Anderson Barrett was boosted to GM by myself and a few others. So you boosted from bronze to gold and the "few others" got him to GM? Is it possible to boost someone to GM without being in GM yourself? These are the questions we must ask ourselves. | ||

Dude, just leave while you can, no one on here believes a word you say. Not to mention the sponsor you had isn't a real person and your LoL team was made up probably while you were getting that REM. You brought this on yourself, and you look like a pedo. | ||

Why are you still trying to play victim?! Why would there be a pro LoL team that makes Kelly 200,000 a year when they don't even have a working website??! If you google "visionary gaming" and LoL you get NOTHING. Just a couple of forum posts.... | ||

I've been sitting at my computer for the past 20 minutes trying to figure out how you manage to be this brainless merely by nature and not on purpose. I can't even comprehend why you're trying to play the victim at this point with so much evidence against you. It's gg no re, bro. Best of luck to sMi and their players. A lot of them have talent. sMi hwaiting~~ Also, reading this I can't help but think DirtyBirD and rei should have blown the whistle a bit earlier. I read along and went "red flag" more than a few times before DirtyBirD said he ran background checks. Frankly, I think that should have happened as soon as he said he wanted to sponsor you. It just seems like the safest route to any sponsorship or anything involving money. I understand how busy the managers were, but hopefully if/when they nab another sponsorship proposal they do their research first. | ||

He claimed to be the account Anonymous/STxSouldbyun on NA ladder just because he was on the account and I knew it was Neeb and told everyone he's a top 16 grandmaster. Can we get Neeb to confirm this? Not sure why he would let him on his account other then paying him money. He's lying right now by saying he's leveling other peoples acc when its not really even him who's doing the leveling. BTW if you want to deny this. I already have proof and I have others who can confirm this. #realtalk | ||

So obvious it was bullshit early on :p it's easy to point out when you have the facts laid out all infront of you like this. I'm not going to lie, in hindsight we were very naive. The single and most important factor that made us believe in him was that he spent 2 months of gaming literally 5-7 hours a day with a couple of us on skype. We very grew close as friends and had no reason not to trust him. He also never asked us to put any money in it (minus nanocloud boosting his account); we weren't losing anything really because at the time sMi had nothing (money, sponsorships, top tier players, etc). This is a very sad thing to happen, but I did get to meet a lot of incredible people and have learned worlds since the beginning of this whole ordeal. I am confident sMi will stay strong | ||

Only thing he can do to prove his legitimacy is stream himself playing some games with a webcam. Everyone else can choose to believe every word he says blindly if they choose. He dodged last time real hard. Also he is good friends with Neeb. | ||
