Just curious, what if a player like Nestea applies? I believe he has said that he doesn't care about Ladder and just screws around on it. Especially in korea, there are players that are top tier but just don't care much about ladder so they are not that high in ladder. I believe I remember seeing that IMMVP was only rank 1 masters on Korea.

Must be tough on the player to have to suggest their own salaries...aim high gents, aim high.

Just because they want top 20 NA/top 100 EU/top 100 KR doesn't mean they think that's where each of them are roughly equal.

It could just be that they want to focus on EU, so they have stricter requirements for NA/KR (yes 100 KR is stricter than 100 EU).

I mean most of their players are from eastern europe and their activities are all in that area, so of course they are more lenient on their EU applicants.

I can't tell if you are serious... I'm sure they know the players and the scene.

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's from EG, obviously he prefers poaching players in an ill mannered fashion.

I like the way Na'Vi are approaching the scene, creds & props to them. Good luck to them aswell.


Hey look it's a guy from the forum! Obviously he prefers to make dick posts and contribute nothing while trying to drive away actual intimate perspective!

Am I doing it right?

If any team in the world has teh $$$ to rival EG and FXO it's gonna be Na'Vi, and they tend to be notoriously effective at winning stuff.

So this should be interesting.

There are plenty of unscouted talents that can be gathered through small/local tournaments. These reflect a lot more the player's predisposition to play professionally then ladder ranking.

I'm sure if a pro player approached them they would take him seriously, regardless of his ladder record. You should know this. Also, last time I checked, progamers won a few games now and then. Big talkers who can't perform is just humorous and slightly sad.

Seriously? You want to call me out for my performance in MLG seeding and progaming when you are a scrub who sits on the forum and shit talks people that put their lives into this game? Really?

When was the last time you won ANY match that people care about? In my worst slump I beat choya / drewbie and others.. these are people you couldn't get a game with because nobody cares about you. but if you could you'd go 0-100 against them.

Sorry to bust out the thunder stick on you but you seem to be a special form of bad so I needed to put you in your place real quick.

I wouldn't argue with you over the game itself in a million years but all the things surrounding pro-gaming and the scene I wouldn't necessarily take your word as absolute truth. Opinions differ between pro's, don't they? Appeal to authority ftw.

It's way too early for you (and everyone else) to come in here and start complaining about their recruitment process. As he said the ladder ranking is essentially just a minimum requirement put in place in order to weed out some of the potential applicants.

I'm sure with Na'Vi can put together a great team.

They were one of the first, most enthusiastic official organizations that supported our SkillCraft study.

GL Na'Vi!

I didn't say you can only listen to progamers. I said you might benefit from listening a bit more.. this is evident here. You tried to be a dick and take a jab at EG when I said this method of recruiting was bad. They (Na'vi) clarified that indeed I was correct, ladder rank is a bottom line not the defining factor).

It gets old each time I post on this forum some random dude can't just address my point but instead has to attack my team, me, my performance etc.. this place was my home before you knew what SC was. I hate that I share it with a bunch of 13 year old haters now.

1. Irrelevant
2. Uncalled for
3. Wrong

The top three reasons why your post is useless.

Anyways, I hope Na'Vi actually makes it big in SC2. It would be interesting to have another big team to compete with the others.
