Hey you folks who asked questions here

that thread has half the responses here, that's shameful. Support the team!

However I'm not too sure if you can answer it actually.
So - what do you do - if a player has very bad self esteem even tho he's pretty good and yea... basically - how do you try to change someone from a losers mentality to a winning mentality?
What's important, what do you tell them?

Hi iFfeRnaL sorry for the late reply. It was weekend and I was out enjoying my time with friends so heheh. Well.. usually in our case when players go through some personal problems I usually give them time to think about. Players who has losers mentality hmm honestly we let them go. (let them quit the game life). We are talking about Professional team here and players should have professional mentality. We can't just change their mentality when it breaks apart. So far we don't have any players who do not think it's impossible for them to try out in Pro-League. And pretty much it is truth and fact that players who has bad self-esteem falls apart.

I know that you might think it's kinda cruel. But that is what professional life is all about.

- Have you considered re-establishing the cs team with a different squad (esq.wind hello)?

Nope. former e-STRO CS (solo, bail, hee, ari, termi) will be my only CS team guys.

Them and I we still contact to each other to hang out (except ari) We still consider each other as a teammates.

I do not want any other.

# JohnBall

How often do those intra-team tournements take place?

- It's up to Headcoach's decision. And plus it's not a tournament.

Do you guys announce publicly the results?

- No we do not! Why would we want to tell other teams telling them the entry that who is good on which maps.

Any very surprising results recently?

- Not really.

- Well I think ceremonys are good. But my boys never do any ceremony, I kept on telling them to do it. But they really do not like it. But during next season if we reach upper rank I will make sure my guys to do it. ^^ :D I have good ideas.

wow!!!! how awesome, hi hwanni, my name is efrain, i have a couple of curious questions for you :D hope you dont mind!

- do any of the eSTRO players have physical training? i am a strong believer that physical exercise can help you deal with stress and relax, perhaps a short work-out routine would help the team!

- could you tell us any inside stories of the eSTRO players and their friendships? i recently read an intervew of Upmagic+Leta, but what about intra-team friendships? and any fun-facts about them? for example, who is the most disorganized, or who is the joker in the house, stuff like that. hahaha. thank you!

- is there anything i can do to help the eSTRO team? T^T i love the team haha. NeverGG made a topic to send eSTRO 100 messages, i already sent like 4. but how else can i show my support? i'll do anything :D

ps: Upmagic should do a magic trick as a ceremony!

Hello Hwanni. I don't have any questions as the ones I had in my mind were already asked, but I would like to say thanks for taking the time to answer them, it brings e-Sports one step closer to the foreigner community. ^__^

@ Hwanni

Out of sheer curiosity, what exactly are you looking for in the top foreign players? What is the decision making process or criteria to help you decide on a player, for example, ret vs. nony?

Also, what was the reason behind Idra leaving and switching to CJ?

It is very nice of you do have this interaction with the foreign community.
Cheers!
