Hooey will no longer play on the team, he is just still under contract

Update: added these guys

Pirin “Kitta” Singapan (Strategic Planning & Analyst)
Zach “Sovereign” Bent (Player Development & Scouting)
Jeremy “Jerkkit” Wong (Head Coach, Team Manager & Analyst)

i can only be so erect

I came first, what do I win?
A lovely bowl of kimchi.

disgusting.

what kind of attitude is this?? fuck a team that wants to get better?? if hulk can't keep up, he deserves to be kicked. simple as that. you earn your spot and fight to keep it in any competition. doesn't matter if you built it with your own two hands.

all NA pros that have played vs EFFECT in scrims claim he has the most ridiculous tracking they've ever seen

first

PINE AND FL0W3R DREAM IS ALIVE

lol owner of the site doesn't even have 1 nerd star what a noob

added the names

the one trick thing is a joke about zachary, who is known to play basically genji only

REEEEEEEE

[5:52 PM] Harsha: @C9 Mendokusaii youre not playing this weekend right?
[5:52 PM] C9 Mendokusaii: Nope

he's getting his teeth pulled this weekend so i do think they'll actually be using a sub

dafran is Danish

They are all Europeans that live in a gaming house in Canada, yes.

lol

flags don't represent the organization, they represent where the players live

while i agree that rogue and envy should not be referred to as "american" teams, this is the easiest way to tag teams given how many mixed rosters exist.

i don't understand why people ask for evidence when people clearly won't give it because it'll put OTHER'S lives in jeopardy.

either trust thorin or don't - asking for evidence makes no sense.

Thank you for the advice, I'll take it into consideration :)!

i have numerous

i mean i don't know what you're going on about at this point, envy received an invitation several weeks ago and nrg was the third option after immortals

they did not retract NRG's invitation, EnVy accepted one that was on the table before

NRG will not attend because they were the third choice

read the report mate

according to a lil birdie

check the timeframe buddy

if it's not clear, eunited and dignitas's matches vs misfits were not covered in this edition. both teams looked to be similar but slightly weaker levels before (dig moreso than eunited), but the upsets will certainly mean a lot going forward. both have looked good in playoffs.

rofl why is this dude so mean...

You Guys Get Paid?
Fnatic
Laser Kittenz
Team SoloMid

an EFFECTive pun! admirable would be proud...

lol wow overwatch has fangirls already

You misunderstand—3 million is absolutely the standard for this type of investment, but seeing the big names made me wonder whether they'd put in more.

Don't have a link handy for twitch, but the company has reportedly invested 3 million into both C9 and TSM while securing non-endemic sponsors for them (such as AXE).

Seems surprisingly low—even Twitch has invested more into Cloud9.

For the record, I think Regi receives a bit of an unfair characterization because he is the only known figure in management. Not everything that Team SoloMid does is by Regi, despite his name's being attached.

Don't like reporting on rumors without proof, sorry for baiting :(

I think they are true.

sand :admirable2:
shrewz :admirable4:

admirable is spamming this thread hoping to get the legendary fifth star. luckily he's chasing his tail. it doesn't exist.

Very easy to say these things about orgs as an outsider. Alicus has a lot of influence and pull, but to my knowledge he isn't even looking for an org. Laser Kittenz will be the brand name moving forwards while they secure investors.

I do agree that Zaprey does seem a bit overconfident though!

meow

i was told information i did not know at the time this morning

Update: spOh is no longer a free agent and is playing with new amateur team Straight Outta Comp Queue. The team is composed of many high level players who have not been in the professional scene for a while.

I think you are heavily underrating Rogue and overrating both FaZe and Fnatic.

Fnatic competed in NGE before dropping out to go to Korea

I agree, it seems rather low for teams of this caliber. Even NGE with their four-team LAN had a 100k prize pool.

Edit: Oh, just realized the entire thing is online. Makes more sense then.

Sumtingwong news??? PogChamp

thanks, fixed

Turn and run before it's too late.

When I log in in the morning and see interesting debates on the news and editorials, people even posting their own essays to the forums and some beautifully crafted shitposts... well... it just warms my heart.

lol soft lil bitch

^ and he calls himself a journalist....

As of now, Red Reserve has not made it clear whether they plan to relocate the team to a team house or whether they will continue online as they have before.
