Anyone Masters and above can apply as long as they are not already under contract with another team.

Contracted gamers are not eligible for CA

This is my question also. Are the participants expected to maintain full time classes/jobs while they are in the program?? That seems like it would be very difficult.

Too many legal issues if they don't make it 18+.

Joining the Academy shouldn't put things like going to class or jobs at risk. As long as you can balance the two everything should be fine, and if you get into the Academy I would recommend you continue everything else you have been doing up until now.

Best of luck! Maybe an Academy CW soon?


God your such a douche, i wish Jerry would put down MMORPG's for 5 minutes so he could realize what an egotistical schmuck you've let being a 'team manager' turn you into... tho to be fair i didn't ever meet you before you found a way to shove your whole head up your ass so perhaps you've always been like this.


lol how you got douche out of that blows my mind. ^_^

It really sound like a stupid post no offense.


You don't even name anyone, let alone post their accomplishments that prove the point. Fact is, Team Liquid's NA players and Idra are the only ones from NA who have PROVEN they can compete on the world level. Claiming otherwise without posting results is just blind fanboyism.


You said anyone not on TL, now you add Idra, there's one. There's only one NA-non-TL player that played in GSL and it's TT1, he beat San who finished fourth in GSL, lost to MC and 3-1 to MKP tho, 2 of the 4 players with the best accomplishment in the world.

Beside that I could bring you a bunch of stuff, but you'll then use the latency excuse so it's pretty much a waste of time to argue about it with you the sample just isn't big enough. We will see at MLG what happens then we can discuss it.

It's the first offline tournament with enough NA player to evaluate the situation. I basically have no stats that shows NA players can compete with top koreans, but you don't have stats that shows they can't either.

Anyway the thread is about Complexity academy not about NA vs Korea soit's my last post on the issue.


Huh? You mean he won some matches in the world vs Korea tournament? You mean Bo1's? I said tournament RESULTS for a reason. Basically any tournament with world players so far, either a European or Korean has won, or one of the 3 I already mentioned (Huk, Nony, Idra.) Doesn't matter if it's online or offline; I think the latency argument is actually fairly dumb. So yeah, looks like you can point out some Bo1's or cherry pick some wins in NASL. Zero tournament victories or top finishes.

And so my original point still stands, why would someone put themselves through so much trouble to not even be on a world class team? If you're good enough, why go through this 'training academy' instead of just... going to MLG, winning games, making a name and becoming a star on your own? Why go through the reality show stuff?


What has Tyler done? He's like 49th in the NASL and his best achievement was getting in a top10 at MLG Dallas 2010 I believe. IdrA and HuK have achievements.

Fenix -- 3rd at DH, 1st IEM NA, 5-2 record in NASL
TT1 -- 2nd at MLG Dallas 2010, 8th MLG Raleigh, Top8 GSL World Championship

ur info is really flawed.

Looking at players under 18 is too risky, they have no means to continue a true pro-gaming career, no income, and the likely hood that their parents would be ok with them ditching their academic career to be a pro gamer... seriously.

I'm just wondering how many the actual good people will participate in it, considering almost everyone decent and above has a team.

IEM NA? As in this: http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/newyork/news/135900 ~ I hope a North American player won that, considering every participant is from North America.

MLG Dallas had what, one non-NA player (Socke)?

GSL World Champ was out of 16, so top 8 just means he won 1 round. Zero foreigners in the top 4.

I'm done derailing this thread about an unrelated matter. Truth be told whether I'm right or wrong, it doesn't matter. I hope complexity finds some undiscovered talent and raises the skill level of North American SC2.

Ya seriously 18+ what is this I want to compete in this but that screws me over seriously consider have it where under 18 just need parental consent since you looking for talent you should be looking at all ages.
