I will be following this closely. Xeris has done so much for the team during the later BW days it was insane.
I was in LighT from 2005-2007, but the screen names are so distant now... Future, hap, fog, sunn(?), fayth, schism, coolT (bud?). Man, good times. Eventually recruited mitch (aka bandit) after begging him to join us. But all the top NA teams still have their rightful place: HeRoS), team 88, etc. The competition was so much fun back then. At this time much of team canada consisted of team light members and had a strong rivalry with team america, which consisted largely of Incontrol's team 88.
Duran, good luck man. No doubt you'll do great. Back to the shadows I go...
Wow, this is like a blast from the past. Good luck to team LighT, and I hope to see some good stuff out of you! Your lineup has some pretty sick players on it, and definitely has a lot of people I would like to see more out of.
I love the nostalgia ;D I xeris/kawaii are kings among men and I know this will go great. Also on a side not this is one of the closest teams out there and I think their chemistry is amazing. GL to LighT and I look forward in seeing you guys perform in leagues
Best of luck to Xeris and his team... just not sure what to expect. No offense to the players but Fnatic is stronger team and has solid financial backing. If Xeris in it to enjoy on a less competitive atmosphere I totally understand, just unsure as to what he expects of new team and his new players.
Regardless of my doubts I wish them best of luck and hope they prove my doubts wrong!

Of course Fnatic has more financial backing ! But sometimes, less is more?!
I can't imagine in sc2's current environment with international travel, worldwide markets and tremendous costs in player housing, travel, sustainability etc., that a throwback to the old 'clan' days can be successful. A small scale team just cannot compete with the training potential, or competitive (tournament travel) potential of the major teams. It also seems unlikely if a player was to buck the odds and achieve greatness through a grass roots team that he would stay on said team for little (if any) compensation when they could be a big star on a major team. I hope to be proven wrong though because I think that if this were to be successful, it would offer a lot of motivation and excitement to players looking to become professionals but don't have the means, or connections to make it on a 'major' team.

! But sometimes, less is more?!
Although you are a NA team. Long live the old BW names! <3
