I don't know much about the team, but I'm glad Gumiho at least has a home now, and I hope he starts performing well in the future, he's my favorite terran. | ||

Um to be fair none of those things mean they're NOT legit either. What matters for being legit is do they actually live up to their promises, and if GuMiho (and presumably Super and others) got a contract they like and the team lives up to it that's all legit means. | ||

Even if it's a man and not a company, teams who want to not look shady say who it is. Right now I think we should make bets on how Invasion will disappear (severely ill manager? sponsor lost his money because of random reason?) | ||

I think their supposed sponsor is supposed to be a private investor, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't know at least his name. If you look at Team Spectre, which just recently returned, they are funded by a private investor but we know who he is and what he does Ok, nice | ||

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. | ||

Fraud can be done for many reasons, and it doesn't have to be a successful attempt in order to be fraud. | ||

At first, I thought "Oh a few non-top koreans in a foreign team, cool for them, makes for good practice partners and all". But now, this looks like a really decent roster... and we don't hear from them, there's a lot of unanswered questions about them, missing info... Hope they don't get screwed... I want to believe Invasion is legit (knowing a few members that are nice people), but damn this isn't helping... I really hope you get to do this interview Aeromi, and that it shed some light on who and how legit they are. | ||
