In what way do we look shady? I'm not invalidating your concern, I just want to make sure we don't come off in that way for anyone else, and something that we can address. If you're not familiar with Splyce, we've had some pretty big success in other games (Worlds in league of legends, grand finals of call of duty championship, won Blizzcon in WoW)

Keep in mind, our scene has made a lot of bad experiences with shady teams/team owners so... "new" professional teams picking up big name players will always have to deal with these kind of comments.

Totally fair. Looking forward to getting our brand known in SC so there isn't that worry in the future

Whenever a new organization comes up in SC2 there is some healthy skepticism. The fans have seen more than their share of high profile explosions where players went reportedly unpaid and teams collapsed unceremoniously with worse than PEA levels of 'he-said / she-said' back and forth accusations so people tend to be understandably gunshy. Hell I think it happened twice with Quantic.
Anyway Splyce is a legit team with real fingers in other scenes so it looks positive from my angle, very much enjoy seeing the pickups and should be fun to watch in 2017!

bypLy, we all share your concern, but at least we have someone from Splyce willing to communicate with us on TL forums.
And their rep, Lazerchicken, seems to be on the up and up. He responds to our concerns, and addresses comments like yours.
I too am normally skeptical, but I have a good feeling about Splyce. They aren't an overnight team that appeared from the forest with a bag full of money. They slowly expanded into different franchises, and to me that is a good sign.
What I've noticed from many of the failures is that they tried to expand too aggressively, thinking that the ecosystem can support their expansion. I would like to see what else Splyce does before I drop the gavel and pass judgement.

Appreciate all the feedback and the willingness to give us a shot. I hope to be looking at this forum a year from now with lots of growth for us in SC2 and a good track record for the year. Looking forward to a great 2017!

Splyce going in heavy, good!

Stats and Solar are awesome players and also awesome streamers on twitch. Splyce just needs one scary terran and maybe a sub and they can win any team thrown at them.
