On the 31st of January, through a series of cryptic clues, I announced to the SEA community that I was going to be personally sponsoring and managing a professional StarCraft 2 team consisting of players from Australia. ![[image loading]](http://sea-play.com/invidia/announcement/TL_Launch_post.png) On the 11th of February, we announced 4 of the 5 players in our line-up.

![[image loading]](http://sea-play.com/invidia/announcement/TL_deth_post.png)
And as of today, March 8th, I'm pleased to (finally!) announce the 5th player in our roster.![[image loading]](http://sea-play.com/invidia/announcement/TL_mOOnGLaDe_post.png) Although the team originates in Australia, our goals aren't SEA focused. We intend to get actively involved in the global scene, starting with a trip to America later this year. We're going to register the entire team for an MLG Open Bracket, and we look forward to once and for all dispelling the stigma that SEA players can't compete with the rest of the world.
If you'd like more information on the team, or any of the players, there are plenty of ways to keep touch with us:

Cool. Good luck 
Moonglade is one of my fav zerg players, so wish him, and you, all the best
|
so are you guys sponsored by Nvidia?
|
|
|
Been a fan of mOOnGLaDe ever since his 4th place at IEM world championships.
Gratz and GL to the team
|
moonglade ftw
i hope he trains and gets beastly again
|
STRONG TEAM, They have obviously been drinking their milk.
|
Sick news! Good pick up to Invidia

No relation. Invidia means envy, and the clan tag is Nv (sounded out like envy) so that's where the name comes from as far as I can tell.

MLG open bracket will be though to make your first team appearance. More power to you if you can crush some face there.
|
MOPGLADE!!
Nv is so gosu!
Good luck guys!
|
Odd name, but cool nevertheless. Go deth!
|
HOLY SHIT this is amazing!!!
GL HF Andy <3

good to see you post here first
for me sc2sea is a little bit evil

Congrats and goodluck guys!

Dox you bloody troll  yay for Glade!! :D :D

Awesome team <3 can't wait to see you guys at MLG
|
I was expecting him to end up in a "bigger" team. Will you guys be sending Moonglade to Korea?

i really can't believe that you recruited Pinder and Yoonj. Pinder showed results in the BETA. what has he done since? he's so slow and has no mechanics what so ever. you're willing to send a bad player to MLG because you're friends with him. I couldn't see him getting GM on US for months. deth & glade are probably the only good pickups.
/rant
gl dox, but in the future make sure you ask someone like mafia or jazbas about who has potential and who is good in Australia. you clearly can't scout players lol

That's very kind of you to say. Thanks for constantly telling me this over the last month.

good luck guys! would love to see you in something like IPL team arena in the future

Pinder has a sick jawline so all else is irrelevant

|
|
So this has to relation to Nvidia? I mean even the "NV" is highlighted, surely the thought must've atleast crossed their mind?

Not sure if you know who YoonYJ is, you might be thinking of someone else?
On positive note really strong team looking forward to seeing them play in MLG =D!

Shit Dox i had no idea the last player was GLaDe....Y U SO TRIXY???
|
About fucking time mOOnGLaDe got a team.
That's a nice lineup.
|
LOL if this means anything, I knocked deth out of the poker tourny we had at Respawn lan, twice, in December, when he was the champion the previous tourny hahaha.
He was telling me was one of the best players in SEA, didn't really believe him... until I watched him haha. Cannot wait to see Deth play, his so gosu.

Pinder is one of the top Protoss on SEA and he barely plays this game, he's incredibly intelligent and maintains being one of the best Protoss while putting in very little time. Don't talk about shit you CLEARLY don't understand, makes you come across as an idiot. You obviously don't know who YYJ is either.
Are you seriously saying that Rossi isn't a good pickup? LOL - He has improved SO much SO quickly and isn't even close to plateau'ing. You wanna ask someone like Mafia or Jazbas about who has potential? I'd honestly be surprised if they answered anyone BUT Rossi. If Rossi played this game full time he'd be competitive at an international level incredibly so fast it'd make your head spin.
Coming from somebody who actually knows everybody in the SEA scene, shut up before you make yourself look like more of an idiot for badmouthing people you don't even know.

It's not really an accomplishment to say that you're a decent player but you barely play. Everyone would be a lot better if they 'played seriously,' whatever that's supposed to mean.
This is awesome though, I hope this team can compete in the international scene, not enough SEA players are involved in the foreign community consistently... this will be cool

That's what people do man...trying to make others live the life they want them to live. This guy is just a bit more...persistent.

SEA players could compete in the international scene, the issue is money...so far away with such a small scene = people don't go to MLGs.
Dox: the hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now.

I think what he means is not that they would be better (Obviously anyone gets better after more time) but that Rossi is already very, very good (IE GM SEA/NA, high masters KR, running amok in Aus tourneys) WITHOUT the huge amounts of time put it so it will be interesting to see how good he gets
Well i assume thats what he means

I'm confused...why does Dox have the financial backing to sponsor teams now? Does Invidia have anything to do with Nvidia?

great to see a SEA team, hope they can participate in online-teamleagues at least!

no offense meant, but I was expecting GLaDe to go for something more "international", good luck to all of you though, will be cool to see more elite Aussies around
|
|

Worst team name ever? Doesn't make it seem very serious.
|
Wow. Congrats Dox! Goodjob at making the SEA scene alive.
|
moonglade, moonGLADE! MOONGLADE!!!! Yeah... GLGL ^__^

Invidia in an MLG, awesome

Wow awesome news for all the guys, and for all us Aussies. Now we really have something to cheer for! GL, and I know you'll have fun

Also good to see glade back on a team, and hopefully competing internationally again

I'm wondering, if this team name could cause some legal trouble if they want to participate in tournaments sponsored by NVIDIA.

On the contrary I think Nvidia will be quite happy with the free advertising. It's like they've sponsored a team without paying anything.

I hope you realise the word "Invidia" has been around a loooooooot longer than the company "Nvidia."

This is cool! I don't like the name choice (like others have said, Nvidia?) but I really hope SEA (or, I guess more specifically, Australian) players can show that we got dem skillz.
Pinder is one of the top Protoss on SEA and he barely plays this game,
This is a weird boast, if he can be a top Protoss and barely play it shows that no one else on SEA is really taking it seriously  And I can't tell from the original post, but it doesn't seem that this has changed? Do the players get paid to play the game full-time? SEA's major fault is that it's players can't put in the effort to go full time because it's extremely high risk and low reward, plus you have to catch up to the rest of the world in terms of practice hours put in. If Dox is solving this issue... Things look good. Otherwise, it's really just a swift departure from the MLG Open Bracket.
Wish you guys the best!

I was going to be personally sponsoring and managing a professional StarCraft 2 team
...and who are you, if I may?

Hell yeh aussie pro team. I will be cheering them on at any tournament they pop up in. The team name makes me think of graphics cards though.

Makes sense. Sounds good. Good team for him.

Sure but you could have chosen some other oooooold word, such as "Team Razor" or "Team Steel Serious" to avoid the connection to a well known gaming hardware company like Nvidia.

Hope you consulted with a solicitor before settling on that name. Just because that word has been around longer doesn't necessarily mean it isn't IP infringement.

Dox is easily one of the most well known 'making things happen/money mover' guy that SEA has. You may remember the Dox Cup #2 which was a fairly entertaining watch but he has done much more. I didn't realise there was such a dramatic increase in funds though.
Apart from sponsored flights to MLG, I'd love to know additional details.

I agree that Pinder is one of the top protoss while barely playing this game. But i would like to see pinder being more active, both in tournaments and in ladder. Before i say that he is deserving of being in a pro team.
I think that him being the best Protoss that is not in a team is true then.

Kick arse news. Congrats to all involved and especially Dox as he seems to be fronting some serious coin. Hope you have a great showing at MLG and pick up some sponsors and invites to team leagues. Does this mean we will see glage in NASL season 3 and maybe some more invidians?
Edit: Woot 50th post on the best possible thread :D
|
Whilst I was basically as shocked as anyone else to get a chance to be on this team, it's also the reason I decided to return to playing and putting time in to being the best player I can be for the first time in a long time. I 100% agree with the criticism that I haven't been active in however long in sc2 and that still getting results without practicing isn't something to boast at all, but to be frank I've been given opportunities by this team I thought I would never have being from Australia. I look forward to silencing anyone who thinks I plan on just lounging around and being happy and coasting to top 8 in Aussie events like i have been the last year .

Oh hells yeah, looks like a sick team! Can't wait to see how these guys go, looking forward to some good games. ^^

sexy moonglade to hold the team together

A talented squad made all the more scary by the addition of moonglade, Pinder's a wildcard but you don't make a splash by making only safe bets. GL! Can't wait to see how these guys perform in 2012.

So FXO is now an all Korean team? Saw this coming a while ago. Good luck to you guys.
They still have SLoG and OpTiKzErO.
And now they have the imba.FXO players too, such as HappyZerg, Strelok and Brat_OK.

Congratulations it is great to see an Australian team
Good luck in future events and endeavours!

I don't like the name choice (like others have said, Nvidia?) but I really hope SEA (or, I guess more specifically, Australian) players can show that we got dem skillz. Pinder is one of the top Protoss on SEA and he barely plays this game, This is a weird boast, if he can be a top Protoss and barely play it shows that no one else on SEA is really taking it seriously And I can't tell from the original post, but it doesn't seem that this has changed? Do the players get paid to play the game full-time? SEA's major fault is that it's players can't put in the effort to go full time because it's extremely high risk and low reward, plus you have to catch up to the rest of the world in terms of practice hours put in. If Dox is solving this issue... Things look good. Otherwise, it's really just a swift departure from the MLG Open Bracket. Wish you guys the best! Pinder beat IdrA. :D
What Protoss hasn't beat Idra though?

Moonglade always seems like a chill and respectable guy. Wish him, and the team, the best~!

What, sickest line-up! Looking forward to seeing them play in the GSTL, one the most talent-filled team in the world right now. Good luck to all of you!

Absolutely awesome. Pretty good lineup that i can't wait to see play. I assume most if not the whole team will be down at the ACL in Sydney so not to long to wait. MLG will be really interesting and a great goal for the players as well. Would love to see a deep bracket run and some pool play. Going to be brilliant

Because it can be difficult to compete in highly visible events without sponsorship, there aren't that many open events with high visibility, or with SEA qualifiers. The last international tournament with SEA qualifiers was IEM Kiev, and he dropped early in that. He won an Australian LAN in January, and the first round of qualifiers for another in the same series last week or so, so he certainly hasn't been inactive in terms of Starcraft. He's also still alive in NASL but season 3 has yet to start up, so that might be another reason why he hasn't been on the radar.

new favourite team : > glhf guys

Really hope to see more of Moonglade. He can be one of the top foreigners when he is on his game, but its been a while since I have seen him in any tournaments.

Awesome team! good luck to you all

This is awesome! GL in the tournament season in 2012! I look forward to seeing more SEA players battling it out in MLG!

Don't you guys think there's going to be serious branding issues here with Nvidia? I know you are just starting out, but its a really serious issue you should handle right now. Apple tried to sue Wapple based on confusion of branding etc. When you approach sponsors and people who dont know you're team, you are going to have this conversation over and over and over again, create confusion for fans, create confusion with brand partners, press, everyone. Just fix it now before you get going.

good collection of australian talent.. gl mates
|
Good Luck! It is really cool what Dox does for the SEA scene. He really seems like a great community figure. I hope to see some of these players in more tournaments now
|
Sick, I'm so glad to hear of worldwide aspirations for Aussie gamers. ESPORTS!!! AUSTRALIA!!!!!!

Have to agree with Kennigit completely on this issue. While it, in all technicality, is not a trademark infringement everyone is going to believe you're in some way affiliated with Nvidia. If you choose to stay with it just know that if you don't end up with sponsorship from Nvidia themselves you're going to find it difficult to gain sponsorships from their competitors due to the confusion it would create.

I know you're being constructive and i respect that, but I completely disagree.
If Dox was going into production of Graphic Cards, then yes, i'd call that copyright infringement, or if he decided to use the Nvidia logo or tried to associate the team with Nvidia then i would call that infringment.
The name is also used for other various companies too. I'm sure Graphics Card Nvidia never tried to sue Exhaust company Invidia or visa-versa.
I don't think any serious issues would arise from the naming of team.

I honestly haven't come across that yet, and more often than not, the team is being externally branded/described as Envy (Nv), rather than Invidia, which was my intent.

I think youre kinda missing the point, which of his is valid.
EG: I don't think we'll be getting sponsored by ATi any time soon with the name "Invidia" for the most extreme example .

Moonglade is finally back on a team :D
|
Awesome to see some Australians trying to make a name for themselves
I agree with Kennigit though, change your name now before you get started. It's only going to be trouble.
|
Good to see you guys reppin da island!
|
|
|
Really sick team, gl guys.
I also think you should change the name, it really shouldn't affect you guys too much currently as you're just starting up ><.
Just my opinion though, all the best!
|
ohhh goooddd!! love it!!! aussies fighting!!!!
|
|
|
Yeah you guys totally ripped off that company ...
T_T
There is no way any copyright has been infringed. Just confusion with people who think Nvidia (the graphics card company) picked up some players and added an I to the name.
|
If anything, Nvidia gets a bit of free advertising out of this
|
Totally agree with Kennigit.
I'm seriously surprised about you guys who are acting like you're lawyers and saying it's not trademark infringement. If any of you actually are, perhaps it would be a good idea to state that, so we can take your opinion a bit more seriously?
IMO it is far from clear cut that there's no infringement. I'm no IP lawyer either, but it's better to be safe than sorry right? Allow me to link some things that might be of some interest:
A chapter out of a book by one of Australia's best IP lawyers, SC Shane Simpson:
http://www.simpsons.com.au/wp-content/uploads/music_business_3_chapter_011.pdf
Before you say, "wait that book is about the music industry", just read the first 3 pages, and ignore anything that specifically relates to music. It applies to any branding, so just extract the key statements from it.
Here are some particularly interesting parts:
"Don’t assume that you don’t have a problem just because the other user of the name is in a different business or in another geographical area. They may well have the right to stop you from using the name."
"If your searches reveal that someone else is using a name identical or even similar to the one you want to use, be careful! Don’t assume that ‘things will be all right’."
"In the general law, there is an action called ‘passing off ’, which prohibits any party from misrepresenting itself (or its goods or services) as though it was another. In other words, it prohibits the false appropriation of the other’s reputation."
Trade Practices Act s53 regarding false representations:
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/tpa1974149/s53.html
|
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure I've read about cases where the fact that consumers were confused by the name was used as an argument that there is an infringement.
This thread (and the sc2sea one) shows pretty clearly that both Invidea and Nvidea's target audience do confuse the two.
|
Those of you asking where moonglade has been, he recently won ACL Gold Coast, and will hopefully be at ACL Sydney on April 21-22. ACL site: www.aclpro.com.au
|
Is this affiliated with nvidia / is it their team? That seems kind of huge if they are sponsoring a team now
|
wow, good to finally see a pro Australian team. Hope you all do well at MLG!

That's silly. You're a team of people who play computer games. Your name is phonetically identical to the name of a company that is heavily invested in the computer games industry. Most of your viewers will come in contact with your team through computer game related media, and will make the connection straight away. Any number of posts in this thread prove that.
You're not going to make that go away by pointing at the auto company and smirking. That's completely irrelevant. It's not even about copyright, it's about the immediate reactions of the people who see your clan name, and the fact that there's no way in the world another gaming company will sponsor you when you're representing Nvidia for free and without their permission at the same time.
Just save yourselves the pain and change it. You're adamant that most people call you "Envy" anyway, so why not make that official?

Pretty much agree with this.. Its all good and well to point fingers at other companys/organizations with similar/the same name, but nvidia is directly related to the industry you are in..
Its the equivilant of a racing team calling themselves 'Team Firrari' without ferrari's permission and not using ferrari cars, saying its unrelated or doesn't make a difference..

This is the main problem with the name imo (not copyright). It just creates confusion and 99% of people will assume it's associated with Nvidia. Most of your fans aren't going to be latin majors.
|
Since everyone seems to disagree with the name due to confusion, why not re-work it into another name that still meets the team's desire :D
Why not use something like Envasion or E/Invysion? It can still keep the Nv name tag which i think is cool imo :3

You could always ask Nvidia if they're willing to sponsor ;D

No disrespect intended to your new team (fan of Glade here), but I'm finding it kind of hard to take you seriously Dox, when you shrug off so nonchalantly these important and valid issues that people are raising. Do you really think a judge is going to find statements like these:

Did you really not seek legal advice before entering into this setup? If not, that concerns me, because it conveys to me that the team isn't being set up and managed in a professional manner.

For the record, Nvidia is fine with it. And no, I absolutely did not seek legal advice. I'm shrugging these "issues" off nonchalantly because they're not really issues at all.

Why are you quoting the Trade Practices Act?.. LOL - Misrepresentation is about, saying a product will do X but it doesn't. Not, making a product look like another to trick you into associating the other brands reputation with the new product. Anyway, that is quite common in business. Look at how copycat brands align themselves with the industry leader next time your at the supermarket.
For the record - I Study Marketing and Business Law (about 6 weeks from Graduation).
There is ZERO copyright infringement involved in the team name.
While it can be presumed that ATi aren't going to sponsor this team any time soon - the word being used here is Invidia - Latin for Envy... and the team abbreviation is Nv... not Nvidia - additionally the teams colours (Red and Gold) are not similar to Nvidia (Black and Green) so there is zero visual similarities.
The fact that you guys are all thinking of Nvidia proves how successful their marketing brainwash has been 
Perhaps you're all just envious of the awesome team Dox has put together?!
Team Nvidia is going to take the world by storm!
Good luck guys! >.<

"Team nvidia!" is going to be on a sign somewhere...and that person will be cheering solely for a graphics card unknowingly...

Good Luck nonetheless!

out of interest, Dox stated that Nvidia had no beef with the name which would suggest he/nv have been in contact with them... was there any mention of potential sponsorship in that discussion? Curious about the overall sponsor situation as well as getting to big tournaments from Australia is pretty expensive, I'd hate to see another ROOT situation happen.

I'm sure if Dox did have any discussions or any sponsorship was worked out (I doubt it) then he would announce it in his own good time. Until then I doubt you'd get details out of him if he hasn't announced it already :D

There is currently no sponsorship discussion with Nvidia.
You can track our progress & announcements (ie. sponsors) via our blog / facebook / twitter.

Good luck to this team! And most probably if this team does well, Nvidia might consider sponsorship.

If you're referring to me then, well, I was at WCG nats but Moonglade was the representative for Australia.

Cool, nice team ... but the moment i see "XX joins team Invidia" i thought "oh nvidia is sponsoring an AU team, cool!" ... GL with your name change
|
Honestly what kind of clan name is that.. people will confuse it with the brand NVIDIA.
How do you pronounce it?

How does this stop any confusion with the NVIDIA brand?
If you're 'Envy', call yourself eNVy ...
If your Invidia, well, call yourself Invidia, but dont expect people not to be confused with the already established brand Nvidia (one of the biggest chip manufacturers in the world with multi million $ marketing wheels whose purpose in life is to make their brand recognised above all others .... even small starcraft 2 teams ...)

Grats on your sponsorship! It's great to see more companies supporting ESPORTS.
|
That's a really weird name choice. Pretty sure lots of people will wrongly assume nvidia is sponsoring you guys
|
|
|
ooh, nice, hopefully this can make the SEA community more visible on the international stage! Do you have anything specific planned regarding what you will do as a team?
Edit: my brain is retarded and didn't realise my question was already answered in the OP. Also I am 1 month behind in the news
|
Great news
Best of luck practicing with your new teammates nv!
p.s. my vote for the team name would be "Team I Have Many Leather Bound Books" (Example: IHMTLBB_MOonglaves)
|
glhfgg mOOnGLaDe, all the best with the new team!

Whoop Whoop make us proud guys! :D be watching/supporting you all the way ^_^

For the record - I Study Marketing and Business Law (about 6 weeks from Graduation).
There is ZERO copyright infringement involved in the team name.
Lol. You think doing a business degree which includes a couple of business law subjects qualifies you to make calls about what is or isn't IP infringement? Especially when your degree is from a below average uni like SCU?
Well, you're right about one thing. There is no copyright infringement involved in the team name. Because copyright has nothing to do with protecting organisations' names.

Uhh thanks for the month and a half late bump with a useless comment....
|
Regardless of copyright or whatever, why confuse people?
It's a bad name just admit it, why would you choose a word that could be confused with a potential future Starcraft sponsor?
Why did nobody part of the organization bring this up?
/facepalm
