It always freaks me out when people refer to themselves in third person.

Anyway, Good luck. Good organization can create big names.

This team is far from professional. Their lineup will try to compete with teams such as Revoki and VPGamers.

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!


Well, nothing anyone has said was actually wrong in this thread so I don't see anything wrong with it.

Coming over to Icons of Vanity from (MG) are some very well known players both Masters and Grandmasters

Zaid "ShaDe" Quadri

Ali "dropin" Smadi
"BonkerZ"
"Insomniac"

Staying over from Icons of Vanity we have
Ember

EggY


Team Achievements(some players may have quit/stopped playing):

* Toronto Game Nation LAN

1st BaekHo - Razer Keyboard($100+)
2nd EggY - Razer Mousepad($50)

* MLG Raleigh 2011

Round 4 Losers Bracket - Usurp
Round 2 Losers Bracket - Cloaked

* MLG Orlando 2011

Round 5 Losers Bracket(Winners Round 3)- Usurp

* Michigan University LAN

1st Kodak ($50+T-shirt)

*Rutgers University Lan
Shade and Insomniac Top 8

*US Craft Cup
4th EggY




How can you give achievements for players that are either not on your team or not moving over to the other organization? That is quite redundant and pointless to do honestly and could give off a bad image for your organization to start off with. The only one on that entire list that I see is Eggy/Shade/Insomniac (despite the fact I've never and most likely no one else has heard of him).

Either way, good luck hope all of the unknown players do something down the road!

first thing is first...is this a troll...???

If so, i totally fell for it...10/10

If not, if EG's manager were to come on the forums and try to defend himself and the team by smearing the ones who are smearing you it makes your organization look like a joke (Picked EG due to most controversy and haters ).

Do not post achievements of people who are no longer on the team...Example: TeamLiquid won't go around talking about HuK's accomplishments after he left the team as if they were theirs too.

I guess you removed all of the random "X beat Y progamer and Z progamer on ladder!" which is a start but you should have waited till you actually had some results before even considering announcing you guys are gonna take down MLG, NASL, IPL

Keep your goals on an actual Real level for the time being and when one of your players takes down MKP or Alicia or someone in the open brackets at MLG "THEN" you can post all of the hype!

You got 2nd at the Toronto Game Nation lan? ...I was there and I don't even remember that. My point being that I think you guys are getting a little too ahead of yourselves with this OP.

The TL community is down right nasty. I'm surprised half these comments were not banned. Where are the admins?
