Axiom is one of the most well funded Korean teams, yet it has one of the weakest rosters. it's always funny when someone with no experience or clue about what they're talking opens his mouth. You should go bury yourself in the desert for several years until your shame goes away (can it?) | ||

As to the question "Why not hire more players?". Well for one, why? Where are all the team leagues to justify a larger roster? We have practice partners in KeSPA that we work with, so its not like all practice is internal (one of the advantages of not being part of Proleague is that Proleague teams want to use our guys to prepare for matches, you'd be shocked who we've beaten in secret  ). If we went for Proleague it'd be with another team anyway, we'd never bolster our roster that much to go it alone, it's just financially irresponsible. There's no reason for a non KeSPA sponsored team to have a big roster anymore. Anyway, our house is at capacity, we have MMA, Patience and TRUE playing in the house plus our 5 guys, we're full. Axiom to me is about long-term roster development. If my players are slumping, its our job to get them out of that slump, not fire them and replace them with whoever is winning at the time. That's not how you maintain team morale. | ||
