EPTKind of a weird pickup by Quantic.
I don't exactly agree with the decision.
Check-Six is losing some of their main players recently. Sleep, Suppy, now Maximus. Wonder what's going to happen with them.

If he were a bit better, I could actually see Quantic using him as a team league sniper, since very few pros would know who he is or how he plays and his all-ins are usually pretty strong (almost beat MVP with one, for example). While I love his stream for the entertainment, his all-ins tend to be late and mistimed. If his all-ins were that strong, he would be more highly rated on the ladder. Hopefully he can dedicate himself to improving the glaring holes in some of his gameplay, but at this point he is purely an entertainer for Quantic like maximus mentioned in his post. | ||

Quite clearly a personality pickup and nothing to do with his play. best of luck to quantic anyway. This, sorry but if Quantic is going down this route instead of picking up worthwhile talent... | ||

To join a professional team when you really ( no offense Maximus ) don't have the potential to become a professional competitive player is just silly. Its almost as if it is making a mockery of the pro system. I mean football/basketball/rugby teams pickup players for their skill, not for their personality. But if you look at a team like ROOT gaming, they have all these awesome personalities on their roster. Even though they do not have the highest skill level of player and aren't winning tournaments or doing well in the GSL, everyone loves them for their quality of entertainment they bring to the table. For as much as we hate on KESPA and Blizzard, there's no doubting that in Korea only the best players could get a progamer license. I'm sure the pro teams would separate from the casual ones if players required more investment. | ||

Quantic is picking up talent and the community gives them crap(mostly from bronze kids who color while watching max stream) | ||

MaximusBlack's post in this thread here is literally copypasta of his comment on reddit. Or vice-versa, who knows. Seriously? Put some effort in man. Wow, someone is actually mad. | ||

Quantic = Business Streaming = Viewers Maximusblack = Usually over 1k viewers when streaming Maximusblack = is a mediocre masters player at this point in Sc2 after playing thousands of games and in various Lan events. Maximusblack with no stream probably doesn't get signed into Quantic or an academy. Quantic signing Maximusblack = 1k+ more people knowing of Quantic assuming they didn't already. Maximusblack = expendable after his contract is up since those viewers will then know of Quantic and I highly doubt he'll improve to a competitive level. (Many EU,KR,NA GM's without being on a team at Quantic's level and are far better then him so please don't try to tell me hes going to become Sase by being with Quantic when hes still midmasters at this point of Sc2) | ||

Cats and dogs understand things through the spectrum of "glad" and "mad." If you're not feeding them, you must be mad at them. If you pet them, you're happy with them. Oh, you fed them? Now you're happy. No treat? Must be mad ... Maybe I'm not mad but I thought it was lazy to copy-paste the message that way. | ||
