CS:GO is the biggest fps release in a while, it'd be a great note to start on. | ||

No, you're correct. I shouldn't have labelled Liquid as an NA team considering it's mainly a world team. Though their HQ is in NY.. As for Root, I'm not sold on them yet. Sure they keep adding players, but I'd be very surprised if they're all getting salaries, which is the foundation for a team surviving since players can't survive without a salary in the long run. Players will just use Root as a stepping stone, till they can find a team that will give them a salary. | ||

Only memory I have of either of them. Which one had Major as a star player and Artosis as a coach? | ||

Good luck to everyone who was still left on the team and the management. Sorry to see x6 go. While they were never necessarily a tip top foreign team, they were still a very strong team with a good roster. Hope everyone can find somewhere else to go. | ||

I've known him for years, even worked alongside him at one point when we were young'uns, and he's one of the few genuine and trustworthy people I've found in e-sports in the past decade. While it's definitely disheartening that Check-Six is closing and it's obviously becoming tougher for entry and mid-tier teams to stay established, this is probably not solely a result of the growth of e-sports, but likely a result of the e-sports structure itself. Teams are small businesses and as with any emerging business, it takes some luck, some skill, and the right people to make it all work out. Teams come and go as a result, and it's been like this within e-sports since its inception. It's one of the greatest and worst things about e-sports. I wish Curt the absolute best, though. He's an absolutely great person from what I know of him! Much appreciated Colin. <3 | ||
