Having more informations on your sponsor would be nice. Who is he and where does his money come from (I mean when I google Stanislav Petrov I find a retired Soviet lieutenant, so I doubt it's him)? You are talking about your last sponsor being severely injured and getting married, was he the same person as this one? How is he different? You say that you didn't have a backup sponsor, do you have one now? etc. I'm sorry to ask these questions, but precising things would probably help your credibility considering your past.
Good luck to you though. I hope this time what happened last time won't happen again

Stanislav Petrov is working in the finance field of the SU-155, the biggest company in constructions in Russia at the moment. I am pretty sure he is not a retired soviet lieutenant, because he isn't old at all. He was our very first main sponsor able to pay professional players with decent salaries and support for offline events. I stated in my previous post that he returned now, therefore, he is the same sponsor. He is not a different person than before, but he has a different perspective now on how to approach the situation. The same perspective I have, which is having a single paid pro player in our roster, until we can have a backup sponsor, a secondary sponsor. That's what I meant to say by a backup sponsor.
I agree precising these things would probably help our credibility from the community considering our past, but how I see it, it really doesn't matter where do Petrov's money come from and I don't think I had to share these information publicly either. If we'd had something to hide or he'd had something to hide, it's our/his problem. But since we don't hide anything, I answered your questions which I think are many others questions as well.
Thank you for the good luck wished and thanks to the majority of you who replied here who still have faith in us. Even though we'd still do our thing anyway and retire/comeback as many times as we'd like to and consider ourselves able to, having you by our side supporting us means a lot for us and especially for AlaStOr, who will do his best in the upcoming year to bring good, quality and, never the least, entertaining games to all of you kind gentlemen.
