Huge sponsor to pay lan travel for Gumi and Super I guess. This is definitely worth taking note of. They spoke of libriT being like a big sponsor or something, working on an open source website. But the fact was that the guy interviewed was one of the only two persons in that company. I'm not sure guys... well, all the best I guess, I just hope the Koreans know what they're getting themselves in to. | ||

All the questions that had to do with "so what are you plans for..." this guy basically just said "well we don't really know, but we'll see what happens." LOL that's not a good plan :/ One can hope after the koreans they picked up, they won't have a hard time finding help for that. That would seem easier than if this was a team of completely unknown dudes I feel.... | ||

Hopefully I'm wrong about that, though. I will seriously buy a bottle of whatever French alcohol they're sponsored by if Super and Gumiho are able to go to some tournaments and start doing really well again. I second this......I bet french alcohol is good too | ||

As for the answers we got... still a mixed bag, really. Some good, but mostly cloudy and inconclusive... and this family office... until the members of said office are made clear, it will forever sound shady. I wish the players the best. | ||

Some stuff in it: GenjiTakya (aka Risk), Quent (who gratified us of a wonderful 1st post on TL meaning I'm hard in french) and Theo have the same potential as Gumiho, DRG or Super for their manager. Their alcohol stuff/familiy office sponsor no longer sponsors them. According to Inv staff he still donates since it allows him to deduct a part of his donation from his taxes in his country. Their finances are set up by these donations, Librit which is a 3 man B2B company that employs one of Inv managers and Inova entertainment. More sponsors to come. The koreans want to play in Korea and since Inv is popular in Asia (according to the itw) they'll stay there for the moment. Problems with KeSPA prevented their koreans to play as mercenary in PL. The itw was done by Corto for Millenium, you can follow him on twitter here: https://twitter.com/cortesmaltose | ||

 The complete interview is a bit long for a full translation, but doesn't sound that bad. Yes, their "family office sponsor" is leaving, but new sponsors have been signed and 2015 year is secured. They are actively prospecting new sponsors, with ambitions for MOBA/FPS teams (HOTS and CS/GO named) in 2016. The new sponsors for 2015 will be presented on their korean shirts for their next matches. For the koreans staying in korea, 2 messages in the interview: - their initial plan was a team house in europe with all their players, but WCS rules for 2015 somewhat changed the game. - they still intend to have koreans in international tournaments in 2015, next target for international participation is DreamHack. | ||

Thanks for the summary and translation (to both of the posters above me!) I hope that information like this will continue to help people to feel less skeptical and more welcoming and embracing of the team. It makes me feel that way, at least. Which is good, because I really want the best for these players, too. | ||
