what big tournaments has slush or spades won?

You hear about them all the time in tournament streams though, so they must be doing something right. How many times have you heard about VTPerfect in any tournament streams, I have heard 0.

Wow, I didn't expect a new team to be created, it would be funny to see ReignRain, as he wanted to join a foreign team, and I figure one with a salary, a team house, probably some open spots(also probably looking for another terran as they only have one), and some good players would be a pretty easy choice, especially with Phoenix there as he speaks korean, making it easier to integrate Rain into the rest of the team.
Or Rain could just go for Liquid/FXO/the unknown GSTL team with ThorZain/NaNiwa as they are in korea.

Pretty interesting news; definite congratulations to everyone involved. I have a few suggestions though...and please take my advice.

Despite how much personal money you have, or how rich people are that involved in the organization. PLEASE understand; that everyone gets tired of that eventually. You need to find a way to actually make money, or get sponsors in order to remain sustainable. Sure, this is great news for now but make smart decisions so you aren't just grasping at 15 minutes of fame.

ill admit i havent watched Fayth play sc2 in a long time, but from the games i have seen of him, couldnt even compete with Azz, whiplash or pokebunny.. let alone ANY triple A players.

as for BW legend...steep words... only north american worthy of a title like that is probably Nony (Tyler)

but hopefully he proves me wrong. with Pokebunny's reasoning. im assuming its the same with Azz, since he live in Australia and probably just doesnt want to move to the states for the team house. Whiplash is a REALLY solid player though. i wonder what his reason was. i hope we see an expanded roster soon though, it needs serious work team-wise.

Would you disagree with this statement: KiWi and SLush are better than virtually any member of VT.

I would say KiWi, and to a lesser extent SLush, have a wonderful combination of skill and star power. It is certainly not just a case of "popularity contest" antics. KiWi and SLush have a place on any A-team in any NA/Euro team.


seriuosly guys would you just stop being class a jerks? that goes for everyone not just the one i quoted. is there really any reason to be this antagonistic even if vtperfect and vt as a whole might well be worse than kiwi or slush is there any reason to respond to his post saying as much?

I have to agree, let's not crucify the guy, but it was pretty fucking stupid to come into a thread announcing what is apparently your Team's new A-Team and start talking bitterly about how starpower is worth more than skill.

He could still perform on a comparable level to the rest of the current VT roster and made it farther than most of them at the most recent MLG(barring Pokebunny and Spades).

Fayth is a pretty decent SC2 player, nothing too spectacular, but he's an awesome poker player. :D

that's what i'm questioning, i follow the sc2 scene rather religiously, and if you dont hear anything about someone at all, that means they are almost guarenteed not playing. (being a good poker player has ZERO relevance on if your a good starcraft player or not.) which means they are behind. and thus cant really compete.
seems like this team is just gonna stick to solo tourneys for a long time unless 2-3 more great players come on board.

this should end up well for kiwi and SLush no matter what though. if the team prospers, they get credit for being on borad the start of a great team, if it doesnt. they could leave and do something else since they dont appear to be financially dependant on a team for results.

Of all the teams that could pick Kiwikaki and Slush (and Fayth, didn't think he'd keep playing SC2 considering he's still much into poker), I never expected them to get into a new team. And from VTG, nonetheless. Well, the lineup looks sick, Spades is a pretty awesome player, I remember bout PhoenixWerra though I haven't seen him playing much lately.
This looks like quite a promising team actually...
