Is Liquid even considered an NA team?

It was founded by Nazgul (Netherlands) and only 2 of the 8 players on its roster are from NA. The only thing NA about Liquid is the website/business side of things where they're based out of New York, if I''m not mistaken. If anything it's a European team.

EG and ROOT seem to be the only leftover NA teams that get any publicity.

Complexity and Quantic are pretty big no?


Oops. Was about to edit my post to include them. You're right.

They've been around closer to 8-9 years I'd say. I'm assuming you're trolling.

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.

Took me ages to realize Check Six and Six Jacks aren't the same team.

Only memory I have of either of them.

Which one had Major as a star player and Artosis as a coach?

Wow that's really too bad 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 really, really like Curt. 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
