Hey guys
I'm writing this post to clear up any confusion over the recent dissolution of Team [NaS], since Ive been getting a bunch of questions and so have my (ex) teammates.
I disbanded NaS because of a variety of factors. I personally am tired of leading a team and need a break, partly due to my current life situation being too turbulent. The majority of our roster is also either not playing BW at all, will be taking an extended break for life reasons, or unable to show up at regular team league times reliably. So after finishing our runs in both BWCL and STPL, it was a good time to stop. We wouldnt be able to field a roster when the next seasons came around.
I am also not interested in recruiting more people to fill the void and bump up our roster, were that even possible. I wanted to keep NaS small and tight knit, the S is for squad no matter which version of the name you use. Ive known some of these guys for many years, and our friendship isnt going to change just cause we arnt playing teamleagues under the same tag.
There was zero connection between losing to ReV in STPL, and the decision to disband. Had we won vs ReV, wed face iRk and then Soul if necessary and then disbanded after our run was done. I am not on "life tilt" from recent BW losses either, Ive taken losses before lol. It is far more frustrating that ladder still does not have racepicking support and likely never will, stunting my ability to practice and improve, than any single tournament loss.
NaS B still exists and has no activity problems, they are still going to be playing in BWCL next season far as I know. I relinquish my power over that team and place it fully in the hands of my friend Snipe[NaS]. They may choose to rebrand or not, thats not my concern. I wish them GL ofc.
As for myself, I will be inactive for a bit but I intend to play in leagues again soon enough. I havent decided whether I should join another team in order to participate in STPL/BWCL, ill make that decision later if I have the time for them. Ive already had several offers, but atm im not interested in teams. Theres even been some talk of a NaS revival down the road as well, who knows what the future will hold. Im just going to take it ez for now.
Shoutout to SuGo[NaS] cuz this man loves shoutouts

hi dragon, big fan here. could you please address the recent rumors circulating in the foreign scene that the NaS breakup was due in large part to your painful and persistent hemorrhoid flare-ups? thanks in advance, and good luck with your health issues!
|
Best of luck to NaS people, SuGo is a free agent oh my god
|
Rip. Hope you find something else as a passion!
|
Damn.. Remember NaS started in 2016 with close group of friends? 4 years passed and well i knew drag had to take a break. It is what is now. Hoping you come back stronger than ever dawg

aww sad to see you guys go. Was always a fun and mannered clanwar. But as an ex-clanleader myself I know how time consuming and frustrating it can be. Hope to see you guys revive your clan someday though!
Keep it up bro! and going out as champs is also nice 
+ Show Spoiler +Also please all clan leaders dont poach all the players into just one clan too, would be kind of bad for the whole scene (looking at the bigger clans especially).

I don't know why this made me chuckle but it did.
Sad to hear NaS won't be partaking in STPL and BWCL for now, but if you don't want to run the team and you don't have an active enough roster anwyay its probably not best to force it and finish on a high! Thanks for running NaS and doing it so well and hopefully we'll see the more active people including you join another team so we can continue to see you fighting in STPL and BWCL :D

Very sad to hear this, bro!
What I thought would be the everlasting battle between iRk and NaS has come to an end, and feels empty allready!
I hope to see you all back in the scene soon! <3

Unfortunate

what a damn shame.. really sad news.
WEll.. GGs guys and good luck to all of former NaS squad in the future.

Great run over the years. What started as an NA only clan and then slowly added TerrOr and eOnzerg. We never went past that or recruited anyone else outside of NA to make sure it would stay a true "squad."

What started as a No Autism Squad certainly ended with at least some autism. Also, I think it's fair to say you'd have recruited more top foreigners if given the chance. Eon and Terror just so happened to be teamless.

Yes, that's probably true.
Also, as we come to this bitter sweet ending, and think back to even before NaS was officially formed (1.16 before Remastered came out), we had Yaj and Bonyth also a part of the "Squad" -- just thinking back on some of the memories and the longstanding friendship that many of us had over the years. Somewhere that friendship clearly got lost but a memory is a memory lol.
Actually, if 1.18 didn't split regions on friend lists the way it did, I wouldn't be surprised if Bonyth actually joined NaS with us from the start. Maybe wishful thinking, but a high probability. That would've really changed things in term of winnings.
Anyways, good luck all. And I hope everyone makes their way into different teams so that the scene/leagues get shaken up a bit.

Sugo is surely an interesting character. I recall a funny NaS story related to Sugo...
He claimed he was the reason I was no longer in NaS and he got me banned from the team.
I'm pretty damn sure I left a day or two after joining due to inactivity and not being able to play for/with the team regularly as my schedule had changed. Dragon on the other hand was always a standup character.

This topic seems to me like some time traveling zone, are we again in 1999?

Yeah, funny enough - Dragon is actually the first person I can remember getting to know personally when I came back to the scene in 2015. Through him I met you and Seri/Jay/Bard pretty quickly. Can't believe I have been back for 5 years.

Always sad to see teams disband, especially with such a talented roster. RiP and GL to all players.
@eonzerg: you better keep playing, i need you for NW season 2

I have no idea what would happen IF something happened, but I certainly have nothing but good memories from all the nights (from my perspective at least) that we spent playing a video game together.
But the life goes on, cannot go to sleep at 6 am anymore ^_^
and a shotout to Sugo, because he loves shotouts.

Really sad news, to be honest. I might not always have loved all the members, but I've certainly always had a lot of respect for DragOn and his work.
Hope to see the team reunite again - both as a rival to reach towards, and as an extra team to fill the scene.

If any of the NaS guys like Phalluses and are looking for a team to participate in BWCL/STPL, team Red certainly would welcome some of you
