Bad players have two options: a) Regroup and train harder to become good players, to become winners. b) Whine and become crybabies. It's your choice. | ||

I don't know much about feeby, but I can imagine he will have a really difficult situation finding a new team, both because what happened in the games and outside of it. It's great you seem to get understand well with your other teammates, maybe you will be benefit from feeby leaving in the end. | ||

I know we should all 'play for the love of the game' but is it wrong of me to also be attracted to the money? Or should I blatantly ignore that aspect altogether. This opportunity seemed a lot easier as if you live in a team house you can't quit and I'd be living in a structured environment with an already developed team. | ||

The most memorable coaches and players aren't the ones that won the most premierships, they are the dark horses that shook the scene out of nowhere. Anyone can cowardly leave and join a top team and win a tournament, but if you're someone who wants to be remembered, stick with it and never give up. Also after following the Korean scene in Broodwar for ages I have learned to never underestimate the passion and dedication of a Korean progamer. | ||

Losing sucks, and there's no doubt that you'll have to make hard choices in the near future, but there's a lot for you to be proud of. I don't usually watch NSL, but if you're there in season 3, I'll be sure to tune in and cheer for you. <3 | ||

If anything, this gives you something to reflect on. You're -still- in a scene where you've the capacity to be one of the top players, in a country with a strong work ethic and familiarity with scheduled gaming practice, and still have some of the fantastic english-speaking ambassadors that I'm sure you could get in touch with that know enough about esports to help you find your 5th player. From a PR and personal development standpoint returning from Korea having lost and been betrayed and emptyhanded seems like the worst move. You lost, but don't be defeated! | ||

Blitz, no offense, but you are not a very good player, at least, not good enough to be a professional player as of right now. Going to Korea just so that you can take advantage of their less developed scene, and try and make a quick bucks was a decision you made. If your ass wasn't so high up your ass as to believe you could literally just fly to Korea and win your first tournament, with no prior professional Dota 2 experience, with a team that you never played with before, then you would've at least had a more reasonable reaction to your loss. From your interview with Hotbid, you clearly stated your belief that the Korean scene was so behind in terms of skills compared to the rest of the world, that even you, could become a star player in it. Trying to be a big fish in a small pond, and failing to do so because of competition, does not warrant any sympathy. Demon being in Korea was clearly not something that you anticipated. The games that you played against him today, it was clear that Demon was able to pub carry his team, due to the low skills of his team and his opponents. It is my belief that you imagined yourself doing the same thing Demon was doing today before you came to Korea. | ||
