I guess this is why teams like to give vague statements on players leaving teams? Just look at the backlash they get when they try to be more specific.

He's been in Korea for a very very long time now and has not produced anything noteworthy. It makes perfect sense to separate on eSahara's side.

<3 Artosis btw

He hyped Carn during the first GSL, when Carn wasn't even a master league player. Carn got a small fan base, and this is the only reason he got in a team.

He trained a lot and he's still far from being a top player. I'm not sure what his background is, but you need at least 2-3 years of RTS experience to become a top player.

With eSahara adding more players, they probably had to make a decision here. They made a honest post about it and people are raging at them ... next time they should just write a fake statement without any details at all.

Edit: Carn made a bad decision to go and train in Korea at his skill level. Until you're GM on EU or US, there's no reason to do that. There are lots of players below GM level who train daily as hard as Carn, and they get no attention at all.

If there's anyone to blame for this situation, it's Carn. No one forced him to give his personal life and move to Korea.

To say you released cArn because he lacks motivation seems dishonest. You can say he hasn't produced results, or hasn't really been apart of the team, or doesn't have the talent, but to question his dedication seems insane. Perhaps his dedication has waned recently, but not going to GSL qualifier because you're going to get stomped doesn't seem very conclusive.


Even if he lost in the GSL qualifier, it was good advertisement for eShara to have a player represent them. People would have talked about him in forums, etc.
He refused to do that, so what exactly does eSahara gain from having him in the roster?

and wtf, there needs to be a subforum for 'x player joins x team' or 'x player leaves x team'

10 new threads a day with this bs



there was a short lived staff write up posted like twice.... for team transfers and stuff for the week. i guess they just couldnt be bothered anymore

i think people are pissed off because they said lacked dedication. they are kicking him because he didnt take part in code a qualifiers, its up to the public to decide if that shows a lack of dedication. their feelings on the matter should stay internal

I dont get the outcry really. His complete lack of results is enough to justifiy them dropping him.

As Aphasie pointed out, it really feels like this serves as an excuse to kick him out. The wording of this news ("plus que délicate", "expulsé de la GOM house,", "très décevants", "manque de motivation") is a very straight-forward effort to discredit cArn, and that's what tips me off here. I feel this is inappropriate, a disgrace.


I am afraid you're mistaken. The wording of the news on their site is perfectly professional, no discredit, no hard feelings.

I think it's perfectly fine that they released him from the team. I just wished eShara would have said 'cArn doesn't provide anything for the team so we don't see a reason to keep him around'. Saying he isn't dedicated, when everything we've ever seen from cArn scream dedication despite huge odds against him, seems like an excuse.

I'd like to have more details; and another post says that he's stopped training and his ladder rank reflects this. But they should have mentioned that in the release.

i think people here are super biased because artosis talks about carn quite often. I dont know how much carn got from eSahara, but he has not had _any_ results so far, so if he now doesnt even try to get results anymore by attending code a qualifiers, then i can honestly understand their decision.

just because he has been in korea practising (?) for so long does not automatically mean he is or will be a good player at some point. it also does not mean that esahara has some kind of obligation to keep him in the team.

just look at tlpd:
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=sc2-korean&type=players&id=3260&part=games&league=standard
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=sc2-international&type=players&id=3260&part=games&league=standard

and it should become quite obvious why esahara doesnt want to keep him..

I am surprised so many people are siding with cArn here. He refused to even attempt qualifying at a qualifier that comes every 2 months or so. That shows a severe lack of cofidence and motivation, and I see no problem with how they parted ways.

I am not going to even start talking about results here, but they might also be a part of why this happened.

Also, they cited lack of dedication, but dedication to what?

He's obviously dedicated to becoming a progamer in SC2, that's obvious. Was he dedicated to eSahara and providing them with what they expected of him? Judging by his absence from the qualifier, it doesn't seem so.

Nothing wrong eSahara did here. Not even trying to qualify shows the little tenacity cArn has left as a SC2 pro, and the value of him being on their roster.

Whoever writes for eSahara and does their PR is totally incompetent or amateurish, it was like this already in previous threads they've made concerning players they signed(horrific grammar, almost "engrish" in nature), it's also laughable how they question his commitment and motivation when he has been living in Korea for longer than any SC2 foreigner unless you count Tastosis. With his on money too for months before joining this team.

They handled this so badly, you don't criticize players you release so publicly especially in such a biased and opinionated manner. Every other single esport team out there are always smart enough to just say "part ways amicably," or "by mutual agreement." Maybe he is going to play DOTA2 competitively, who knows but they didn't need to try make him look like a bad guy for no reason other than to cover their own ass.
I have never seen a esport team that is so terrible at PR and press releases in the past decade since they started to crop up.

Good luck to cArn and eSahara in the future...

but if the OP has nothing to do with either player, I feel like an announcement like this should have been made by one of the two relevant parties, to avoid inaccuracies. There are a lot more unnecessary accusations and bias here than would have occurred if we had gotten information from cArn or eSahara.

Oh well.

It's a harsh reality, he has achieved nothing and after 16 months of trying... Maybe it's time to move on.

eSahara has a peculiar line-up for sure. It's kinda wierd that cArn just "floated" in the team for such a long period of time without gaining any achievements. Hell, I wonder how much he has even played the game, but that doesen't matter now. Strong choice for eSahara to make a decision like this and I like it.

eSahara is a business. Their obligation is to generate some sort of revenue through publicity and advertisement for their sponsors. They can't do that if a player has 0 results and doesn't try to get any (does he even play playhem dailies? IEM qualifiers? HSC Qualifiers? Nope, never seen his name there)

Sacrifice is great, but he obviously underestimated the level of skill he needs to be at when he started on his pro-gaming career.

Don't hate them for letting an average player go, they probably just let the contract expire.

If you're not good enough to even try then why are you on a pro gaming team? You should practice off a team if that's the case.

There has been a lot of drama with eSahara lately.
- The imposter scandal
- The Naama blunder
- This (But according to some of the post in the thread i kind of agree with them, not listening to Pros coach etc.)

Hopefully they can clean up their image, I personally feel they have very good intentions and ambitions.

Even if this is not the correct reason for a lot of people to drop him. You can argue that dropping him for a lack of results is enough. He has been in Korea for 1.5 years and hasn't shown anything.

He only participated in the ESWC because he was the Moroccan invite. (He went 1-4 in his group)
Was never really close to getting in the GSL if I am correct.

Why should they keep him?

Haha people hating on cArn about not succeeding... yeah he didn't succeed in.... GS fucking L.... Then again, Naniwa hasn't, Sjow hasn't, Jinro sure isn't anymore. The list goes on and on.

The list the guy made earlier about cArns dedication compared to eSaharas sums it up imo.
