Organization claiming that NFO is a partner?

[ProdigySim]

Hey, I've heard stories about non-legit esports/gaming organizations claiming to be sponsored by various companies in order to get players signed.

Recently some people I know got sponsored by a esports organization that claims to be "Partnered" with NFOservers. I don't see anything on NFO's site or twitter that verifies this, so I'm wondering if that's actually true.

I suppose the term "Partner" is a bit different from "Sponsor", but I'm wondering if anyone from NFO can confirm that you indeed have some sort of partnership with this organization.

Just trying to look out for some friends,
Thanks.

Many places like to say they have partnered or sponsored with a certain company as it gives them instant credibility. Lately I've noticed partnered has become a replacement for server host.

I have not corresponded with this organization. By "partner" they likely mean that they use our services.

They should update the logo, as they're using an old one of ours.

Wow, they use John's company's name in vain, and all he cares about is they are using an old logo.
