Honestly, I might have simply gotten in a little over my head.

In my anger I recently lashed out at the people whose clan I was formerly a part of, and now I'm a member of the Taiwanese clan Rush. My own thoughts on this are that I have truly done something unique now.

There is no Liquipedia info available on this team. Gemma SSQ, a female has-been member, joined a long time ago and is now a member of gamabears in Taiwan, the same team as GamaniaSen. She also kicked my ass over the summer.

What is significant about me joining?

I am the first American to ever join. Making this even more appealing, or appalling, is the fact that this team only allows people to join on an invitational basis.

I should start studying Chinese more now.

EDIT: I guess I should iterate just a bit more why they are famous. Um, well I am now in the same clan as Taiwan's Day[9] equivalent, SoBadRush (his facebook has more likes than tasteless), as well as a few semi-pro players. Unfortunately, all of the players in the clan were completely unable to make it to the round of 32 in Taiwan's ASL (GSL equivalent for Taiwan).

Congratulations! :D

I don't know what else to say because I'm not very familiar with you or the clan. :/

I remember Rush. They're not bad.

That's all I got. Good luck!

Compare this to tasteless... I'm going to study Chinese for an hour now. Um, frankly speaking, if I get a chance to co-cast with him, that would be priceless and just what I need for a justin.tv partnership

Don't take this the wrong way, but your blogs are some of the most self-congratulatory posts I've ever read. "My own thoughts on this are that I have truly done something unique now."? Look, if you do something noteworthy, people will take notice - that's the point. The fact that you have go out and tell people that you did something noteworthy, or explain it to them, or try to convince them and remind them over and over? That's probably a sign you haven't actually done anything yet.

There's a right and wrong way to do self-promotion. Day[9], for example, is a great self-promoter, and people love him. But the thing is, when you read anything he writes, or watch him talk or cast, he just oozes enthusiasm and passion for Starcraft, the community, for what he does. People want to support him. People want to help him out. I don't get any of that when I read your blogs or the couple times I've watched you cast. Your blogs ask for community support (e.g. making a post about wanting to cast WCS, and telling everyone to share it on FB and tell their friends...), but it's plainly obvious that you're in this primarily for yourself. All you have to do is have a quick glance at your blog titles..."I want to make it big casting"...."I'm famous now, sort of". People can sense that self-interest right off the bat. You can't tell people to help you out, especially internet strangers. You have to make them want to help you. And for that to happen, you need to give them something they appreciate first, which you haven't done. And so long as you don't change that about yourself and/or the way you present yourself, you're not going to "make it big."

Again - I'm intending this as constructive criticism - if it comes off as too much of an attack, my apologies.

Alright, while I don't take this as an attack, I do have to instead ask, "Who created this account just to tell me one paragraph of info?" I have my own thoughts, perhaps someone that I know personally...

EDIT: I actually meant to post "my own thoughts on this are that I do not want to disclose what happened or talk about the last clan I was a part of." I got distracted by alt-tabbing or something like that then i couldn't remember what I actually wanted to type.

Actually, I might have been the first foreigner to join (since technically I'm American), as I was part of the team for a little while back when they were playing Brood War. They were are pretty chill and mannered, but much preferred typing in Chinese. The starting lineup was around B/B- level, so not bad, but not enough to get into something like the ASL.

Joking aside, congratulations, I'm sure this will be a great way for you to get deeper into the Taiwanese scene!

They have sponsors "now and then" is my understanding. Do you know anything more about them?

that's a pretty popular page for just a clan, are you sure its not a team with a clan support underneath it? Must be playing a variety of games too, not to mention TW has a pretty good sc2 scene although its not talked about much

Hey quantic, um, the page I linked you to was actually just a celebrity figure.

This is the actual rush clan:
https://www.facebook.com/ClanRush?ref=ts&fref=ts

Honestly though, I'm only high diamond on NA, so I don't think they took me in for my SC2 skills, they took me in because Im an English native speaker and because I love starcraft 2 and I am proficient in Chinese.

I played with quite a few of the Taiwan players around this time last year, I was playing with NW. I even got to play a couple games in the Taiwan leagues against Rush.

They're all very nice (especially midnight) but the language barrier for a foreigner is quite difficult, and the worst problem is the latency. It's more or less impossible to play with 250-400ms constantly.

They were one of the better Taiwanese BW clans back in the day, but of course the foreign BW scene was nothing like the non-Korean SC2 scene nowadays. There weren't any sponsorships or anything back then, just a bunch of guys playing with each other and in clan wars on iCCup for fun. I didn't keep up with them after they all switched to SC2, but they were a legit clan in BW.

Also, Sen (yes, the Sen) was part of the BW team for awhile too. Several of the players from the clan are now either coaches or players for Taiwan TeSL SC2 teams.
