Can someone explain to me all the hate for Desrow. I understand he's a not an elite player by any stretch but he is an above average name for starpower so it makes sense to have him on your team from that standpoint.

... it was a terrible joke in poor taste, however, a great way to get publicity about the team and I guess, the old joke about "There's no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary" is still as true today as it ever was

I enjoyed the april fools made me giggle. I'm also really happy desrow found a team! I hope he does big things this year.

What a joke of a PR stunt.

In a community where this has actually been a problem in the past (see AZK, Virus, etc) it's extremely poor taste to use this to garner attention.

Congratulations, you used a cheap trick to gain some attention, most of it negative.

I'm expecting an apology thread for the bad taste soon.
Also, quoting myself from the original thread:

Yes,i would also want a team where the 1st news out on TL is about it not paying its players.

Very unlikely to be a joke, and if it is, their management is really sucky.

- He has a history of bm
- Some don't like big ppl
- Has numerous brief stints in various teams
- He wasn't very good when he started streaming


but obviously Eclypsia has seen his improvement since he has improved immensely from before.


so GL to them both.

Edit: I know some of you are young, but honestly lighten up. People familiar with the internet + april fools... should really expect any news after 12 to be fake or just suspicious on april 1st... Take it easy.

Edit 2: and GL with the rest of the people picked up!

Fooled me well, good job in that part however I'm not sure if this will have any positive effect at all, or how much negative it will have.
None the less I'm glad to see a new team and well played with the april fools!

Quoted for truth. This industry is so fragile and still growing, coupled with the fact that these problems have actually affected the community severely in the past, it's borderline insulting to have chose to use this method as a publicity stunt. In one way it has succeeded, it has made a very strong impression on me, a very poor disgusted one.

Bad joke- Yes
Its April, so all jokes arent going to hit home. Im sure they realise they took this joke a bit too far. I hope the team and the website does well nonetheless. The more the merrier.
But yeah, you might wanna reconsider using these sort of stunts in the future, the community is pretty scarred by likely events in the past.

"he plays for eclypsia"

"eclypsia? isn't that the team that got their own player to call them illegitimate and fraudulent so they could quash accusations of being a fake team?"

"yah... thats the one"

Using the one thing that really makes the SC2-community special (the empathy/caring) for an idiotic publicity stunt will bite your ass at some point.

Well played indeed, but a really f'd up sense of humor.

People on the internet stand behind players, especially when they get screwed over. I figured that it most likely was an April Fools, but is it really fitting for a team trying to portray themselves as professionals by playing with people's good intention and concern for helping out someone in need?

Yeah the April fools joke was a terrible, terrible idea IMO. It did absolutely nothing that this thread by itself wouldn't have done (give publicity to your team.) and it made tons of people feel bad for Welmu and speak bad about your company. I even said in the other thread if it turns out Welmu is in on it I'd be pissed. And I am.
