i came to this realization a month or two ago, and left quantic gaming.

there are so many NA teams that like to call themselves "pro teams" but are really just messing around with sponsors money.
its all good and well if you want to form a team for fun and try to compete in a casual way
but when sponsors are involved its really a waste of time/money for everyone. if ur not playing 8+ hours and practicing with good people, u have 0 chance of succeeding. its seems like alot of NA players still haven't come this conclusion yet.

its comical to see semi pro teams spending money to send players to MLG's, when there players aren't really practicing seriously. seems to me they think somehow, someway there players will overcome impossible odds and manage to do well. its so unrealistic.

so many NA players consider themselves "pro" when most couldnt stand a chance against true committed pro players. but thats a another rant for another thread

yeah sorry to hear your situation too. In my case it wasn't related to gaming, but it still had to do with working for a friend(we are no longer friends, and have not been, for almost a decade now). I lasted only 8 months under his management. It was hell, dictatorial, and to make things worse, he alternated between "friend mode" and "boss mode" and I could go forever but I really don't want to mentally revisit the hell I went through.

You dream up all these great scenarios, how you'll be the kings of the world, going through battles together. Then somehow, reality is completely different and doesn't prepare you whatsoever for the nightmare that's to come.

So in my case I really feel for these situations because in a different way I been through something quasi-similar.

I know there is a team called "EoN" which is sponsored by a big Youtube team called Optic Nation. They were looking for some SC2 players so i am sure they must be talking

Everyone was expecting this and i for one am not happy, but not unhappy. Sixjax did not offer anything to its players other than a name and saying hey i play for a team. They were not an IRL team, they were a internet team and this meant that the players, though they probably skyped a lot, did not really contribute too too much to each other in real life. They might have played against each other and made each other better by that means, but that is not the same medium as I.E. HuK living with oGs.MC oGs.Nada oGs.Hero oGs.theSTC and oGs.Cezanne, (yes nada and hero have changed teams but the point is still valid) these people in real life explained to HuK how to play the game, and helped him become the most dominant (arguably) foreigner right now. They had players that were extreemly good but were horrible in the "locker room." Major may be the best foreign terran, but he reaks of manner issues and all around social issues to keep sponsors, however, without Major the team lacked its killer player. DDE is also quite good, but its hard to name another Sixjax player after Vibe (yes i know there are, but those are the most visible players). I like artosis (tastosisftw) but what did this team have on the positive side? the only thing i see is a sponsorship, i just think IMO, that this internet team idea for (high level) pros was just bound to fail. This infact may be a great thing for the players of Sixjax, now they can get signed by teams quite easily without the hassle and issue of public looks by leaving and joining teams quickly.

sixjax always seemed like less of a team, more of a tag for teamless people to put on their id.
