SaSe and the partnership with ST are the only reasons now that Quantic can be seen as a serious team which concentrates on talent/ strong players. Thought this team was gonna be different after they picked up Apoc, SaSe and Naniwa but I guess I was wrong.. the merge with Vile, picking up flo because she is female and now this is something I can't relate myself to. I am kind of dissappointed, because Quantic used to be my favorite foreign team for a long time. i agree with you but nowadays, teams want media attention in order to grow :/ | ||

If thats the case we can make a huge list of players that are on pro teams and have around 30% win rate and talk bad about the other players, i dont wanna say names but its a huge list, when there is people that are better than them and they arent on a team. | ||

You mean American teams. Don't make it sound like European teams are doing this. Well... that's partly due to the fact that a majority of European pros lack a personality to exploit -_- | ||

(if you're easily offended by messages taken in multiple ways don't open even though I already stated I have no intention of being racist + Show Spoiler + He's on the team due to him being black, much like some girls are on a team due to being a girl As a player who has tried joining teams that are entry level, being behind the top players on those teams, who also are trying to get further, in GM and high masters get passed up by a low masters 4 gating Protoss is fucking bullshit IMO. Some have argued Flo isn't Pro-quality as well, and she has even admitted on stream that she is on due to being a Female, but she's at least high masters an beating GMs, she may not win MLGs but she can still compete well enough. i work hard to get better but i still suck balls, do i deserve it too? ;/ im happy for him as an entertainer, he seems to get plenty of viewers for whatever it is he does (i dont watch) and im sure razer want to get in on that action. he isnt their first personality who has been very far away from pro level. on the added comments of 'working towards becoming pro level', thats great and all, but i dont see it as a realistic goal, being master on NA ladder is nice and stuff, but thats nowhere even close to being competitive. he will need to work his ass off for months and months if he wants to get anywhere, thats a lot of commitment. Also this is a great point. I have dedicated almost all my free time for a year to go from no competitive RTS experience (playing command and conquer skirmishes and WC3 customs don't count as competitive) starting from bronze doing 6 gate 2 robo 2 SG off 2 base PVT, to being a high masters on NA was probably the hardest work I've ever done, and now I'm not even done, I'm STILL practicing and working harder to get what one can call GOOD. People defend Max because he is a personality that is kind hearted over trolling (IE incontrol), and completely ignore that regardless of "hard work", he still sucks. I've worked harder at being a player than he has and I'm still teamless, and better than him. | ||

You're the one who responded with a trollish remark and I responded in kind. It seems that my comment may have actually hit home, when yours did not  | ||
