I wouldn't be surprised to see SaSe end up with these guys. I think Na'vi fielding a SC2 can only mean good things for e-Sports. Glad to see more teams cropping up, now if we could only solve the visa problems with Chinese teams, e-Sports would take a huge leap.

I definitely like the application process. They want to know player's salary requirements, it's very professional, just like a real job.

Holy crap, Na'Vi is a sick team in whatever game they start competing in.

I get it now
The reaction of boron-11 and plain hydrogen produces all its energy in the form of charged particles which can be directed by a magnetic field, but the reaction is very difficult to sustain and many fusion physicists doubt it will ever prove practical

People act like there's not that many good players left to pick up for a new team, but it's not true. 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.

I wonder if the reasoning for NA being lower than EU is because Na'Vi is a EU team. If they want to have players in a pro-house, I would assume that they would put it in Europe. Therefore, it makes more sense to attempt to try to attract more European players than American players. That's the only reason I can think of as far as why EU is seemingly "ranked' as high as Korea in their eyes.

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.

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.

Is it just me, or is this a fucked up question? If you go too low, they just rip you off. If you go too high, they just decline you.

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 all about dedication, and they feel that its equally easy to get top 20 on NA as it is getting top 100 in EU. they want people that takes it serious and will work their ass off to reach goals, not people that whine and try to defend their ladder server... rank 14 or rank 21 means nothing, its just a selection process based on ratings and what ever they feel like.

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

LOL wtf they shitting on NA ladder.
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.

I have big hopes for Na'Vi, they are very dedicated and hard working. Coming from the CS scene, I wouldn't be surprised if the soon-to-be best foreigner in the world rocks a Na'Vi tag.

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.

everyone is getting way upset because of an application rule, it's just to stop people who otherwise would be wasting their time from doing so, if you are an outstanding player i'm sure they would look at you no matter what. Na'Vi hasn't been around forever but have proven to be a solid winning organization in multiple games, so..i highly doubt they would blindly make a decision just based of ladder rank. get a grip people

Hmm in my opinion guys that are great at ladder aren't always all that great in tournaments.

Good luck to them though. I look forward to seeing the full roster.

you guys need to cool it with the ladder shit.

NA isn't as good yep. But you guys trying to attribute extremely random numbers like "top 100 EU is the same as bottom 500 NA" or w/e is dumb. Most of us play / smurf on EU and place actually right around the same level with what we try and do on the ladder.

Recruiting via ladder rank for a team of Na'vi's prestige is insanely dumb. They should be approaching players of interest and asking them if they are interested in discussions post contracts being up / buy out options.

Mr eg, could it possibly be that they want to build a good team from scratch with unscouted talents rather than just trying to poach players that reached excellence by training with a different team? Cause the second option is proving to be somewhat unsustainable when the amazing acquired stars start to falter under their new inferior practice environment.


Bad timing I guess but 2 posts after yours it becomes evident why you are better off not arguing with progamers about progaming and just listening a bit more.


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.

This is fricken amazing, purely because one of the biggest DotA teams is making a SC2 team. Many of my friends purely play dota, and never got into starcraft. When they see that the team is branching to SC2, they will have second thoughts. GO STARCRAFT!
