Is this confirmed or you want to do that but don't know if you actually will? If you'd manage to get the name of their sponsor (if it even exists) that would be pretty interesting
We only need to schedule the interview.
Meaning no interview.
Well, in the past teams that have come out of nowhere signing really good Koreans that have no sponsors or any clear business plan have historically not done very well.
Until they can be open and accessible to the community, and prove they know what they're doing, it shouldn't surprise anyone that there will be people skeptical of their motives.
A detailed interview from Aeromi would be a good start for them, although that should have been done a while back. And if they have invested so much in their sc2 squad, they should put some effort towards their PR and social media. Their website is poorly put together, doesn't have an option for english, and doesn't even have any of these high level Koreans on their websites team section. That should have been done before the huge roster was announced. The fake twitter followers don't help their cause either, regardless of where those came from. These things don't give me a ton of confidence in their business team and professionalism.
I'd like to see them succeed since they have a great roster, but it's on them to give the community a positive impression. I hope they can prove me wrong in the upcoming weeks.

No idea why they didn't use him much. They should have at least put him in place of effort when they were up against protoss. 3-1 including a win over zest is much better than 0-6.
I'm pretty worried about this team a well, doesn't sound very plausable. I would like to know the cause behind all these players being picked up. Are they planning on playing in a teamleague? If not its just weird picking up tons of "random koreans", I mean if they were truely a strong movement that just loves SC2 and wants a strong team why are they not visible here or on reddit?
Without a purpose and a seemingly not very deep passion for the game this looks worrying.

You forgot to add "just like StarTale" after "good team" Nah seriously I think you're asking too much from them. I have a hard time imagining a team which buys followers being a good team

On the bright side. If they have money to buy followers, they will probably pay their staff and players for now.

Is this the same team, which was founded by an investor/ a company "to avoid taxes"? I remember reading sth like that not too long ago. And being "super nice" to players doesn't really mean shit. I can be super nice and still scam the shit out of people.

I do find it sad that a player of Gumi's caliber can't find a more established team. Gl to him.
When since does the meaning of fraud involve making money at all. Fraud can be done for many reasons, and it doesn't have to be a successful attempt in order to be fraud.
Aeromi, please ask them how their sponsor blindly give them money (considering their website being unprofessional, fake rt and follow so no audience overall) and what is their project to make this successful in the long term. I'm pretty sure they will bullshit you after this question.
