Tinker was a dumb name anyway. Even if the name Mouz is an unfunny joke at this point. lol.
Very businesslike.

You guys seem to be missing a point.
Every team mouz picked up got a bootcamp and full support for their players to prepare for the respective tournaments following the pick-up.
So before you call out Mouz for picking a team before TI think about what they actually bring to the players even if it's just for a short team. Which btw is not the case this time if you read the announcement. Mouz has been backing Tinker since New Year now and have payed for the most of their team house stuff.
Also where's my mouz pennant???

Yeah. I'm not sure it's entirely apparent that was mouz. Could have been GGA. Regardless it doesn't bother me but it is a bit of a funny trend.

"[...]We have long been discussing and anticipating coming under the mouz banner. The process for these deals can be long and uncertain especially when you are still searching for the right player mix. Since the new year mouz have been an integral part of our increased success. Everything we’ve needed to make this team possible they have stepped up to provide. From the food we eat at the house to the hordes of EpicGear options sent to us to choose from to the stacks of top-of-the-line BenQ monitors, it has been an overwhelming show of support.[...]" - Phillip Aram, Team Manager
You were saying? ^^
And yes I know the stuff is from mouz' sponsors but that's kinda the point of being a brand for a team, aye?

It seems to me that what has happened with mouz and their teams in the last 2 years isn't really mouz' fault, although I guess one could blame them for picking up the wrong team if they care about having the team around all year. But after TI4 and TI3 mouz didn't really drop the sponsorship, both teams just blew up completely and pretty much every single player went to different teams from those squads. Maybe if the team would actually have a core 3 who would want to play together after TI as well they could stay under the mouz banner.
But I have no clue really about how good mouz is as an organization. Just that what they have done with their teams in the last few years isn't only due to them being opportunistic when TI approaches or whatever.

Black^ always seems so happy, even in written interviews. Hard not to love the guy.
|
Unfortunately not playing ileague. I guess we'll see them in NA qualis.
|
Looking strong in the qualifiers but I think they should be winning a bit harder than they have been. 1 more series against Peruvian team and they really need to win 2-0 to secure top spot in their group (and if Col 2-0 eHug they actually secure top spot and there's nothing tinker can do).

If I read the standings right, they need to 2-0 Unknown to even secure their spot in top two.

Yeah, if Root 2-0s Unknown and Mouz goes 1-1 they are eliminated.
|
Unknown can qualify as well but Mouz at least has control over whether that becomes an option.

Yeah gotta 2-0 or its over.
|
Not anymore. Mouz only has to win a game to move on.
|
Yeah, I wouldn't blame the organization. I think there's just problems in the scene with sponsoring teams. It seems like a tournament/exposure problems for most orgs to invest.
|
Second. Still favored in my book to win, given both losses were avoidable.
Black pudge pretty good though. XD
|
THis should be fun to watch, Mouz has man handled VB the last like 3 series they have played eachother.My prediction is a NAR vs Mouz Finals. Revenge time boys
