so its perfectly normal when Idra or Lalush (aka. moustache) tilts a bit and starts raging. Even tho it was marineking who is like so cute and awesome you still shouldnt judge the whole team just cuz some noname on team said somthing to someone.

I feel so bad for koreans who leave their high profile teams to join these kinds of foreign teams. It seems like the teams take advantage of the language barrier and the koreans desire to go to foreign events. Would Maka really join this team if he knew that the pepe was not wemade and that this team is rated so low in the big picture?

Check the makas friend talked to him about joining team and obviously Check thinks this is good team if he wants to drag Maka here aswell, and what do you mean by "rated so low"? This team started like 3 months ago and they already got nice line up and they are sending ppl to Korea.

They should have known. The imposter that was pretending to be Pepe is a KNOWN scammer and imposter within teams. I believe the person at fault is the one that decided to recruit this KNOWN imposter. This guy's attempted to be apart of SK, ButtonBashers, and many other organizations pretending to be someone he's not.

Learn to research facts before you recruit and go through with an actual contract (aimed towards the organization).

Knowing that this is going to damage this team's credibility, I feel bad for laughing--but I can't help having a chuckle this is pretty strange stuff.

Although unprofessional, mistakes happen, congratulations to eSahara on signing Maka.

How is it unprofessional to be scammed? It reflects poorly on their initial decision but it's not like the imposter was playing games under their name and making appearances. He was still in the process of joining the team when the fraud was revealed. Unprofessional is knowing he isn't the real Pepe, representing him as such and then only once the rest of the community cries out, going back on him.

Being scammed can happen to anyone. Just ask someone who's lost a pair of headphones.

how the hell do you mix people up like that? He wasnt in the process of joining the team. He had already joined. The only way this could've happened is that eSahara probably loosely ties people together as a team. Contracts dont get signed and face to face meetings with management probably didnt even happen.


It's common for teams to sign players without meeting face-to-face. In the case of contract signing, the two parties are usually not together when the signing takes place. I don't know how eSahara got ahold of the impostor, but I'm guessing he contacted them first and expressed an interest in joining, or they contacted him under false pretenses. Either way, it's not their fault, there's only so much fact checking you can do from across the world.


If this is true, this is really bad practice. (the obvious reason aside) I would think the team management would want to meet the person fact to face, learn about them to ensure they are going to fit in well with the existing team. I would think if you end up signing someone who does not get along with the rest of the members, this could be potentially very toxic for the team seeing as how many of them live and work in such close quarters. Seems like a plane ticket is a small price to pay to avoid that type of situation and ensure a good energy throughout the team. This, on the other seems more like 'cut and paste' form of team management, I'm a bit confused by it.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

At least now we know eSahara isn't a real team and their players aren't actual employees seeing as there's no form of contract and they "hire" people without even knowing if they exist. Awesome.


There is a pretty big difference between not existing and representing yourself as someone you're not.

I'm curious about this imposter guy. If his play is okay, then why bother pretending to be someone else?

I'm not sure if this is a good choice. eSahara has some members that are very BM. For example, when MarineKing went up against Verdi on ladder, Verdi rage quit saying "fu noob." I have no respect for the team.

So i think u dont also respect EG or Quantic cause some of their players have bmd i just think u wanted to have reason to hate esahara. Well imo verdi is jerk but i still like the team

Many reasons:
1) Lets say Combatex/Deezer (who are half solid) want to join a team but are completely aware that their reputation will keep any reputable team from recruiting them--thus, act like someone else (why pick a reputable name in this case is the real question as you can just make yourself up completely and be a new person)
2) Extreme versions of padding of a resume' Some people would be good at jobs they are applying for but fear being looked over so you make some minor edits to your history. in this case the person went extreme and claimed to be an exBW pro.

3) for shits and giggles? people on the internet do some weird stuff sometimes just to say they did.
