It sounds to me like he is not sure what he wants to do.

I hope he misspoke there. There are a lot of people that put a ton of time into playing SC2 and looking for sponsors. By that statement it sounds like he isn't willing to put the time in until he gets paid. Kind of like looking for a job that requires college and saying "I've been planning to go to college, once you pay me I will go". Doesn't sound good at all. lol the part about this that pisses me off is this guy expects so much, when he's only played the game for a month. We get it, you were good at BW, but you expect teams to throw godless amounts of money at you when you haven't proven shit except for a fair bit of potential? A little arrogant of him. I wonder if he quit before or after root got those mega sponsors. edit: Assuming they didn't post immediately when he left.
If I ran a team I'd pay good money for any A-/A iccup player.

It's obvious that the only posters in this thread right now are disillusioned fanboys. I'd apologize for "hijacking" the thread if it didn't already have 200+ off topic posts and unrelated material that was LESS relevant than what I posted.
Sometimes I wonder what discussion would be like on here if every other poster wasn't just posting to attract moderation (Almost every poster on this page has done this and you know it  )

How are you not getting this? We aren't hinting at it, we are straight out asking you to stop hijacking the thread.
Almost every post before yours was about either Juan or Artosis, stop trying to justify your parade of stupid.

Blah, blah. You call it hijacking because it doesn't ring to the tune you want to hear. Again, I've been polite in every post I've made, unlike you. From what I understand, it isn't your place to tell me what to do on this website regardless, so if a mod wants me to stop posting I'll gladly show myself the door.

My entire post was about the team this thread is dedicated to. Juan joins SixJax. My post is about SixJax. Artosis and Juan are part of SixJax. Part of the thread was dedicated to the financial situation.
How about taking your fingers out of your ears?
Edit: Cool, bye.

I wanted to ignore you so badly but this needed a reply... related =/= identical
Thread: Polar Bears are cool animals. They have interesting hunting habits and their fur lets them blend into the snow.
Random person: I like polar bears too
Random idiot: I like snow. It snows a lot where I am from. I also read an article about how much snow there is in the Arctic. White fur is cool, my mom has a white fur coat; she wears it when it is snowing.
-----
Your post was not about the team, it was about their sponsor. Why don't you jump into a fnaticMSI thread and talk about how much you hate msi? You wouldn't do that would you?

hey i read this article when it first came out...too lazy to read all the pages
but came back to ask if he had switched teams yet?
|
i think it's an ok pickup. There are already 2 good T players in sixjax (dde and mihai). I think the tean need more P players. But Kitty will probably fit well in the team since they're mostly really young dudes. Good luck to him.

Pretty hilarious changing your post after I PM you to continue the conversation instead of pm'ing me back. Should I bother pointing out more flaws in your argument via pm or will you just come here and edit it again?
bigbeau: He's still part of the team.

He left ROOT not too long after they got their three major sponsors. He bailed on All 4 One to join ROOT (read it in the post about him leaving ROOT, I could very well be wrong). Granted, it didn't seem like he was clicking with the other team members anyway, but the money would have been there had he stayed with ROOT.
haha "the money would have been there" I dont think people get into pro-sc2 for money... at least not until flash/jaedong/bisu eventually come over and take most of it.

Jester: I see what you mean, but its like a raffle.. you buy a ticket for a chance to win..

Actually, Juan (gositerran) said himself that he felt he deserved to get paid and ROOT didn't agree. He team hopped until he got a salary + expenses covered, so yeah, I'd say he's here for the money.

i was clearly joking ^_^. maybe not so clearly haha

Well if SixJax pays him.. all the power to him.

There's something elegant about this post I really like. Anyway, I think Artosis made a good pickup. If anyone, Artosis is the most well fit captain for Terran and it will work out well.
|
He needs to be funded to go to events and the like. Apparently ROOT's sponsors were only trial sponsors, meaning they wouldn't pay for travel expenses yet. Basically the same thing qxc did. He needed a team that would be able to send him places to play, as it is very expensive to try to pay for that on your own... especially if you are training 8+ hours a day.
I think it's a great pickup, and I hope that Juan stays there. Artosis will be sure to devote a lot of his time to improving Juan's play, and I think that he will be able to post great results in tournaments really soon.
|
Good luck in your new home Terran.

QXC has built a name for himself in SC2.
The Mexican 'Superstar' has yet to accomplish anything other than what we know from his BW play. Artosis is using the Korean model to recruit; the kid has great mechanics in BW and he's super fast. You hear this one a lot. The same could be said about players like Flash and July when they were discovered. It's a solid foundation, but they still had to earn it..
I'm a firm believer in earning your own keep. In Root, it sounds like he didn't earn anything yet. I'm sorry, you don't get the BoxeR treatment on your previous limited successes.
Gosi has low mileage in SC2 and he wants everything handled to him on a silver platter? It doesn't work that way everywhere. It's fortunate situation for him. That's all.

On April 12 2011 09:48 jester- wrote:I think the thing I hate most about this is the fact that Sixjax is a shady auction website, so this guy is being paid by people being ripped off. Just adds to the already negative appreciation I have of him, although it is oddly suiting. http://www.sixjaxgaming.com/wp/Check out the "bidding" website in the bottom right. I'll see if I can drag out the whole explanation from Arenajunkies if anyone wants it... Link: + Show Spoiler +http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/193957-unethical-auction-site/page__hl__sixjax Explanation: + Show Spoiler +Here's how it works:
The auction (say, a $350 iPod touch) starts at $0.01. In order to bid, you buy tokens at a rate of 25 for $10.00, or $.40/bid. Each bid is in an increment of one cent. When the iPod is 20 seconds or less from expiring, any additional bids increase the time from expiration by 20s. So, an iPod touch for $1.00 has already earned the website $40.00. If it goes the way of Ebay, where items routinely auction for their average retail price or even say, $50 less than retail, they stand to make a massive profit. A sale of $300 for that iPod touch ends up making a profit for the website of $12,000. Meanwhile all the money spent on those tokens by everyone but the very last person, the "lottery winner" is gone forever.
IE. If you bid and don't win, you don't get your tokens or money back. Site sells tokens at a disproportionate rate and makes a ridiculous amount of money.
1 token = $0.40 (Customers money)
1 bid = +$0.01 (Increase in item, costs 1 token)
+$0.01 (Item sale price increases by $0.01) = $0.40 ($0.01 increase in sale price cost customer $0.40)
Also, I don't want to advertise for them at all, but felt it might be relevant for TL'ers to know where Sixjax get's it's money from (ripping people off). If any of this is inappropriate, remove at will and sorry!
People using the site use it knowing the situation they are gambling on. If they win something they chances are they won whatever at a much lower cost to them. The people that lost knew they were gambling on it. You can't really knock a site for auctioning stuff in a unique manner, if people wanna do it then they will, it's not like the site is stealing money from them.
On topic though: Hope it works out well for sixjax, the line up looks pretty good from what I've seen so far.
