And whenever I do, there's BS like this going on... sad, really I remember in 2010/11 when SC2 was brand new I was on Team Revoki, at the time a well-respected semi-professional SC2 team. I wasn't a good player (Top 8 Diamond), but a bit older and more mature than most members and helping out with day-to-day management of the team. There were many excellent players on the team, ranking from mid-master to mid-grandmaster, most of them teenagers. A lot of them had the misguided belief that they could become full-time e-sports professionals. My response to such ill-advised plans was always "Stay in School!". Maybe I said that because I was one of the lucky few who was able to turn a strong academic record in school into a lucrative corporate career. But I think I've my suspicions as to the financial sustainability of so-called "professional" teams have always been justified, especially at the lower end of the "professional" spectrum. Therefore, to make a long story short, I'm not surprised at this news. As far as SC2 is concerned, the whole e-sports business model only works for a few players at the very, very top. | ||

I know that it's really hard for non-sponsored progamers to turn down any form of support or remuneration, but if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I'm feel really bad for the players and the management who were all suckered by this idiot, but please do your homework from now on. The next time will be some pyramid or Ponzi scheme or whatever other scam if you're not careful. | ||

Did he set it all up and do it from in there? How did he even manage that? Yeah I bet the team was "founded" in a psych ward, only nobody bothered to check that fact. | ||
