Smack-talk time: My computer is a complete idiot. Constant BSODs, had it looked over twice with no faults; stress-tested it myself without failure... yet the BSODs continue.
My 1v1 in SCII is actually a 1v2... I'm versing both my opponent and the chance of my computer BSODing mid-game like it has the last few days, ohh yeah!
Benji isn't playing because him and Xeen are too busy casting for it. To allow a second team for developing/casual players to play was nGen's idea to begin with, how can you even say that Del?
Also I speak for myself and a lot of others in/out of nGen that we do in fact like Benji despite being him very critical of many things. I understand that you TA boys and Benji like to trade absolute random blows from time to time but I really think It would be nicer to keep it out of the public's eye in a thread like this.
The lineup you're in is truly a walkover - you won't even play, at least we respect each other enough to let the developing or casual players play.

Everyone supports their friends, and they become friends because they share opinions. The reason you don't get people agreeing with you is because your so-called friends in your clan nGen also hate you. Guess that happens when your 'opinion' is just to disagree with everyone and regurgitate what IdrA says.

nGen didn't come up with the B-Team idea lol. It's not even a B-Team it's just a 2nd team because you have so many players. Why is KJH in the "b team" where lesser players are in the "a team" in his place? You're just filling numbers for two teams so don't go on about using developing players when you won't even put them in the lineup.

You can claim your idea for your Terror Australis Lite was original and I won't argue about it because I ain't one to presume I know what other clans are doing/talking about. It's just that when you go ahead and claim that we don't develop our casual/developing players, and then Terror Australis Lite signs up about 6 hours after nGen 2nd Team signs up, it makes you seem pretty hypocritical. Also we never said B-Team, it was a second team filled with players that don't get to perform/represent nGen much - How is that different from casual/developing players? When was the last time you saw KJH represent nGen in anything? Infact, the players who have earned nGen the invited spot are all well-within the 1st team, someone like Juicy and KJH who definitely would be on the 1st-team skill-wise, will probably not get a chance to play in the 1st team, whereas by them being in the 2nd team, they get a chance to represent/play for nGen in the qualifiers.
Much like Terror Australis Lite are a group of players that don't represent TA much and now gets a chance, I loved the fact that you did it - I really enjoy the notion of watching Shihao or Avanar repping TA on stream. But by what notion do you get the idea that your Terror Australis Lite team is any different from nGen 2nd team? I hated the fact that you felt the need to presume a mentality of ngen, subsequently insulting us, just because you have some personal beef with Benji. I was the one who came up with and organised the nGen 2nd team idea and for you to insult my intention of exactly what your criticizing nGen of, I am pretty hurt.
Infact, aside from Vehmence(not repping nGen as long as I'm organising), Xeen and Benji (Holiday + Casting). Every active nGen, regardless of skill level, are on either teams. Likewise, why would u put someone like Zac (who isn't going to compete properly), or someone like Tom (who isn't active at all). Who exactly is developing/casual that I am missing?
Sorry for derailing topic, please move to smacktalk thread as I am unable to.

I'm not claiming anything about TA Lite, it just happened that a few of the boys in masters and diamond expressed interest in participating but the invited team was already full so we formed another team. Similar to what nGen did I admit but without claiming we invented B-Teams lol.
I don't really see how you disproved what I said - that you guys entered two teams with the aim of being competitive and then filled it out with players who will never get a run. It's different to what TA did in stacking our "A-Team" with who we consider best players on current form because they got the invite and we owe it to the tournament to prodive the best team possible. Our B-Team in this case is not just 'players who missed out' or spreading the players out evenly, it's the players who aren't up to scratch who will get a chance to prove themselves and have a run in an event that they would otherwise not play.
You might claim this is what the nGen team is and I guess you know better but that's how I see it - the only difference being you spread your pool of players across two teams to have two competitive teams, and we stacked our invited team and then entered with the casual or up-and-coming players for some fun.
Not sure why you are arguing for the case of Benji when he started all of this with some unnecessary shit talk about a team we entered just for fun, by calling it a 'walk over team'.

Yes I admit Benji did start it, and deserved the smack talk that came his way thereafter. However my defensive instincts (I was raised that way) made me stick up for Benji when he was clearly in a situation of being ganged-up. I was rather hurt, and also strongly disagreed with the statement you made about casual/developing players because that was exactly what I was aiming at doing when I suggested the 2nd team idea to the nGen channel.
You have a fair point in the difference between nGen 2nd team and TAL. My only comment on that is that, although technically its our "second team" we would still like to be competitive and, I believe you are underestimating those boys on TAL <- Looks like a solid competitive lineup to me.
The way I see we did it is that, we gave our players right below the A-team a chance to play whereas someone like TASanchez or TAChampi may not get a chance with the overwhelming quality of players ahead of them. I personally wanted to be on the 2nd team myself because that will mean I get to participate in the qualifiers, but Wild and Master were like NOOOOOOOOOOO.
I still love you mate

That happens when you have an opinion that just seeks to disagree with what everyone else is saying just for the sake of arguing...

Like I said, I was just basing my opinion off what I saw, but it's good that you intend to use your lesser known players in the 2nd team and retract what I said in light of this. I look forward to our potential match together where in order to prove to the other that we are using developing players we keep sending lower and lower ranks at each other until it's some Bronze player vs TAdeL :P
To get it back on topic, surely there are more teams than this from SEA would be interested?

I appreciate it very much that you respect me enough to take my posts seriously. Now to get that guy-guy emotion connection feeling out of the way... I'm really looking forward to seeing Mineski send forth a team, and for SungIn and Songhee to play for SPR instead of Prodigy -_-"
