Here comes my teamliquid hero!
How werent you banned during all those years?

Anyway, since you are mentally inferior I will explain to you:
-this thread is about how to recruit mediocre starcraft players
-I dont need to tell the name of the clan, because it is not relevant, as I want to recruit mediocre players

If you still dont understand this (which you probably dont! I know that you arent the sharpest tool in the shed) - when I make a thread asking for ZvT advice I dont give a link to my iccup profile (because this is irrelevant).

As usual; asking for advice on teamliquid was a big failure; it's usually the same.
Last time a good player posted here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=80284
it ended the same - only flames and comments made by idiots.

many great quotes in this thread
I mean, in the past I have joined many clans; in fact about 50-60, but mostly I just tried to humiliate the recruiters and never be seen again.

Technically my clan is in a really high bwcl division; around 5-15 people ask to join weekly, most of them are pretty bad though; we also have around 10-20 active members daily.

most progamers play like crap, that's why they dont release the replays; and when you see the reps they often arent that far away from some random A iccup player (doesnt even have to be korean). Ok there are few exceptions witht the top progamers; but they still arent that great.

C+/B level can be achieved by like 15-20% of iccup players as far as I remember. Our current best player has a steady C+ rank methinks and wins vs anyone from the "semi good" clans.

is this a troll?

What part of it is untrue about my opinion on progamers which is debatable, but IMO correct? (look at blizzcon results; to some degree wcg results - didnt 'undefeatable monster' jaedong lose to an amateur russian terran?).
As for the fourth quote, just search for detailed iccup statiscs somewhere on this forum.
And if you dont believe that one can join multiple clans over the years you just show your complete ignorance.

Does anyone know a way to get decent players? Being in a nice clan war division doesnt seem to help.

They are not gods, they are just much better than the general public as a whole typically.
"Progamers play like crap" - isn't that an oxymoron? Rofl.

He did achieve A+, he was rank #7 on the iccup ladder 5 years ago. He had to go for military service so he took a 4year hiatus from starcraft.

Kwark is a B+ guy, and his clan has Avi-Love (Know him from TSL?) even though Avi didnt play, i'd still say our performance is rather impressive for a new clan.

Dude I'm korean, my friends are korean, we're bi-lingual. So I don't mind if they only speak Korean to me. And why can't good clans have koreans? I thought koreans were nothing special according to you?

If its that easy to find C+/B level players, go ahead. You seem to have a good idea of making a good clan, go do it. Why ask for help here?


It's really hard to reply to your post without calling you a fucking idiot.
Basically you told me that in order to recruit C+/B players I need to learn Korean. You also believe that learning this pretty obscure (and useless) language can be done in reasonable time (dunno, 2 months? 6 months LOL) which only shows the level of your ignorance.

Then you brag that your clan beat Kwark (who the fuck is Kwark?) who is a B+ guy (so basically random player). and that your clan beat Avi-Love who also seems to be a noone. And no, I dont know him from TSL, despite the fact that he qualified. Congratulations on beating some no-names.
I dont think you need a progamer to do that.




Hey I got some tips for you.
1) Calm down. Take a breather.
2) I just gave you an option. If you don't want to take it, fine. I don't need you to go apeshit on an internet blog about it. If you're korean, it works for you. If not, it probably doesn't.
3)I'm not even going to comment on you calling the Korean language an obscure and useless language. Pure ignorance. And whats with the assumption that I think it takes a mere few months to learn the language? It's actually very hard. Took me years to speak fluently and I have parents who speak it. Shows your ignorance.


You just told me to learn Korean in order to recruit people to a clan. I ridiculed you by asking if this can be done in a reasonable time. Perhaps you should work on your English skills as you clearly have problems with sarcasm


4) I'm not bragging. Im using it as an example. Kwark didn't use his best line up so why would I brag? Also, if these players are 'no-names' who are you? No one is going to join your clan cause your skill level sucks and your social skills suck as well. Good luck finding any mannered good players by your ridiculous standards. (One who calls progamers nothing special and consider TSL qualifiers 'no-one'.)
5) I was partly joking.


if you arent bragging then why do you write this
ah; the typical explanation "it was a joke/provocation/I have been doing this for years"

Maybe the reason people flame you is because you kinda go off and flame people who are giving you advice. If you calm down and perhaps think a bit about the suggestions you can do something useful with them.

Well; the obvious ways are to:
-make topics at boards (unique selling proposition "we have good position in leagues")
-make test games on iccup (lame "join clan xxx")
-ask clanmates to ask friends/good players they meet
-make clan maps
-organize events
-release clan replays (hard if you lost good players)

Maybe there is some other trick though. Since most of the mediocre clans dont organize any of those above, yet somehow manage to recruit mediocre players.

Maybe I have my own ideas; but would hear the ones made by others? Of course you dont have any, because you havent enlightened me so far. I PMed you btw.

those curious about the clan he's in:
1) best terran player got sponsored and quit

MorroW
2) good/best protoss player got sponsored and quit

Enivid
3) good/best protoss(?) player was the only one playing bwcl consistently, thus he decided to quit

Bonyth?
4) good/best zerg saw that 1,2 and 3 quit, so he went inactive

Spire? but he's b- this season, so I dunno
team = [MB]

Nice one.

MB was a pretty good team. I thought MB was about average C/C+/B- though, no?

Anyway, I requested the thread to be closed and dont feel like having few pages of a flame war with you.

What a pity that you have lots of friends in the admins. You should have been banned years ago.

I think any further discussion with you is useless, as I really consider you mentally inferior. Unfortunately the weak as asian kids think that you are 'street-wise' or charismatic; they just dont see the fat kid you are.

Yep, in my pm to you resonance I summed up that you have posted 4-5 times in my thread; never on subject. In addition you behave as if you were a mod - that's why you are afraid to quote it. Maybe you could cut the spam? I know you need 1500 more posts to access the L.; but maybe spam elsewhere please, or write something constructive.
In that PM I also wrote that incontrol is an useless spammer+flamer, just like you (well, he is more of a flamer though). He made few posts in this thread too; none on the subject, all pure flames.

wow, i now have zero respect for team MB. I now know to never offer to join your team. Calling people who are within the top 50 in the foreigner scene 'no bodies" when they are considered somebody here is just a face palm, and a slap in the face.

If you want to get good players, don't say people who you would beg for (TSL Qualifying people) are nobodies and you don't care about them.

My previous team, Revoltados, which has recently had sponsorship issues due to them dropping the BW team (basically founder of the team went inactive and had another guy deal with sponsorships, and he didn't like the BW team because we were an old game, and sponsors didn't approve because we brought in the best results, so they stopped sponsoring the entire team and the team fell apart). But anyways, my team Revoltados, went from starting as a no body, to in our peak crushing F2F and other division 1 teams with a 4-1 or 5-0 score. We started with C rank players and ended with A-/B+ players. The only way to do this is to show great manners, and a family/friendship atmosphere. I still talk/play with many ex players from my team who have moved to other various sponsored teams.

You have to show manners to the scene which will attract people, and a little bit of money/gifts from sponsors doesn't hurt at all.
