Aside from our new pick-up, we still have over 20 community members, 2 sponsored and 10 academy players. If you take a look at the original post you can see that we do not buy-out top talent, we're more focused on developing and providing a place for competitive gamers at all skill-levels. Our uniqueness may be hard to grasp, which is why we made that video to explain our culture. | ||

I'm not trying to be mean, just curious who you actually take credit for. | ||

In Starcraft our main stories have been Glon, ToXSiK and our aspire division. However, it's not just about in-game skill. I'll share some examples with you: + Show Spoiler + "In the last two and a half years with vVv Gaming I went from being just a gamer, to a writer, to contributing over 70 articles to a major newspaper blog. I have found something to be passionate about, and have enjoyed doing it for the entire time." - vVv Blazek (Join Date: September 21, 2009, Writer and Blogger) "Since graduating college and joining vVv Gaming, I’ve evolved into an entirely different person. The marketing and representation skills that I have learned from Jerry and vVv Gaming trump the knowledge I gained in school tenfold." - vVv Paradise (Join Date: May 5th, 2009, Content Producer) "What schools have a hard time teaching is aptitude. The ability to figure out an answer that you weren't given and didn't already know is something that vVv has given me the opportunity to learn over and over again." - vVv Doomhammer (Join Date: December 11th, 2008, President of vVv) "I can honestly say--without a doubt--that I would not be the person I am today without my experience with vVv Gaming. I started out with the organization as an overly shy 16 year old, and through the organization I improved my writing abilities and analytical skill. Those improvements definitely played a key role in my eventual acceptance into the University of Michigan and I'll continue to use those abilities when I apply to law schools next summer." - vVv Nero (Join Date: April 25, 2008, Former Staff) Hope that gives you some perspective into what we've done and where we've come from. I, personally am moving from Connecticut to Los Angeles in 5 days for an amazing opportunity that wouldn't have been possible without vVv Gaming. - Rob | ||

But Sc2 is still what people here care about the most. You can gain those skills with any number of teams (and honestly, if your experience with an sc2 team trumps your college years, well, maybe you should have gone somewhere else for college. Like, the whole Aspire thing is cool, I guess. But still none of them are actually good players yet, and how long has it been? | ||

Unlike most academy teams, we didn't focus on players who were already Top-Masters when forming our Aspire division. Here's their most recent update. | ||

You've had much more successful players in the past and it always makes me sad when I see vVv being not as active in the top tier teams now and days. If I was to mention 2 players that really made vVv what it is today it would have to be Titan and NGry. For a while they were very well established among higher rated players, especially Titan, who has in fact been streaming a little if I've seen correctly. (not sc2 tho >.>) + Show Spoiler + If I was to guess why vVv "doesn't buy out talent" it's probably just mainly because they don't have the funding(not a bad thing). It's also just not in their priorities. They're looking for sustainability versus the "now", which is in my opinion, the better way to market a team within Esports. That all said, they do have their academy team which is looking to promote players to main squad if they're able to reach certain requirements. This is something that's incredibly beneficial to not just vVv as a team, but also upcoming players in the scene and shouldn't be pushed aside. It's something unique to vVv, fnatic and complexity as far as I know. | ||

All should be good with this now. As Rob pointed out, a recent forum update had quite a few bugs in it. Thankfully nothing too major, but we're having to clean up some messes here and there. | ||
