To me that meant that you are technically part of AI but you were going be playing under Media for the NASL. I suppose, now that I look back, it could have meant Artosis approached you about it but you can't because you are part of AI. =( | ||

No, it's called a reality check. Apparently some of you are in need of one. I will be clear: just because you are on the same team doesn't necessarily mean you train a whole lot together. This notion has existed for sponsored foreign teams in BW (to a greater extent) and apparently it still applies to SC2 as well for some foreign teams. All the information is there for you guys. This is based on several interviews coming straight from the players themselves. We've made great strides since the beginning of E-Sports and more training houses are beginning to materialize. I have helped manage several sponsored teams in the past and unfortunately this is how it is. I suppose it makes sense to join a team and not take advantage of being on a team. Especially when you're the captain you would probably be smart to never interact with your teammates. You don't need to live in the same house with someone to practice with that person that's what the internet is for you can even practice with people who are across the globe. I question your credentials as a manager if you don't realize this. When Artosis was in [Media], those guys weren't just teammates. Many of them were friends prior, so it was only natural to practice a lot together, which they did. Artosis has a lot on his plate atm with commentating and the NASL. Hell, I must say its about time he found time to practice again let alone compete in the NASL. My expectations for him in that competition are very low. So now only friends can practice together? How do you know Artosis isn't friends with the other plays from sixjax you're just assuming these guys don't know each other at all. Yea Artosis is going to commentate lots of players commentate. Yea he's going to be in the NASL but guess what he has to do for that PRACTICE and who better to practice with than his new team? Wow you have low expectations that's great doesn't mean anything. I know Artosis very well and what he's capable of from BW and the beta days of SC2. He isn't a pushover, but I wouldn't call him a top player either. His popularity stems from his commentating abilities and other projects surrounding Starcraft. It's one thing to play a few hours and it's another thing to be playing the game all day. You can be the most knowledgeable person about Starcraft, but you still have to apply it and get the results. As for them training together... timezones are a huge factor. Artosis is a commentator first; player second in his free-time. Practice time will be sparse. Ok so we can't call him a top player, but thats mostly because he's only playing behind closed doors. His popularity and it's source have nothing to do with his skill level. You're again assuming he only plays a few hours for we all know he could be playing every minute he isn't commentating or never playing. Timezones aren't as big a factor as you would think. There will always be a window where people from different timezones can play together, it's nothing more than an easily avoidable obstacle. Did you read the OP? Artosis says himself he is a player first. I guarantee you that everyone who has played something first will do anything they have to to still be a player no matter what it is. Lots of coaches, announcers, or anyone will tell you they don't dream about coaching or whatever else they dream about playing. Artosis will pursue being a top player for as long as he can, because if playing doesn't work out casting will always be there. I give credit where it's due. I have my peeves with the guy, but that by no means makes me a 'hater' lmao. I remember when he commentated his first set of matches a long time ago and I was like 'what the hell Dan? Why didn't you start doing this sooner? You are much better at this than actually competing!" That was ages ago. -.- Cool, you like him as a commentator along with everyone else, but you're finding every flimsy excuse possible to down him as a player and convince people based of silly assumptions that he will fail as a player. In my eyes thats hating. | ||

Day9 wouldn't do that lol, hasn't he talked about how he's not looking to get sponsors or anything just for the sake of money, I'm sure he's been approached by damn near everyone to represent their product/company and he's denied them. That would kill me to see him do something like that | ||

When will you realize that foreigners are 100 years behind koreans in SCBW or SC2. Artosis might be able to bully some noobs in some college or community tournament, but he will NEVER be someone worth mentioning in progaming history as a player (as a commentator and advocate maybe). Has anyone seen Nestea, Foxer, etc complain about imbalance? No! Because they find ways to exploit gaps and strengthen their game. Not whine and QQ. Artosis, Idra, and most foreigner wannabes neither have the discipline nor mental fortitude, never mind skills, to compete and excel against dedicated progamers. Sorry. Meh news actually. | ||

I hope Artosis does well in the NASL under the sixjax tag. I don't get why we'd even consider it selling out, wouldn't having sponsors/a team and such only help achieve what he has been working towards? | ||

Meh news actually. + Show Spoiler + have you kept up with ANY championship games this week? They say otherwise. they are free on gomtv's site. Idk whether it is because you have some mega korean pride or what but you should really look again at the state of the game. foreigners can keep with koreans just fine. | ||
