What did they do? I don't remember.


There was an April Fool's thing they did to announce new players where they were basically accusing themselves of fraud.

They also had a terrible meme contest for rage comics or whatever.

They also had the whole Dota2 team thing as well.


Sounds... weird.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Dang if that's true, that was a terrible move for him unless he knows something we don't. Is Eclypsia planning on getting their shit together soon?

Not a very wise choice to make for Sjow. EC not the best team he could've joined.

That and 4 of their SC2 players jumped ship simultaneously, three of which were "top-billing" players (Artist, Scarlett and DesRow).

In fact, since their inception in February (less than half a year), they've had 7 players leave, which is equal to their current roster size.

On the whole, Eclypsia seems to have troubles actually living up to contractual or verbal promises. That's according to DesRow and the DOTA2 team, at least.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Sjow remained more discreet after that and yet very efficient, reaching the DreamHack Stockholm‘ s fifth seat in April 2012. After a short break to discover Diablo II, he came back to Bizzard’s RTS title.


A bit late to discover Diablo II, huh? Could have done that ten years earlier.

boo, don't like this at all. I liked SjoW in Dignitas, and I don't like NaNi, so I hope he doesn't go to Dignitas, but oh well.
Wondering what will happen with this. GL


Probably making space for Naniwa, also I think SjoW has fallen of lately. I remember though he did a all-kill after he left Dignitas but resigned shortly afterwards, but other than that I don't think SjoW has done that much lately. It feels like this will be maybe his last team or so before he retire because I don't think he can see anything long lived with Eclypsia considering their history and that!

Ah that was it, thank you. Yep, seems eclypsia hasnt done the best job so far of setting a name for themselves.

We've not heard anything massively unprofessional from Eclypsia in some time now, maybe they've decided to become legitimate team now. Please spare us with your PR disasters now, so people don't feel offended by this team anymore.

Goodluck Sjow, I liked your play back in the day - would love you to start posting results again!

Look at Welmu guys, I didn't even know who he was until he joined EC and now he has been performing fairly decently. Give them a chance.

I personally feel like this wasn't a good career move for SjoW, but not knowing his reasons or anything like that, I wish him great success Like watching your play!
