I'll be rather upset if they make some sort of apology for this as it's completely unnecessary. The vocal part of the community posting here is completely idiotic. They got trolled on april fools and they're pissed about it. You'll do fine, especially with your pick ups.

That was an absolutely great April Fools in my opinion. The only reason it didnt fool me is because I didnt see it in time but I would totally have been got. Having a lot of trouble understanding the backlash against it to be honest, surely these guys are good guys for gaming given the fact that they ARNT screwing their players around. People are getting more annoyed at them for this than they do at teams and organisations who actually treat players badly.

I'm having a hard time understanding this opinion that everyone who thinks this was a joke in poor taste is automatically someone bitter about getting fooled by it. By the time I read the previous thread it was full of people listing out the reasons it was an obvious april fools joke or people saying if it was all a joke, it was a very bad one. Maybe I'm missing something since I wasn't there from the begining and thus, never had a chance to be fooled but I still think it was a very poor joke.

Granted, where I grew up April Fool's day jokes were supposed to "fool" people but do so in such a way that everyone could have a laugh about it afterwards. Perhaps that's why I find this so stupid.

Quite the opposite actually. Mature people know not to joke about such things in a proffesional setting

I will say, this is a whole lot funnier if you didnt get caught up/read about the drama beforehand lol Seems like the joke is much better in concept.

I hate April Fool's Jokes in general anyways, they are either A: Obvious and mehfunny, B: Bring you up then tear you down, or C: Tear you down and says "JK LULZ".

Wont be supporting this team. The idea for this "joke" was obvious and in bad taste. Plus all of these players are low tier.

If they had the best players in the world I really doubt you'd support them either. Your last line was just a cheap shot because you got fooled!
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

lol, great trolling. I'm just glad that no players were harmed in the making of this joke (yay welmu) I appreciate the balls to stir up a false controversy and good ol fashion esports drama for the sake of a good, harmless joke. Congrats on your new additions. I'm looking forward to Foxy's casting. I've enjoyed her casts in the past and she has a great voice and ofc is very pretty. Good Luck!

Seconded, was actually the best April Fools joke around IMO

Got to also laugh at the people raging about it, jeez some people lol. Folks shouldn't take drama threads seriously, especially when they are posted on April the the first! Honestly, in this day and age I didn't think people were this gullible.

And remember, there's no such thing as bad publicity!
Bleh.

I am among the people that think that April Fools' day is actually about fooling people. It's not just saying another random joke like any other day. That's why it is a special day. You can fool people and get away with it.

I applaud any team that is actively hiring new blood -"uknowns" as some people posted in this thread- and provides a good and supportive enviroment for them to work in. This gives hope to talented players that they can follow their dream and maybe some day become part of a bigger team or even better, make Eclypsia a worthy team to be in.

People are talking about this company/team, even if they are upset. It's good marketing, even if a few hold a grudge towards them.

I really don't think that them making a team and just posting this opening thread would give them so much feedback other than the usual "GL to..." ..
