So typically I have been posting these posts within the blog section in regards to my trip to Romania. I've been here with Austin "RaNgeD" King for almost 2 months now practicing and pursuing our dream of progaming. However, since our team is getting completely established and solidified, I felt as though it would be only right to make a forum post within the TL Community since not everyone wants to read a blog.
I'm going to start by jumping into the juicy stuff. Team Newrosoft has been exploding over the past few weeks. We've recruited 2 players including former LG Protoss player ReSpOnSe (R.I.P. LG) and a Romanian Zerg named Fishlips. We are also trialing 2 other players right now to see how they perform over the next week or 2. It's taken a while to actually get some players on board due to financial issues, however, Andrei "Zeroskill" Gireada was able to pull some strings and get us our first sponsor. S.A.V. security is officially sponsoring the team. Yes, that's right, being sponsored by a security company. Why, you ask? Because the owner Mark Abraham has an insane passion for Starcraft and E-sports. We couldn't be happier because this means we'll all be able to play a quite a bit more while keeping our heads in the game instead of else where or at another dead end job. 've been running in house team practices as well as giving each incite in certain areas that we're blind in. A lot of hard work and studying has been coming out of all of us and will show very shortly in EU / US online tourneys. No big LANs are on the agenda for the time being but as I said before, be sure to keep an eye out.
I don't feel like overdoing it here with writing too much so I'm going to cut it a little bit short actually.If you want to read the full post within my blog, be sure to check it out here. You'll also find the series of blogs I've been writing as well as some sick photos! thanks for reading up!

A sponsor is a sponsor and is incredibly appreciated.

I'm not sure i understand the benefit of moving to Romania for this? Sure, a pro house is a pro house but couldn't you and ranged just shared an apartment somewhere in the states?

Totally hear ya thrill. Well first off in the US, myself and RaNgeD had plenty of distractions. I was working 48 hours a week with not much chance to game or get better. Back in the states, with commuting and everything I was getting about 8-10 games in a day which was far from enough. I couldn't quit to play starcraft because of rent and everything. Living off starcraft isnt an option inless you're getting paid from a team or coaching alot. However, when we do return to the states, we'll be able to play and live off the salary from the team and as well as coaching =) What it boils down to is money and out here everything is paid for and the only thing we have to focus on is SC. Hope that answered everything ^_^
