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.

No worries bro. Skeptics gonna be skeptical.

That's fine. I'm not pretending like we are some uber pro team. Maybe it won't get there for 1-2 years... maybe it never will? However, I will say that every team started somewhere... and I also don't believe that the same 5 powerhouse teams will still be there in 5 years. If eSports fully matures into a real mainstream thing, there should be enough room for 20-30 powerhouse teams that can fully fund and support players, etc.

It won't be an immediate thing, but with a line-up with so much potential and Xeris at the wheel, I've got a feeling the team will see a significant jump for financial backing in the future. Kawaii's mindset has changed considerably since his frustrating period after release, resulting in a huge leap in performance, and he believes he can do far better still. He raised Binski up from the gutter nearly to his own level, the newbie developing the sickest splits this side of Korea. The splits will be tenfold more sick soon enough. TENFOLD. With the entire team being friends and having great synergy, relocating to be able to practice more efficiently will most definitely pay-off.

Mo'fuckin' [LighT] fighting. Binski, come to some Vancouver events with Kawaii.
