Kinda sad to see one of the NA scene's better players being put on an academy team, but I'm sure HelloKitty can show that he's worth a promotion =D

Well, if American teams bothered to invest in their talents, the American scene would be better off

It's the "academy" part that I have issue with, not with where the team is based. I simply think that HelloKitty is deserving of a place on the A team given that he's one of the best NA players right now.

What I meant was, Fnatic said they were focusing on the European scene, but they had the opportunity of picking up a good American player - they got away with putting him on their Academy (thus, I assume, no salary), is because the big American teams did not even try to pick him up and offer him a salary.

But yeah, hellokitty is probably better than most players on Fnatic's professional roster atm, except for SaSe and perhaps Harstem.
mousesports, Team Acer, Fnatic!

I'll jump in on the academy discussion. I sincerely hope that being on the acadedmy is a way to get help from players on the professional roster. Maybe a player like HelloKitty already has practicing partners on Harstem level but I really thought academy meant that you would get a chance to discuss strategy and get personal help from the professionals.

unlikely, his playstyle is the exact opposite of what you want in practice games.

Most games he does macro. He does have some very strong all in builds that would be great to be able to practice against.

Teams that have a image such as EG / Quantic in that retrospect when you look at their entirety (Multi-gaming, International Competitors and have a huge sponsorship image to maintain), they are of course going to be "in it to win it". They have to do whatever they have to do in the means necessary, and if that means popping thousands of dollars on one player, they're going to do it.

Best of luck to Kitty.
