Blitz, I think people in general will support you no matter what you do. I'd say just do what you think is best, and put that first. You can put others first in this situation, but consider the long run is I guess all I'm saying. And I'm sure you'll do good, your smart and you'll figure it out! =]
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

If I was in your position, Febby would be on my shitlist. I understand he acted out of his own best interest; the manner in which he did it wouldn't sit well with me. That's just how I would feel though.

Be relentless in the pursuit of your dream. Don't let this incident be an excuse to let yourself down. The last thing you want to do is look back on everything and regret that you didn't do everything in your power to keep your dream alive. Don't baby yourself, and don't make excuses. Understand the situation you're in, and find the best path to move forward. I've been there at one point, so I sympathize with you.

Success is a process. Don't let the goal winning blind you.

eSports is a tough life; you're going to have to fight to succeed. Good luck.

Hi guys, to add to the most drama fueled day of my life, it looks like I'm leaving fOu. With Febby gone this leaves one remaining english speaker on the team, and another member just quit and the rest aren't sure whether or not the will continue. I urge you to not flame Febby, he made a huge mistake, but he is genuinely sorry and came back to make amends with us all individually. As far as the team goes, I had a blast for the 6 days I was here and every single person I met was super helpful. The teammates and coaches made me feel super at home and when I gave them my decision to leave they were super excited for me and said they were sorry I was in such an unfortunate situation. They kept apologizing to me even though they literally did nothing wrong what a buncha great people. My decision to leave is mainly centered around the fact that the team basically consisted of 3 of us left and we had absolutely no idea who the other two players would be and when I expressed the desire to maybe bring two of my own in they were iffy. My korean as is isn't very good so making a team where I could only communicate with one other person fluently seemed like it wouldn't be best for the team. We talked it out and we honestly both agreed that this would be for the best. As for my own plans, I'll be temporarily staying at the VTG House I think? This was all very last minute and I wasn't really sure what to do, but everyone honestly seems to have moved on and my teammates expressed there regrets that we weren't able to continue on as a group. As for the rest of the team, they seem unsure of what to do but I wish them the best and I hope you guys continue to cheer for them no matter what they do. They treated me absolutely fantastically during my stay and I want to give a shoutout to everyone at the fOu house. Now onto the good news. I'm in the process of trying to create a team in Korea and the news should blow you all the fuck away and I'm guaranteed none of you will be able to guess what it is. Itll be fun and big and funny lets say that. Thanks everyone for the kind messages and support throughout all this I'm sorry this has been such a headache for everyone that has had to keep up with the drama, I promise I'll try and just stick to playing. If any sponsors are reading this and need a team I've got one.

Fuck yeah man. Looking forward to the new of your new team. Gonna take Korea by storm. GLGL!

Although we should sympathize with your situation of being left hanging by Febby, you should've mentally prepared yourself for literally anything before flying to Korea. For you not to consider every single possibility after entering Korea, including this scenario, was short-thinking on your part. If you think in Febby's shoes, he may have thought you were a decent player, but also probably considered the fact that it is your first LAN game ever, and doubt you.

Furthermore, I hate to repeat it, but it's true what the posts above say, you shouldn't use Demon as an excuse. As a pro-gamer, your goal should be to win, no matter if it's some random Korean noob or Dendi. Having your mentality shatter by simply the name of the enemy isn't what a pro-gamer should be. In fact, you'd want to carve your name the way you said in the interview with Hotbid by winning those games.

Good luck on whatever path you choose though!

It takes a lot of guts to fly all the way out to Korea and make a go at pro-gaming. I feel like this unfortunate situation with fOu will be the catalyst for something greater. I support ya!

Sorry to hear that Blitz, but at least you have an alternative plan, I hope your new team sweeps the scene. Went through a couple of the first pages, these people are quite harsh.

Don't mind all the people flaming your dota skills, none of them have played at the competitive level or laned against you lol. When I heard you were going to Korea, I had no doubt you were going to win something over there, and I still think that way. Good Luck in the future, and hopefully the next time you make headlines, It'll be for a tourney win!

I hope you give it a shot. That's only 6 months afterall, and if it fails, so be it. I don't think you can go wrong trying your best and living abroad. It's a great experience outside of the gaming aspect.

heres my 2cents from someone whos been in close touch with the scene for a very long time.
firstly i think its pretty obvious that it was a mistake to come to korea based on a promise by one individual. especially since that individual isnt the one who has the power to take care of you with things such as food, expenses etc.
no one could have seen this dick move coming, but you should have been more cautious anyway, seeing as how volatile the korean scene is atm.
secondly, and this goes for pretty much 90 percent of people watching korean dota, you shouldnt have underestimated korean players. people watch korean pro games which are still in its infancy and compare it to games displayed by navi vs alliance or something and dismiss the korean scene entirely. no shit koreas going to be worse, however that doesnt mean korean players are all shit at dota, they just lack experience. i know from personal experience that a good number of korean players are easily capable of playing with other pros in less competitive settings. this i think was your biggest problem, you flew into korea and from what i can tell it seems like you considered your team to be favourites prior to demons arrival. you were not favourites. and no offense, despite what some people are saying in this thread also, you werent going to be an automatic star player. i heard somewhere that you had promised 15kills or something in your first game. regardless of whether it was a joke, it comes off as cocky and naive. had you come fully prepared to for the worst, maybe your team wouldnt be taking the loss this badly. obviously it wouldnt change the current situation, but the way your team approached the situation may be different. or maybe if you werent underestimating the korean scene so much, regardless of what febby might have said to convince you to come, you may have chose to not come at all.

You're so stupid that reading this made me more physically ill then Febby actually leaving. I came to the scene because I thought it would be a fun experience and it was the only team offer I had. I assumed we would be favorites because fOu got second only to Startale and hadn't dropped a game in NSL up until the finals. I never said I was going to be an automatic star player, and by the way the only we reason we had last that game was due to DeMoN. Not the Korean scene, DeMoN. I didn't 'underestimate' the Korean scene, I was well aware of where it was skill wise you fuckwit. I even made a tweet saying the individual skill was quite high but the teamwork aspect was lacking. As far as 'how volatile the korean scene is' I wasn't aware of that part considering I wasn't told that there was any issues in the first place with the team. Last night Febby telling me he had issues was the first I had ever known that he had issues at all. The only person not showing proper respect here is you o.o


You wont make it in the NA/EU scene and you wont make it in Korea. You lost mid to SF with your Viper. GG WP

Blitz, please stop responding; it just makes everything worse - you should've just left it at the blogpost. The more you read random people's flames and start replying makes people think you're mentally weak and sensitive, which isn't a good thing right now. Obviously it's a difficult situation and you're probably feeling down, however, it's not the past but how you overcome these obstacles that defines your character.

I hope you stop replying to the ignorant people that flame you and try to reduce to a loser; this hardship is the chance to prove that you're better than what they say and who knows - it might be the turning point in your career. Make the best of it and stay strong Will. Good luck.

This is honestly for the better. Febby seems like a good guy and has the actual balls to tell you that you're not gonna make it. He probably realized your lack of potential and left to make it easier for you to stop trying.

This is true.
What if his team met some other teams other than Demon's team, and they still lost? Shit would still be the same, Febby ran away, fOu disbanded. You can't just say as if that as long as you don't meet Demon's team, you'll win every other teams.

I am happy you are following your passion. I hope you have something to fall back on. Like education or a job.

Judging from other people's responses and your own responses... this may be signal to GTFO.
