I have one question though: how do sites like fundsponge even work? How can people pay the normal amazon price and both fundsponge make money to exist and the benefiting party get the 4% of the cost? Does amazon give up some of their profit to allow this to exist or something?!?! | ||

While I agree that there are some sketchy things going on, that isn't anywhere near enough evidence to support the claim of it being a scam... especially since you have one of the players stating outright that they have been paid. p.s.... i took the time to read the whole thread, it is quite obvious that most of the last 10 posters didn't even read anything past the OP. This is why you need to add the above evidence! | ||

This is crazy because I was actually the very 1st person to accuse Nanocloud of being a fraud about being top 16 gm and bragging about it. I was just tired of hearing this guy say he was beating polt and byun on NA ladder so I did my reasearch I have the chat logs of skype to prove it dating back to May 3 2013. Ive asked him to play me numerous times when i confronted him but declined every time. When I googled his name i was actually amazed to see his acomplishments. Double degree and an ambassador and self-proclaimed top 16 grandmaster in starcraft2? If that really is Nanocloud then why bother lying in starcraft 2 a video game at that? I just dont get it. And I got a pm from Nanocloud shortly after http://imgur.com/6YszI6b Not only did he lie about his skill level but he lied about who he was. For a second I was gonna ask him to bride me to keep it a secret and ask him why do this but then I thought it just a video game. I love sc2 from the bottom of my heart and i just want the scene to grow. This person is truly vile, greedy and overall disgusting human being. So im asking TL a 2ND time to ip ban this person. Didnt even know people like that existed. | ||

Does amazon give up some of their profit to allow this to exist or something?!?! It works just like any advertising works. Amazon wants more customers so they pay out money to get them. Someone might normally buy from Walmart, but once they hear of fundsponge.com, they buy from Amazon to support their favorite team. This way, amazon gets more customers, FundSponge gets money for handling all the work, and the organizations or teams get money for helping to advertise. Teamliquid does the same thing if you buy Starcraft through their store. Its a win for everyone. | ||

This is why you need to add the above evidence! Just because their players got paid for 1 month (and not all of them confirmed by Days) that doesn't mean the team isn't a scam. From the information I've found about Neurotic, people are claiming he's just some rich kid trying to throw money into something, not a business man. Even one of their players confirms this is a sketchy situation, them saying they want to help out with their rent payments? Team claiming to a sponsor that they're owned by said company that doesn't exist (I don't see how any real business even if they were starting up would give a name that hasn't even been registered and approved of yet) then claims another one? Them associating with a known compulsive liar who also tried to completely screw over a team and is known for getting account boosted? I never claimed they wouldn't be able to provide anything, I said they aren't who they say they are and I still find that to be an issue for their players. When you have your own players coming in, confirming not everyone got paid and it's sketchy, then team managers telling me a number of issues they've had with their management coming into twitch chats promising salary and gear among other things. No I don't have set proof this team is entirely a scam like sMi, but there are way too many things that don't make sense and they still haven't answered any of my questions or questions of other people. EDIT: The link above showing NanoClouD admitting to stealing the guy's identity. However "Core Gaming" defended him saying they had personally spoken to him confirming he is who he says and spoke to his colleagues... So how can you expect people to believe everything else they are saying when they came in here and lied from the start? Also claiming that they were partnering with the executives of Nano's supposed companies... So you plan to start up a company partnering with executives from a company that an individual claimed he ran? This right here is a major red flag now. | ||

I don't know if they were also lied to or in on the lie itself however they claimed to be partnering with said executives from companies that the real NanoClouD does not own. This should raise a major red flag for a lot of people. The company was being started up based on a lie essentially. Link posted above regarding NanoClouD's PM is here http://imgur.com/6YszI6b Thanks to Rickyville21 for posting | ||

I'm glad the my friends found a legit team, I just hope this team to not associate with this nanocloud guy, I trust the players' words because they have no reason to lie for the team, If they said they got paid then they got paid. Keep the players get rid of nanocloud. | ||

Neglecting the first part of his message where he says "I stole his identity, do you think a wealthy, over-achiever, who owns companies, non-profits, would be good at sc2 or spent time on sc2?" He admitted he stole the identity and your organization defended him saying he didn't. You lied. End of story. | ||

Core is not a scam, it is a work in progress. We are not at the "true" professional level, but that doesn't mean we are a lie either. Everyone has to start somewhere, and we are trying to get started here and now. Justin/Neurotic is the leader/mastermind, and has been recruiting and guiding the community. We have existed for all of three months, and are trying to grow and evolve. Please, give us time to solidify our foundations and hammer out exactly who and what we are before you begin slandering us. thanks. | ||

End of story. you do realize he can prove his identity very easily right? all he had to do is answer my video skype call with his webcam on, or make a video of himself stating he's association with core gaming. | ||

Even more interested as to what Core is going to do about Nano or if they will just say "W.E. HE IS GM WITH ALL 3 RACES 2IMPORTANT YOLO" He can easily get out of this one by making a video of himself stating his association with core gaming. which will confirm his identity is not fake. But he still have to answer the self admitted boosting accounts to GM. and if he can't produce such a video, we just have to keep assuming this confession is real. | ||
