At last weekend's North American regional, team Atelier (whose core players are Matt, Sizz, and Turtle) was playing for more than just a bid in the world championships and a spot in the next RLCS. In all probability, it was playing for a sponsorship too. Atelier is one of the best unsigned teams out there and everyone kind of assumed that them making the top two would lead to a sponsor picking them up. After all, they'd be clear of the uncertainty that their new signing wouldn't even make the tournament for Season 4.After a bye in the quarterfinals, Atelier downed Denial eSports 4 games to 1 to clinch a spot in the finals. Even the commentators acknowledged how the victory meant a little bit more to Atelier. They were eventually swept by NRG in the finals, meaning that they missed out on a bit more prize money. But, everyone assumed it meant a sponsorship was likely imminent.
