For the past couple of years, Super Smash Bros. Melee has been growing at a monster pace, with top players receiving sponsorships left, right and center. Today, another fan favorite player has received a sponsorship. Ganondorf expert and style aficionado, Jason Yoon, better known as BizzarroFlame, has received a sponsorship from Team YP!

​
TeamYP is an eSports team affiliated with pornography sharing website YouPorn, and they are most notably involved in competitive Dota 2. BizzarroFlame is the first fighting game player that they've sponsored in their history, and it's no surprise that BizzarroFlame was their choice. He could be content simply being a top level Ganondorf, but Bizzaro prefers to win while styling on his opponents in every conceivable way, making him a great player to watch. You'd be hard-pressed to find a tournament set of his where he doesn't go for an up-tilt or Warlock Punch. BizzarroFlame wins hearts with every fluid waveland and hard read he makes, and he has firmly inserted himself into the conversation as the best Ganondorf player in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Watch YP|BizzarroFlame's Top Ten Moments by GRSmash below!


KhanYe is pumped to see a Ganon player get sponsored. Follow me on Twitter at @aymangolassi to talk about everything.

I can't wait until every Ganon main gets sponsored by some form of porn/hentai site. That should be like every ganon mains goal in life.

Geez, is every smash player going to be associated with pornography now?
Please let this be the last time.

Is it considered a good thing that heads of a pornography site are sponsering a player? Because I'd be fricken embarassed.

I'm not hating on him or the article. I am genuinely curious.

The perfect sponsor for the lord of disrespect.

Often watching Bizzarro Flame play is better than porn.

I didn't know porn sites sponsored e-sports. I think it's sad.

I think this is a perfect sponsorship: Bizz gets you rock hard with his Ganon, and now his sponsor will take care of the rest!

Soon we'll reach the pinnacle of porn sponsorship

Playboy | Darkrain

I was only able to glimpse into the future for a short moment, but this is what I saw

Bizz is one of my favorite melee players of all time but I am not fond of the porn industry. I don't think that this kind of stuff belongs in this community. At the very least, it'll increase Nintendo's opposition to competitive smash.

Still though, I am excited for him.

Agreed. Melee will never be Esports if this kind of stuff continues in my opinion.

I think so too. Imagine an 11 year old in their parents living room watching a stream while YP l Bizzaroflame is in mid match, chat spams porn jokes, parents see it, banned from melee 4 lyfe.

Well to be fair, it's not like Twitch chat is ever...kid-friendly. I still don't like this sponsorship though. Makes us seem less legitimate in a way.

Stream chat will always be vulgar/unsuitable for younger audiences regardless of the topic. I remember during an interview with M2K at EVO 2014(I think it was EVO anyways) the chat kept asking M2K who his favorite porn star was, when the topic was lightyears away from anything relating to porn. Also, if the kid is 11 years old I doubt they'd be going to tournaments anyways and if their parents are watching everything they do on the computer all the time and say the kid can't watch/play a game because of something someone on the internet said, that's just sad. And if it wasn't someone making a dumb joke relating to Bizzaro's sponsorship, it'd be someone else making a dumb joke relating to something else unsuitable for younger audiences. Competitive smash's target audience is not 11 year old kids with uptight parents.

The team that is sponsoring Bizarro is a Dota 2 team. I don't think I need to tell you how large Dota 2's competitive scene is. Dota 2 is doing just fine as an Esport and while that is due largely to the fact that Valve supports it, I highly doubt melee's growth will be stunted by sponsorships from more controversial companies. If anything, I think we'll see a little more growth/interest from it. Sure, these sponsorships don't help the stereotypical view that smash players have right now, but they do give the game a little more exposure and someone may read about a melee player sponsored by a site they frequent(heh) and decide to watch a video of them playing. Boom, potential fan/player has been gained.

I'm not saying these sponsorships don't have their drawbacks, but it's a foothold that we can work with to gain more exposure.

I guess it remains to be seen, but my gut tells me this will have more drawbacks than benefits.
