That being said, I don't think that ladder is the way to truly gauge skill. Especially since there is a huge discrepancy in "which server is the hardest." If there was a universal ladder that had everybody ranked against each other, then I could understand the point of this sort of system. But I really fail to see how it makes sense with the requirements they're asking. Hopefully they become a good team though, as I would love to see them or any StarCraft professionals do great. Hopefully no big controversies though, as I would hate for more of that for the StarCraft community. | ||

There are a lot of talented guys in EU especially who just haven't had the chance to fly around the world and train in Korea etc.. Just look at Thorzain. He was completely under the radar until TSL3. If they have a good eye for talent, they'll throw together an awsome team in no time. ThorZaIN stated in an interview (sorry I'm not 100% sure where the source is, but it was something after he won TSL3) that he purposely tried to stay under the radar leading up to TSL3. It's still pretty amazing how he came out of no where, but his case in particular is a bit special. I think that if there were more players as talented and innovative as ThorZaIN, unless they're trying to hide from the spotlight, they would be found out by now. | ||

How do you answer this? :/ there are plenty of lesser known top GMs that will be happy to play for free sponsorship gear and no salary. i think that what they are really aiming for is whatever big names they can get to attract interest for the team. | ||

It's their way of thinning out the braindead casual gamers from the guys that do play 6-8 hours a day. | ||

Obviously it's known but how does it help professional organization to basically say if you're #21 on NA ladder you're too shitty for our team? not to mention isn't pretty much everyone in top 20 already in pro or semi pro teams? xD | ||

Top 100 US is probably better TBH. It seems that most European top dogs have abandoned ladder practice in favor of customs making way for mediocre players. | ||

GL to you! Also, concerning the Top100 vs Top20 debate, it might just be that, because of where their teamhouse is located, it's more costly for them to raise an american than a european/korean player, therefore, setting the standard higher. | ||

He wasn't arguing with a progamer about progaming tho. You stated your opinion on how they should recruit, and how they supposedly was recruiting was dumb, he responded with an alternative view on things. Not anywhere in this is it clear that hes "better off not arguing with progamers about progaming". Maybe you should stop talking and stating your opinion for once and start listening abit more. You are both acting like idiots, you and Sina92. I really do hope they find some amazing players who will perform excellent for them in the future. They really do have an eye for talent and seem to be a great team to be in. I wouldn't be surprised to see some huge names joining them later this year. | ||
