WAIT LAMIA TOO? The middle guy seen to be LOH according to reddit, no idea how true it is though. This seen more like a temporary team assembled for Blizzcon only. | ||

LoL player, one of the most controversial SC2 players, and one of the great legends of Dota is gonna draw a lot of eyes. | ||

I wish all people that play this game a lot of fun. I wish all the best to the pros that put their future into this title. Lets hope this stays a small game for korea and they never get into it like counterstrike so foreigners will stay at the top, right? | ||

I just hear "blablabla no tournement mode blablabla just casual game" and than they host tournements for games that they never created to be played that way? They are lying just like EA and other big publishers. I wish all people that play this game a lot of fun. I wish all the best to the pros that put their future into this title. Lets hope this stays a small game for korea and they never get into it like counterstrike so foreigners will stay at the top, right? It is just an exhibition match which is nothing like a full blow competitive tournament scene. If exhibiton matches equated to competitive tournaments then a lot of games would fit that bill. Not so much lying as supporting something that grew grass roots style. A lot of Blizzard games seem to follow that style when it comes to competitive (ignoring SC2). Hearthstone was meant to be a casual game with but people practically forced competitive tournaments to spawn around it through sheer force and passion. Same can be said for HotS where the community practically turned it into a competitive game by being competitive themselves which Blizzard supports. All in all I'd rather have publishers and developers supporting their games (competitively or otherwise) from the get go or along the way, examples being Riot, Blizzard, Valve, Capcom and I'm sure I missed a few others. I'd rather have that than a company that completely forsake and attempt to kill off their competitive tourney like Nintendo (Evo 2013). | ||

So this means Snowflake and Symbiote won't be competing under any of these team names. Probably not El Nexo (which is basically Karont3 eSports btw) or any of the other top teams either, then. | ||

This is definitely a passion-driven thing at heart. | ||
