it consists of a small group of people who have grown to accept that nobody loves them due to their life choices. But that's just my 2 cents. Also, not European, but I'm excited to see what comes out of this.

 

[NGUY (guitarstage)]

SO HYPE!!!!!!

What's the story/context behind that ?

>Well, "goon" doesn't have a positive connotation by any standard or interpretation.
>Squad has a more serious or dedicated meaning behind it, as compared to group or bros. It's way less casual and homie.
>I probably don't have to comment on how they start with "GEEKY" right off the bat.

>Icon is a freaky starbucks.

It's just a brand image thing. First impressions are incredibly important.

>Icon is a freaky starbucks.

For the first 2 seconds that I saw the article I swear I was like "Smashboards is sponsored by starbucks!?"

Then I actually looked at the screen.

 

[K7Sniper]

They seem to be taking a combination between Geek Squad, Starbucks, and a message board filled with trolls.

Either way, a rebranding should probably help them out a bit.

 

[Mr. Oshawott]

Yes...This organization seriously needs a new, more public-friendly name.
The current one makes them look as if they're there to induce consternation.

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

What a name Also, I did thought this was Starbucks too.

 

[JohnTwo]

Ooh, Starbucks.

No, wait. It's European. And Smashboards is sponsoring them.

 

[SmashNB]

Possibly the most underrated streamers in Smash. By far the best European ones, at least.
