Few years ago, I was looking into developing some RTS agents, there was a lot of support and some nice API for SC1, so I've tried that, but since I don't know much about that game, debugging was a nightmare, it's really nice to see there is some groundwork laid out for SC2, I'll check it out, add something if I find the time, thanks a lot for all your efforts! | ||

I guess my question would be what kind of support are you giving the players? I understand if you don't want to give exact terms of contracts if there are any, but what are you doing for them? Do they get a team house provided? Meals? A small salary or stipend? I understand gamer salaries can be incredibly low ($500-1000/month?), so it's not unbelievable for a relatively high net worth individual creating a team when the demand for players is low. However, I think the biggest tell of legitimacy is whether the players have been paid or have been receiving any sort of compensation yet. If keaneu or one of the players could confirm that, a lot of this thread will be put to rest and congratulations will be given without cease. | ||

Edit: I suppose, yes, it's possible if they are foolish and let their prize earnings go through the team first, then they can lose something out of it. | ||

I've known him for a while and he's a great guy who's super passionate about Starcraft. The sponsored players help test and work on their AI learning software for SC2. It's a pretty sweet deal that helps players like Leenock focus on just training for GSL. That's really cool, thanks for the update Rapid  | ||
