Go watch it :p on dailymotion, just find mozinor "Le mougou" (or "mugu"). It's pretty stupid and funny. It's basicly mozinor replying and talking to your uncle :p EDIT : video in spoiler + Show Spoiler + Warning : it's pretty stupid :p | ||

But i feel like all Pro Gamers should learn something from all this short-lived team's incidents by now. SC2 is not going to be the ideal scene to throw money in. It just doesn't make sense from a business point of view. It's a relatively small scene especially when you compare it to the other hugely popular games in Esports like CS:GO and DOTA2 or LOL. If i had the money and think Esports has a bright future, why shouldn't i be throwing money into the more popular games? So if somebody comes forward with an idea of starting a new SC2 team, check the freaking finances first. Is the money guaranteed. You cannot just trust the person just because he seems or sounds trustworthy ( as stated by desrow in his vlog) Look i have seen children who can lie with a totally innocent look and be oscar-worthy. So don't talk about adults. | ||

Still, you have the chance of receiving support and a salary, even if it seems a bit shady/unlikely to happen...you just say no? Well, obviously you say yes. 1% chance of having something is better than 100% chance of having nothing. | ||

 Also, this contract here (http://sc2online.com/forum/forum/news/general-news/506-new-team-apocalypse-esports-to-disband-%E2%80%8Bmanagement-considering-legal-action-against-the-teams-financier) is not so well done at all to protect the players  I hope this isn't suggestive of what the standard is in western SC2 teams... | ||

To those of you that are, I would say that you've probably been negative about every team that forms, and nobody thinks that you are smart or better than the players because you think you wouldn't have fallen for this scam after it happens.There are always people talking about how they saw everything coming. No one is impressed. The owner was in some major shit as far as i know. Match-fixing kind of shit. That's why people are bashing (at least i think) | ||
