And when those koreans are preparing for their code S matches sase will not get much practice time with them. Basically right now, he plays in the GOM house where has has to play really weird hours because of the ruckus the casters make. So he's not getting as much facetime as he would with korean progamers that he could watch and go over strategies with, unless he gets invited to go to a korean house for practice. But as a spectator I don't know the whole situation and so I hope for something like that to happen i'm not 100% sure, but i don't think sase having a weird sleep schedule is due to them being annoying but because he just feels like sleeping whenever it suits him. i also don't understand the hate on qxg from so many in this thread, people should at least wait fom their announcement that they said would make the sase signing seem minor in comparison. i do however agree that a korean team probably would have been the best choice for him to speed up his progression even more, and there's more to it than we know. | ||

They have still much to learn about sc2 background and should not sponsor pro players like Sase. /rant As someone from QxG's StarCraft divison, let me help clarify some of your concerns. You're correct in saying that Quantic comes from a largely FPS background. It's a bit of an unfair assumption to say that Quantic got involved in SC2 merely because it was a popular new game on the circuit, though. Our vision has always been much broader than that. Point is, there are a lot of very SC2 scene-savvy people (like myself) working behind the scenes at Quantic. You are right in saying that QxG is very new to SC2, and as such you should reserve your judgement. Everything is in good hands, and hopefully we can continue to prove that to you over the coming weeks.Saying that we "seem suspicious" seems a bit unfair. | ||

It has seemed to me that a lot of these teams (LG, SixJax) who fit the description I said above about the sponsors or pr (website) usually fall prey to disbanding sooner than later. I wont make any rash judgments for now, but from experience thats what tends to happen. I hope that you guys can pick up other players, get a good practice environment, sponsors and get a solid team going. Good luck with the SC2 division. | ||

Thank you  As someone who works to improve Quantic's PR and marketing, I take full and personal responsibility for the current state of the website. Rest assured that we identified the website (and more widely, our image as a whole) as a weak point quite some time ago, and we're well on our way to replacing it with something much more fitting and representative of what Quantic truly is all about. | ||

The only thing that concerns me is the practice environment. I can assume that SaSe now has a decent salary, which he deserves, and we will now be able to see him in big foreign tournaments, which is awesome. But will he be able to stay and practice in Korea? | ||

Regardless of the financial details, I think Quantic just made an excellent deal if they are intending to expand their SC2 presence. Judging from this thread, a lot of people (including me) who previously did not know about the team, now do. In fact, now I want Quantic to do well The only thing that concerns me is the practice environment. I can assume that SaSe now has a decent salary, which he deserves, and we will now be able to see him in big foreign tournaments, which is awesome. But will he be able to stay and practice in Korea? SaSe has chosen to remain in Korea to practice, and his decision has our full support. You can, however, expect to see SaSe at many different international events throughout the coming months. | ||
