Sad news, they have produced good players over the last couple years and seemed to have a good business model. These are the teams that need to start making it if e-Sports is really going to grow much larger.

They weren't that big, the community was tiny. It didn't matter if they were good at sc2 though, EG marketted the hell out of them to where it wouldn't matter how good they were. EG made damn sure that they were going to make money from them, they could have picked any players and done the same to be honest. They were picked before SC2 even came out based on their BW days. No offense to them but Machine and LzGameR weren't that good or known at BW, USA in general wasn't that good, you can say you knew them but I mean it was you and like a thousand other people, max; compare that to now.

EG picked up the 'clique' of USA players and knew they were going to everything they could to make money off of them whether they succeeded in the game or not. Proof would be that Machine and Lz haven't had any impressive results, in like forever. It doesn't matter, though. They're more than players and they make money for EG because of it. Skill has very little to do with making money in SC2 right now, and that's why it's so unrealistic to try to make a career out of SC2. If you weren't playing in the beta and marketing yourself then the ship has sailed. Without top tournament results, you're not going to get anywhere really.



You're repeating the same thing as you said before. I'm not even going to bother with explaining the merits of your scale because we're talking about personas and personalities here and this goes way back when.

If you couldn't get a good read on their personalities well before SC2 even came out then that's on you man. No one else but yourself. I've been around not only this community but all the other BW communities and Incontrol and IdrA posted a ton. Heck, BOTH of them joined teamliquid.net very frigging late. Like I said, the only thing EG did was highlight them more. What does EG do? They amplify them more through all the shows and their sponsors plugs and ads. It's a good thing for them and it's sad to see so few teams be able to replicate what they do.

I'm not arguing the fact EG is helping their push because they are. I'm saying these guys would have found success without EG because they put themselves out there all the time. They have the personality to do it whether you like them or not. They're going to chime in.

Before Geoff joined this place you should have seen how much he posted on the other websites. He posts a ton. Just like Greg. They like banter.

Good ol' WGTour. How I miss thee.

Starstruck what is your other alias, since that account you're using was made in 2010. Just curious.

You speak about the BW days as if you were there for them, do you have an alternate account? This one is from 2010

According to a pm he sent me a while ago, he managed some people like Day 9 or Tasteless back in the day.

I joined TL late? This is my 2nd account and I believe it's from 2004 o-O the other one (banned) was from 1-2 years before that.

A sad day indeed. xSix had a special spot in my heart. Hope all members of the now disbanded team find another place in the scene that fits them. Good luck guys.

-_-

A few of them. You guys have to stop referring to that crap, team, post count, etc. I've been here since the beginning man and I do recognize you from posts past, which makes it a little more cringeworthy when you try to pull that card.

I almost forgot you got banned. I'm talking about the time you came and went on that huge went on that long posting spree for months on end. I remember that, I don't remember the other shit, but I could take a wild guess.

In either case, guys like you and Greg push yourselves and what you do on your own. Not to say a team like EG or their sponsors don't help because they do.

Before that you most certainly posted a ton on places like WGTour, GG.net, etc. I really don't remember you posting a whole lot prior to that. Probably to defend your [Media] cronies. o;

Really sad. Check Six is such an oldschool team. Always loved their Counter-Strike division and the SC2 team was pretty cool too.
