Is this a big issue? When the majority of the audience are males 18-35, this sponsorship absolutely makes economic sense.

Other esports like LoL and Starcraft have ruled out sponsors of this nature out of some attempt to appeal to the general public with the right image. I think esports need to accept they are not and are never going to be "mainstream" and instead focus on a sustainable business, which may include sponsorships like this.
