plzdunkillme was originally going to quit after nsl1 but qo convinced him to stay 1 more season. couldnt convince his parents to let him play. sleepy is going back to australia during nsl3 and is not sure of whether he will stay in the korean scene.

I'm a really big fan of Purge and Blitz as dota2 personalities, but the only good caliber player this team has is Bamboe.

Well in defense... blitz and purge and the other zephyr guys arent bad... it just seems with bamboes experience he just stands out the most and makes key plays at key times in games. A lot of people(myself included) can learn from his play and im actually glad he is in korea even though he is one of my opponents in this nsl. Motivates me that much more to improve and grow as a player

Pretty sure Purge mentions that they are renting it from an aunt/uncle in the tour vid.

So people can quote etc, and this is a bit off topic, but for those that are offended we came to take money or some shit, yes we partially came to win money. At least for me my main motivation is to win money. I figure I'd be transparent as possible. My entire season 3 earnings will go to paying Purge back, helping my girlfriend with some debt, and the rest is to pay for a vacation for my mother / helping her quality of life. I also happen to love DotA, and find this to be a fun way of making money while doing something I love. The motivation for the others has to be similar, to make at least some money, so we could continue to self sponsor ourselves and play in tournaments. We couldn't find many sponsors etc that would help fund us in NA, and expecting Purge to pay entirely out of pocket is a bit insane. We found a team house in Korea that was relatively cheap, a scene that is still growing, and a tournament scene that has enough money to at least pay for basic things. What people don't understand is were making very little off of this, as the PC's, rent, housing costs, food, etc are well over 10k. Add in 4 round trip flights, and all the other things we needed to pay for the place, and after taxes, were barely breaking even. The 5 players on this team were not offered positions on other teams, and jumped at the chance for this. Wouldn't you? We thought it'd be fun to play in tournaments that are more our speed in terms of individual skill, (on a side note weird thing half people calling us awful, half people saying were too good for Korea) and theres no way we'd win enough tournaments in NA/EU to fund what were doing now. As is, there is no guarantee we win anything at all, and I hope people stop flaming us every chance they get over stupid shit. The Koreans here are great understanding people who recognize that us coming is beneficial, none of the one's I've talked to have had any issue with what were doing. This includes March, Tenbird, and the guys I stayed with at VTG. Thanks for reading the rant.

Hey man , you dont need to justify anything and people trolling at every opportunity should be expected , that comes with the "public figure" thingy. Just don't mind them and keep practicing :D. And make money more of a motivational thing rather than a goal, wining and having fun should be the goal :D.

gogo blitz + team.

*thanks ReM1kZ for the brackets, i hope the games will be streamed :D i really want to see the team in action :D

welp, I'm not hyped
the korean skill level is too low, and I can hardly keep up with the western scene
but gl anyways, I'm sure it'll be like taking candy from little children

Just reading a handful of comments makes me proud of TL. People bitch when SC2 Koreans come to other regions and crush everyone, and then when "foreigners" come to Korea to beat up on people in Dota, they also bitch. I'm being serious when I say the lack of hypocrisy is nice.
