The State of Fray`
 

Hi Friends,

I'm just writing this short blog to give everyone some info on what has happened with fray. So there isn't all this Skype he-said-this chit chat going on.

TLDR, fray has had some serious issues with sponsorship, lack of management (I'm still in the process of having internet connected at my new house) and mis-understandings between members. I really need to get to Skype and sort this out, but my phone is barely able to load the program, I live in such a poor area for reception and have no internet (I'm writing this from work while neglecting my other duties).

At this stage, I'm not sure where fray sits, I'm hoping I can fix everything up and redevelop fray in the coming months. However, losing two of our primary players to ROOT and increasing lack of motivation by some other members of the team have brought the SC2 squad to stand-still. I still hope to work with the Academy team and develop the talent there (Academy guys, don't panic - I'm still here for you and will work with you soon to achieve the out-come you deserve - Note to teams, the Academy players are no under any contract nor do I have expectations on them, I'm hoping to develop their skill and promote their play so that they can find a team that suits them in the future, or bring them in to be part of the new fray roster in the coming months).

Fenner msg'd me earlier stating that he'd like to explore his options and move on in his own terms - something he's wanted to explore for some time (life as a one man operation) and I'm happy that he is ready to move forward in his eSports career and I wish him all the best. I'm sure he will write something or Vlog something soon outlining his plans and thoughts behind this decision, but I can assure you it was an amicable departure from fray.

There have been a few people discussing another project and even projects to do with fray, I hope they can hold on a bit longer while I sort out my internet and I am really excited to move on in the future. I'm not sure if that will be as a driving member of fray or if I step down some-what. I'd like to be involved in eSports and will take my time to work out exactly what I can and want to do in the coming months. Members of the fray team will tell you I've considered quitting for awhile, the stresses of dealing with LoL and other teams in fray along with a majority of its management has taken a lot of my time and energy, I work a full time job, have a 5 year old Daughter and many other commitments. So I am living quite time-poor. But gaming and eSports are what I enjoy and I will always have some involvement in the scene.

I very proud of the team we developed together over the last year and believe that I have made some very close connections to the members of the team. Much love to the guys, from all the way back to the Carnage eSports days through the good times in fray and now to the tough times. I'll do my best to sort out fray in the coming months and to-some-what relaunch a new team soon.

I wrote this pretty quickly, I'm sure I've missed heaps and there are probably a bunch of errors but whatever...

Any questions feel free to ask or PM me if they are private in nature.

Thanks dudes.
