^.^ It's always good to dream, hopefully in the near future we will be able to get to that level. I think Core is a team with a lot of potential and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Go core!

Update: We will making an announcement next week with some of our new SC2 players

Pretty cool stuff. We also hope to launch our league team then as well.

I'd also like to thank everyone who submitted team applications - we've received a lot of responses and we will give you more details in an email tomorrow. You should have all received an email yesterday confirming your submission.

I wish Core all the best. Despite all the drama these people keep trying to bring to the team they are staying positive. Not a lot of things are going well in the SC2 scene so lets support these new up and coming teams instead of bashing the management based of some "he said she said" situation. Good Luck Core!

For what it's worth, two of their players (JonSnow and Carnage) are in the final 8 to qualify for WCG to represent USA. Bracket

My biggest issue with this entire process of Core Gaming lies with the "sponsors" you reportedly have.

1. Core Pro Design LLC is a company YOU made. So not only are you running a Starcraft 2 team, you are also running a major company. One of those tasks is daunting enough, I fear that both at once is nearly impossible.

2. FundSponge... Basically this is you getting money from your players to fund your team.

3. CellaFlora. Another internet start up made of people that are coding and hoping they make it big with apps. However, there is nothing to say how much they can offer you (seems very new and young) or how sustainable they will be. Never mind that the apps market is now incredibly saturated.

Finally, this entire thread being created as a rebuttal towards the accusations laid against you almost one month ago. A team needs credibility and proof of sustainability to be given a shot in leagues in SC2. No team league that involves pro teams would associate with you until you have proven those two criteria have met on a lasting scale. Which brings me to a final point:

What are your achievements? I go to your liquipedia page (not an official liquipedia page mind you but one stuck in NanoCloud's userspace) and everything is under construction. Wouldn't it have been smarter to let your results introduce you before the official introduction when you have next to nothing? It's a work in progress, creating an sc2 team. EG and ROOT weren't built in a day.

Regardless I hope my fears are unfounded, and you don't become yet another North American "team" that has a lot of talk but fizzles out within a month. However, this model looks incredibly unsustainable and more geared towards "wishes and dreams" than an actual shot at becoming a professional team.

Hey man, thank you for your concerns and your advice regarding our launch. We look forward to being an asset to the SC2 community and hopefully achieve some things to put on that liquipedia page
