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. Can you tell us a little more about Quantic then, and what they can do for Sase? Is it an American team? Are you getting a teamhouse? Is there a manager, or some sort of support system for Sase? Does he have a guaranteed contract where you pay him even if your team fails with your SC2 investment? What are the short term and long term goals for Quantic in SC2? Who are your sponsors and, and are you sending more sc2 players to Korea this year? Wow, that's certainly a lot of questions! Quantic Gaming is a largely American-based, multi-game team, with a small presence in Australia and Korea - the Korean presence being reinforced by SaSe joining the team. We've been around for some time now, and our Black Ops team, Quantic LeveragE, is one of the best Call of Duty teams in the world with two MLG victories this year. In terms of StarCraft 2 specifically, we have also been around for quite some time and our players have attended almost every MLG event this year. As you may know, iNkA has recently been invited to play in NASL Season 2, where he has posted some pretty impressive results so far. Quantic also runs "Quantic Media", a gaming media production group with a strong YouTube presence. The manager for our SC2 team is Ben "fograw" Shaver (the Ben SaSe refers to in his statement). His assistant manager is Bryan "YutZ" Guzman. Both have been part of the SC2 scene ever since it began, with Fograw being active since Beta and YutZ travelling to Korea for the first GSL Open Season. I cannot comment on team or practice houses at this stage. SaSe will continue to reside in Korea, but will travel to as many foreign events as we can send him to. SaSe has explicitly stated - both publicly and to us - that he wants to remain in Korea to ensure that he gets the best possible practice. His intentions are admirable, and we see no reason to interfere with his personal goal to be the best. I obviously cannot delve into any contractual details on a public forum  I know that you're might be concerned about our longevity, but our business model is one that aims to achieve total sustainability. This may sound cheesy, but at Quantic we believe that every player has a story. We plan on getting highly engaged with the community - in ways that have never been done so before - while at the same time, we strive to remain professional and driven in our approach. You might not know much about our current roster now, but that's something we'd love to change very soon. Hopefully that clarifies a lot for you Thanks for your reply. In what way will you improve Sases practice environment in Korea? As right now it is quite horrible.
He is in korea. He practices with koreans online. How is that horrible? It seems like the best environment to me...

Its been all over this thread. Too noisy and distracting, don't have designated practice partners, and no coaches.

You don't have to take my word for it, you can take his or Naniwas who have stated that it really sucks. As for what's wrong with it, read the thread. He likely has the worst practice conditions out of all pros in Korea, foreigners or Koreans alike.

Maybe on ladder. He doesnt have people with him or teammates that he can go up to or ask for games.

byun, mkp and bomber has wanted customgame practice with sase and i'm sure he'll get more practicepartners. but ye, the gomhouse seems to suck with the casters being loud/annoying/turning off the ac which sase does not like

they send players like iNkA and Agh to MLG
yeah yeah, i know you've never heard of them

Initial reaction: wut?
And then... What?
Dunno. Not what I expected from Sase.

woo hoo! Hopefully QXG will be willing to send more of its players to Korea to train/compete in GSL! SaSe FIGHTING!!!

Quantic Gaming has always been a really professional team when it comes to recruiting players and talent. If you don't know more about them, it's because they have always been more focused on console / fps games.
I really like the management and also most of the players inside it.
I like Kim a lot too, he's a really good player, works really hard, and a great friend.
So QxGSaSe hwaiting!! #o#;; We dont know more about them because they have no sponsors, are extremely new to the scene, have a half working, dead website, and only have B class American players (and a random Australian) besides Sase. On the stream post the host and the owner (cinergy) had NO idea what they were talking about and were lost on the most basic of SC2 scene knowledge. They seem suspicious if you ask me. You obviously have no clue what ur talking about guy. Agh, Darkcell, Inka.....all A class americans. Agh has had multiple championship bracket mlg appearances. He even qualified for Iesf and is in korea right now. Darkcell nearly qualified for the championship bracket twice and has played in several FXO invitationals (performing well might i add). Inka also was a hair away from making championship brackets in mlg competing with the best. Perhaps you should do your god damn research before you spew a bunch of bullshit all over someone's thread. You talk about QxG not being sponsored. They are spending money consistantly sending players to MLG's not to mention they just picked up SaSe. Quit spewing shit out of your mouth when you don't know shit about it and take that attitude somewhere else please.
Are you kidding me?
Your the guy with the attitude, the guy you quoted was 90% of tl's view on this. He was right with the stream host having no idea what he was talking about.
If you consider Agh, Darkcell and inka ALL A class americans there would be 50 other americans that are "A Class". The real A class americans are people like select, idra, sheth, etc etc. I personally have never heard of darkcell, have barely heard of Agh and haven't heard of inka since the beta.
I just looked at each person's liquipedia page: Agh's best performance was beating tyler in one mlg. darkcell isn't even on liquipedia and inka hasn't won anything since beta.
Definitely A-Class, right?
Of course, Quantic may have sent them to MLG. that is obviously good of quantic. However, they probably bundled them with all their fps players they had to send to - one or two extra players isn't alot.
Btw, I'd just like to re-instate that this is a great pickup by quantic, and by glancing at their website they are obviously trying to get involved in the sc2 scene more. Gratz!

But as others have said, I am not sure if this is the right choice for SaSe. But it's his choice so if he's happy I won't really complain too much.

Best of luck to SaSe. Big fan!
