He must be referring to http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ESET_UK_Masters_2013/Season_1 I guess, which was a couple of months ago, but JREcco only got Top 8.

GO CHECK OUT ALL JONNYRECCOS RESULTS ESPECIALLY IN ALL THE i SERIES (he took part in since he started playing,) IF YOU KNOW ANY THING ABOUT ANYTHING

can I make a bad analogy/ask a bad analogy question?

if a KR pro got caught playing for an NA pro in some minor tournaments or showmatches with some cheap change/hardware on the line, how much of a fuck would we give?

That already happened with MajOr.

Took a very long time before people got over his negative reputation.

I understand entirely, but what better way to redeem yourself than starting fresh with a "young" team and trying to right what was wronged. I have to believe that if he didn't care about what happened that he wouldn't have returned to the scene. I think he is trying to do the right thing, but only time will tell.

There's no "redeeming" when it's about frauding the community. Hell, even hackers, something that is less impactful, just completely screw up the trust people have in them.

Not to get take away from the DeathAngel bashing which I believe is completely warranted and oGaming deserves to be shamed for picking him up, but this roster is a very odd mix of lower tier players and smaller names.

DeParture being a benchwarmer Korean player living in Canada now.
KurOra, a Japanese player and an old member of a Korean clan who posts thousands of tweets and hardly plays anymore.
Ruff, who's an older cheesier American player with a reputation for cheesy play.
JohnnyREcho who has a lot of stigma being a British "patchzerg" despite showing he still has chops in HOTS.

I just don't know what oGaming wants from their players or what they plan to do with them. Do they have some goal or are they just gathering as many names as they can?

I think this is a little unnecessary..

While it is just a thread about their roster, I don't think your question of what they want from their players makes any sense. Clearly they want to become a better team and you'd be an idiot to think they haven't accomplished this, even if in the slightest, by picking up some semi-accomplished players. It's clear they might not have done a thorough background check, or cared about the pasts of certain players, but you can't deny its a serious upgrade from what they had before.

To ask about goals and plans is stupid, and of course they are gathering names, that's what teams do.

With the exception of JohnnyREcho, all of these players are older and are severely limited on their ability to improve and perform due to school or lack of interest.

What are they actually going to do with these guys? Are they just going to treat them like Koreans on NA teams in the past and just throw money at different corners of the globe until the players leaves or the team disbands?

Not as unnecessary as people who don't know how to move on from ultimately irrelevant events in the past, and more thought-provoking than that circle-jerk, for sure....

Gamegene brings up a fair point.

jonnyrecco's play vs SjoW yesterday in the ESET showmatch does still suggest he is hungry to be one of the best

Fact - If Team oGaming picking up DA was really that upsetting, shameful, disgusting, disgraceful, etc. it would be the top post in r/starcraft right now where they especially love eSports drama. It's not.

The masses have spoken, move along.

The clan name sound really disturbing, it's the same name as the multigaming french website and structure Ogaming.TV, which are non other than the organisator of Iron Squid ! (and Tales of the Lane on League of legend). It's also known as Alt Tab Productions or Pomf & Thud crew ^^
It's a french webTV up all evening 7/7 on all the best video games with some thousands viewers every days.
They already hosted english show with Soe too in Paris.

Just saying.
