Everything this NaNoCloud guy is involved in just keeps getting better and better. I mean...break out the popcorn.

Is Core a dodgy clan? Who exactly is this Neurotic guy? Why do none of their sponsers actually appear to exist? What, exactly, does Neuroscience have to do with being Operations Director for a gaming team? Did anyone get paid or are people just pretending to be paid? What about the people claiming they know the ones involved? How about that identity theft controversy?

All or possibly none of these questions will be answered next time on TL Forum Drama Time!


Personally I'm just waiting for it to be revealed that NaNoCloud, Anderson Barrett and Neurotic are all the same person. Then he rips a face mask off and it turns out to be Destiny trolling everyone.

I appreciate the intent of this thread, and in the context of online gaming, the research done by the original author seems comprehensive. HOWEVER, hate to break it to you, but sometimes the internet doesn't have all the information! (what? no way! the internet knows everything and everything on the internet is true!) Yeah, no.

CorePro Desing, LLC was incorporated a couple of days ago. Now, I know we've all come to expect excellent and speedy service from the state (yeah right) but try checking back in a couple of weeks. As a profession I worked with 12 start-up companies over this summer. All of them exist, I'm certain of that. Try googling them? Nothing. Doesn't mean that anything that doesn't show up in google doesn't exist. Just means it could be new.

And where does it say Core paid all of our players? Yes, you can find many players who haven't been paid, and were not promised pay. Congrats. But instead of going behind our backs and doing shoddy research, why not ask, who HAS been paid? And you will find the players who have been paid, just as promised.

Also, no where did we say our promotional videos were entirely created from scratch. And no, it's not "taking someone else' s work." Why would they create video templates if they didn't want other people to use them? You're supposed to edit and use them as your own. In fact, that's entirely the purpose of video templates. So that statement just seems slander-ish and abrasive.

There's so much more that's just wrong about this thread that could've been entirely clarified by a 10 minute chat with Neurotic or many other members in Core. Instead, the author of this post (who apparently is all about "fair game" and honor) decides to back-door Core, instead of doing the "fair" thing and talking to us first. Thanks.

If anybody believes this drama or has any questions about Core, feel entirely free to talk to anyone on the management team or visit our site and see that we've created something out of nothing that our members love and we're not trying swindle people, we don't make money off of anyone, in fact we've all put in so much time and money, we're pretty much doing it for everyone else. The author asks how we have time to do all this while keeping up in SCII. We don't. I don't remember the last time I've played a video game. Because all the free time I have I spend making Core into something better for the community.

We're all in eSports together, and we'd all like it to become something bigger than it is. So I say we work together, instead of backstabbing others in the industry, god only knows why.

Just from the statement above I can tell you don't really know what you're talking about. You are so very wrong. So many real (as you call them) organizations do this.

Also, elevation, who are you to write about this? You have nothing to do with Core. Stop trying to play Batman.

The second ONE SINGLE PRO PLAYER from Core gets swindled, or lied to, or not paid, you don't think he'll be upset? You don't think he'd write a thread about it? You don't think he'd tell his friends not to join Core? Being the new organization in such a volatile industry like eSports, if Core messes up one tiny little bit along the way, it will crash and burn. No need to have others try to do it for us. Let the players decide whether Core is legit or not. Not someone who has nothing to do with it. We can fail all by ourselves thank you very much, we just are determined not to let that happened. If our pro players wanna leave, and leave us with no sponsors, no income, no sustainability, so be it. But they don't. Because we're not screwing anyone over.
