so kAra has left the team as well? Pity he left ESC to join a scam...he's pretty good. Same with Naugrim.

The problems with this team were well known in our small community before they signed Naugrim and Giantt.
Unfortunately because this information wasn't available in english for those players, and because no one bothered to inform them they were misled.
The "leader" of the team is just a kid under 18 years old so it's not surprising that it turned out this way.
This reflects badly on our community, but it is in-fact just a small fraction of it.

No offence, but hebrew isn't really commonly spoken language, maybe translating some stories instead of linking to them would help people more. Well, next time at least.

[edit]
i think this thread can be closed now. this was an announcement for the new lineup

I'm so glad to see this happening. While accusing nom's manager for unfulfilled promises
Me and my friends were attacked by the entire Israeli community, and especially by
2 ex nom players- blight and Plato ( aka hoolbaris) . We were accused for being gold diggers while
Nom's management was using us.
I can only feel sorry for the non Israeli players who joined this joke clan. Good luck in
Your gaming careers!!!

edit: nvm didn't read the thread

The team leader of NOM, Shahar "frAsE" Meir is not even willing to pay money for the tournament winners. I'm contacting him and he's invisible at skype, but online and simply ignoring people, should never trust in those guys.

The problem is that a lot of teams want to establish a SC2 roster but SC2 players have become really really expensive. A LOT of random grandmasters you will never see going far in any big tournament demand salaries between 100-200 (some from NOMs roster probably even more) a month.
So SOME teams start to trick the players in order to solve this problem. Its the worst way possible of course because this hurts every team with a sustainable business.
I was running a team on similar level as this lineup. Some of the players had been around for a while and knew being offered 50-200 euro a month from unknown orgas like this was pointless because 1) the money paid was still basically nothing and 2) they would most likely not ever even see that money. Then there was players who were easily tricked into signing contracts with these orgas and then ended up having no team after a couple of months and back in a worse position than they were in playing for my team without sponsors.
It's extremely hard to run amateur/semi-pro teams when people who are around GM level have higher hopes and there's no good middleground with small orgas who actually have some cash they can provide or even small things like LAN support. Eventually we just gave up with our team and tried to get those few talented players we had left into known orgas because there was nothing else we could do to save them.
After taking a break from the game for half a year after our team had disbanded I really expected the semi-pro scene to have evolved but apparently things are still just as bad. I'm hoping mainly the Swedish and German scenes will be able to build a better market so more players in the end will have it easier to focus on playing the game and improve. We really need it outside of Korea with the spread of living locations and no team houses where people can practice. Otherwise I'm sure we will keep falling behind.

Basically, the clan disbanded after this. Our manager frAsE just left. I don't have a team now so if anyone interested I could join them.
