Bonus Question 1: How on earth did EvE go from a new upcoming clan to the powerhouse it is today in such a short time? How did you manage to become so tightly bonded and yet so manner to everyone? Share with us your secrets dear leader!

Honestly, i'm still in awe of what Eve has become. Eve started off from literally nothing. No country affiliations like the MiTH, SPR and Mski clans had, no history whatsoever like aLt has, no sponsorship like Flash and xGKing, we didn't even have many strong players like infi did. But it all somehow worked out. I shall attempt to explain briefly explain how it happened ^^

The focus of Eve was always about community. It was created for casual-ish players to not just hang out and talk about starcraft, but also help each other improve. With that in mind, the number 1 criteria we look for in recruits is personality. It didn't matter how good a player was if he was a douche or couldn't get a long with Eve members. RL or online friends of Eve members were also always welcomed to the clan. I think that is how we formed this closely knit and mannered little community in Eve.

I feel that with such a positive atmosphere established in the clan we were then able to effectively practise and help each other improve. This is probably how unknown players in our clan could improve so much that they can beat some of the top in SEA.

Of course the journey wasn't easy. There was a long period of time where we were struggling to find our footing in the sc2sea community. Shout out to the original Eve, who stuck with us even if we were a completely new and unknown clan at that time - Maltiso, Rorschach, Massacrism, Francis, Monster(lol), the tDp guys. Hope i didn't miss anyone >.<
