They also would be lucky to get a Korean, so they're having way less tight ladder limits on them. Probably the only way they get an American on the team is if he's really, really talented and skilled.
This makes perfect sense to me considering that they are a team based in Ukraine, so players from Ukraine, Russia, Eastern Europe, etc. will fit much better. GL to any top players that join the team. It really seems like a top tier esports team.

It is a good thing there is no cross realm ladder matches to prove this. Yes the US ladder is weaker near the top, but saying the European ladder is the same skill as the Korean ladder is pretty ignorant as well.
I never made such claims I was merely providing opinions to a response.

Doesn't really matter what is true: if NA is ladder is equal to EU. It's Na'Vi's perspective, agree or not, doesn't change anything.
|
Don't make drama out of nothing... Na'vi is a really big team, its cool that they are getting more involved in sc2
|
To anyone considering to join them, pls do.
Na'Vi did a freaking excellent job with both CS and Dota teams (dota team won the 1mil in august), it would be really sad for them to not get the proper attention in SC.
|
even the NA pros say that NA ladder is really bad and the main reason is that most NA pros ladder on EU. i think it's pretty accurate to say that eu ladder is 5 times better then NA but KR is also 10 times better then EU.

I've just copied the title off their FB page http://www.facebook.com/NatusVincere and I've included that they have an existing SC2 lineup in OP
|
I am kinda intressed to know how much ppl are asking salary
|
Haha, they require higher of NA players.
Let the shit-flinging ensue!

Yeah sorry I didn't mean your thread title; they actually worded it themselves just like that in the English translation on their homepage.

Natus Vincere It's also "Ivan" (a common Ukrainian / Russain name) read backwards. I'm pretty sure that's the reason to use that particular latin phrase.
Eg: Ivan 'Artstyle' Antonov
Anyway, I'm not surprised, they were streaming SC2, and I guessed they have interest in getting serious team presence.

Watch as all their excellent players have no results anywhere ever.
Because SC2 actually takes some skill :D
More people into the scene isn't a bad thing though
|
Well you can't deny these guys know what they're doing when it comes to DOTA anyway- million bucks is a lot of money!
|
i know their cs1.6 team has won a shit ton of money, ~300k in 1½ years? and their dota team won the dota 2 million dollars...maybe they get some good playre on sc2 too
|
I love Na'Vi as a team. They are all hardworking and great players. Hope to see them have some great pick ups!
|
Wow, top 100 EU GM requirement and top 20 GM requirement if you're in NA?
GM in NA are known as cheese defenders.
So much elitism.
|
There are two kind of threads on TL : - Is IdrA the best foreigner zerg? and - EU vs NA ladder Every single thread -_-
|
Some people doubt the legitimacy of Na'Vi? I don't really follow CS or DotA but even then it's hard to not know them since they rip everything apart there.
Also, no one should take the ladder requirements too serious. I guess it means "if you can't make XX in ladder, then don't even try to apply." They obviously prefer (East-)European players, hence the ladder region bias.
|
Despite their ridiculous application system, they are an outstanding team. They do an excellent job of supporting their players and dominate other esports. No reason they won't build a world-class SC2 team.
|
Absolutely idiotic requirements of Top 100 Korea or EU and Top 20 of NA. There's a reason why Code B is the Top 400 of Korea... and that there are notable Korean players that are in Code B still (Just due to the level of competition within Korea).
Additionally, what's with the elitism assuming that EU is equivalent to KR? and that only the Top 20 NA can compare?
Lastly, Grandmasters ladder ranks vary so much day to day... you can be Rank 10 one day and fall down to Rank 100 if you're on Tilt and lose several games in a row regardless of region...
[/Rant]
I do look forward to seeing who they pick up though just due to their prior success with other games.
