You guess wrong.
Maybe that's why people shouldn't guess.
Guessing that team Dead Pixels (which about three people had heard of beforehand) doesn't have the money to pay a player like TRUE isn't strange. It may be incorrect, but you should consider simply informing people instead of being snarky about it.
"I made up a bunch of shit with no information and now I'm blaming the guy that does have information for my own stupid statement"
No, he guessed, he made that pretty clear. Making a guess based on available information isn't uncommon on a forum, and it puzzles me that you feel the need to personally inform everyone making an incorrect guess how silly they are for guessing wrong. You have the information, the people who don't would love to have that information. I don't see the appeal in making sure everyone knows that you know more than them.
You don't see the appeal in delivering accurate information?
I suppose if you hang around a forum long enough that would happen
if we aren't allowed to casually speculate and post inert opinions on forums anymore then i think i've misunderstood what forums are for
Here's an idea
Instead of posting "I guess he is not getting a salary", which implies a variety of things, including the potential illegitimate nature of his team and sponsor, you could say "Does anyone know if he is salaried?". You'd be surprised how different a response you get when you don't make shit up.
And yes guessing is making shit up, that's the whole point of guessing.
Just asking: You realize, that Zealously and ZenithM are two different persons, right? Because currently you are mixing their posts.
Yes I am well aware of this, but I'm not going to post multiple times to reply to each separate person
Ok, was just making sure, since they both start with "ze" and if you scroll through the thread fast, you might accidently just misread them as the same person.
Ofc the icons are different, but is checking the icon the first thing, that you do when quoting someone? The names are phonetically not that far apart, which is the thing you are far more likely to remember about a poster than his icon, so my worries were justified, given the content of the posts.
I actually remember all icon posters by their icon

I just ctrl+f my name to find the person who quoted me, and then quote them. :p

No guessing on the internet!!
I hope he'll be able to get a Visa to compete in WCS EU. Real pity though, he had been looking so good, and now you just know his level of play will drop off some, even though he's staying with MYI.
He'll be staying in Korea, in the Axiom team house so he should be able to maintain his level I gu.. GODDAMMIT

A snarky post (which wasn't phrased like a question btw) deserves a snarky reply.

This still makes no sense. I hope someone interviews TRUE in Moscow and asks him alot of questions regarding why he'd sign with a totally unknown team given how shady some new teams have ended up being in this scene.
I am reallllllllly curious to hear what he has to say
my guess is most korean players simply don't know that there's a huge history of shady esports practices and organizations in the west. this one at least has some sort of agreement with TB and Axiom, which means if they turn out to be incompetent or nefarious we're at least going to hear about it

And that's not so weird if you've been inside the working bureaucracy that is KeSPA for 6 years or something.
Is Deadpixel a French or Swiss team ? They recruited Elroye from nB which is kinda weird considering his level compared to True, so he must have some connections with the founder or something. I friend told me that Elroye's switch was known for months too... That's so weird.

Dead Pixel is a swiss Team. And If you think about it also mYinsanity did it: some koreans (Stardust before, then jjakji, and then Sacsri) but during this they acquired lots of local swiss players like Zervas and Niroxs. This is probably a way to have a team: some koreans that can teach and help growing foreigner

Never heard of him but how do you know that he is a player? Maybe a manager(+translator) or smth.

Elroye is a swiss player who regularly participates in french online tournaments. He won a ZOTAC last year.

He was a up and coming french speaker high GM and he's really strong. I know every players in the french amateur scene and he was in Nuit Blanche before, one of the top3 french team. He is also listed as playing in their liquipedia page. Anyway, if they start recruiting all the good swiss players left, RodG must be afraid right now haha.
