Hey guys, I feel that you should be kinder to teams like this. Why? Cause it helps eSports grow.
Think about it this way. This is a team that has some sort of funding or some way to support themselves and is trying to grow. We should support every single person that is trying to make a breakthrough to the professional scene, and not shoot them down with "I haven't heard of you" or "you're not good enough". Cause they are obviously trying to get their name out there and form an atmosphere where they can practise and work on Starcraft enough so that they can really approach that highest level of play.
Think of it yourselves. If you were on a team that had a sliver of a chance to go pro, wouldn't you be ecstatic? I sure would, and I'm super proud/happy for this team to be taking a brave step foreword. They are trying to breakthrough, and I wish that they do. Why? Cause if they do, that's one more team to cheer for, one more group of players to know, and it expands the world of eSports just a little bit more.
Keep it up Icons of Vanity/MetaGaming. I really do wish the best for you guys, and that more teams like you tries to get a breakthrough!
No one has really been super negative in this thread so far and blind support isn't really sustainable if you're talking about "growing ESPORTS". Just let people react how they want, without being really negative, which no one has really done so far and stuff should go well. If the players/teams are good enough to be noticed, they will be, if not, they won't be, simple as that.
Sorry for going a bit off topic, I hope these guys try hard.

I hope that in turn I have not been insulting to anyone. I guess I read too far into what people were saying, but I feel that supporting a team that's trying isn't 'blind', as I am actively wishing that more teams get the force to go pro and expand this realm. Maybe I got too much negativity over people saying stuff like "I haven't heard of you" or "you shouldn't try this cause you're not good enough".
But at the end of the day, we both just want these guys to try hard and hey, why shouldn't we cheer for them to make it big? It'll be better for everyone.

Why would you make your crappy platinum account the one with your official name, including clan tag and everything. You only ladder seriously on smurfs?

Yeah I made it when I wasn't good. So i bought another one cause I didnt feel like ranking it up?
I guess that makes sense.

They have beating players on ladder from EG.HuK to vVvRuff.
Might want to check for grammar but I am not one to talk.
No one is trolling here need to relax.
A few things you have a few players with their names listed, others you do not seems as if you don't know their names or don't want their names listed.
can you give us an introduction about your players? maybe some videos of their playstyle? recent tournaments, maybe a local LAN they have to at least do that..

I must not be seeing this right because the added achievements has only 1 active member with a 4th place craftcup finish (yourself).
Did they name change or something?
edit: oh nvm two of your players got top 8 at the rutgers lan...

Jeez maybe their just trying to fulfill their own egos by doing this... The real actual pros are so far damn ahead that .. god cmon its common sense that to be pro you already need to be getting top results in semi pro tourneys or something.
Furthermore you need to be able to compete against the pros at major tournaments. Otherwise you're just that GrandMaster no name player that gets knocked out in the Open Bracket by some guy in oGs or slayers with no affiliation with an established team. by your logic everyone should just quit No one knows who we are, if you dont know who we are Thats how marketing works Now you know about us
Haha I like this guy.

Like I said kawaii
some of them stopped playing, but they played under our name while completing those achievements.
We've been around since last July.

^This. From the comments it looks like people sort of don't know your team, and right now you guys are basically on the front page of TL, so throwing stuff like links to your player's accounts (on stuff like sc2ranks, etc) maybe streams or whatever so people who are interested can look further into it?
Just a random suggestion, GL in the future.

I can say I have played several of these guys in NA / EU and I beat most of them but lost to cLsThunders 6 gate all in once or twice but hey... this means im possibly pro team material... fyi looking for a team =D
Good luck guys work hard and you guys might be like vile, almost upsetting Korean teams next

LOL? This is a "PROFESSIONAL GAMING TEAM" with players who are unknowns and add as their accomplishments wins over HuK and Ruff...

Wait.. is this a real team? Or one that someone made on SC2Manager :D

That doesn't make sense in the slightest

I've run into a few of these players on ladder.
Hope they do well in the future and good luck to all of them!
