Nothing about the sponsorships/partners or salaries for players?

At the moment we'd like to keep most of that private, especially the salaries/deals. It would be inappropriate to discuss things like that here.

Even still, nothing about your partner/s? Apparently you're going off of partners and not sponsors right now right?

Shouldn't people know about who powers sMi before they can decide to support them or not?

Sure, people can like your players as individual gamers, and it's good to give credit to your staff, but why should people like your team? What if your partner decides to stop partnering with you or says "oops, my pocket ran out of cash"?

Ofc I hope your team is awesome, and I hope that SC2 can flourish and that a bunch of teams can rise to compete at the top level, but what's the point of supporting a team that won't even reveal who or how the team is being powered?



Our gear is from alienware and razer. This is all I can say. Our sponsor would like to be private. We agreed to these terms set out by the sponsor. The players and managers know the sponsor and the contracts further dismay any concerns any of us had!

EG's 2nd smurf confirmed.


3rd smurf if my intuition about Cloud 9 is correct.

that OP looks straight out of a 13 yr old girls facebook. I cant take you seriously because of it lol.

Also, 9 players, 6 managers? O.o dafuq?

I get that you guys are an old-school name so you probably get a bye, but this is more of a clan then a team.

Good luck though

Just because its labeled as a manager, doesn't mean you interpret it that way. If sMi is looking to push forward as a LLC or a company, you will have different divisions such as Marketing, player management, consultants, operations manager, etc...

You need to look at it from a business perspective not a naive one.

I've worked for Qualcomm-backed startups with fewer management positions. Perhaps yours is the naive perspective.

Good luck dudes! All the best.

So you're trying to compare/contrast a Wireless technology startup to a gaming organization. There is a huge difference between that. Thanks for your input.

Yes there is. I was comparing a $2-3MM start-up to a mid-level eSports team (that I like). There is indeed a huge difference between these two endeavors. And thus the comment regarding that much management.

You're welcome!

Again, good luck dudes.

Again, good luck dudes.

The two founders of the team are very inactive and not that involved with the team that much other than when I need to consult them for some things or when they show some support for the team.

We really only have two coaches and two managers (myself included), although one of the coaches does help with some management material. There are a number of things that need to be divided between us and that's why the management team looks that way. Furthermore, we don't just have the players listed in the OP. There are other players who are not on the starting roster that require management as well.
