Looks like a strong team. Gonna be hard getting enough people to show up for clanwars with such a small lineup though

Oh well, it's a lot better than having to invite LastShadow

It's called business ... if KHAN lost their sponsors and had no money to pay players or send them to events, after a couple of weeks they're entitled to look for greener pastures.


I guess, but the thing is that Garfield was good friends w/ Jason Lake during the CGS when Garfield was an assistant manager. After the fall of the CGS, Garfield decided to steal Lake's CS team. The thing is that the former coL team wanted to have a salary and stable organization with sponsors after the demise of the CGS, which Lake couldn't offer at the time. fRoD, Storm, Warden, etc were long time members of coL and they came a long way and it's a big deal because they pretty much stabbed Lake in the back for all the hard work he has done for them.

Now we know why iNcontroL has been having EG's link in his sig hahaha.


I know all of this, I'm a CS guy, SC is just a hobby on the side for me, I watch more than I play lol, but the thing you have to understand here is Jason Lake STILL cannot pay his players a salary like he used to. They stayed with him for a bit and Alex, being somewhat on the inside, knew of this, at a time EG was looking for a team, losing their old 1.6 roster when the CGS formed (Chicago Chimera). Alex knew this team would be looking for a new home soon if Lake couldn't find any backing, so he just made an offer. He wasn't really trying to "steal" the team, more like give them an option, would coL not be able to support them. Lake's response was uncalled for ... What did he expect? When he came in, he bought out his players ... What's the issue with Garfield buying out 4 coL players, who were most likely going to look elsewhere anyways?


CS salaries everywhere have dropped. So many teams cannot afford to pay what they were the past 1-2 years. And a lot of teams even have trouble paying the monthly salaries on time. So Lake, not being able to pay his players like he could previously, is a horrible excuse. Look at the ex-MYM team: its been nearly two months and yet they're still without an organization despite being one of the top five teams in the world.

Not a big market for teams like this right now which is kind of why it's surprising to see a team pop up now. I know SC2 is on the horizon, but even so. That's why CS salary and teams in general have been dropping down and falling off.

what? o-o;; doesn't that make him a veteran, lol.

Well I guess it is down to definition. But for me it's being known pre 2003 and I dont remember him so far back, maybe I just didnt notice him for a couple of years.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.
