Total Influence eSports Recruiting SEA GM SC2 1v1 Player
Total Influence eSports is currently on the search for a StarCraft 2 Player. We recently had a player that met these requirements. He was a GM in the SEA Region, he missed out by 2 rounds to qualify for Intel Extreme Masters in Singapore this year, but he left us to join some real life friends in some teams of his own. Therefore we are on the search again.
We are looking for a player that is an Australian player, and is a GrandMaster in the SEA Region, and would be happy playing 1v1

Hey dude,
It's great that you're trying to pick up some Aussie talent but I think you should discuss what you guys offer them and what you're about a little more,
Best of Luck!
1st for Starcraft II? Really mate, so do tell us about how you were first at Starcraft 2?
Sorry, we may seem like we're coming across a little harsh/cynical, but you've got to understand this doesn't look good for you. First, you're unknown to us. Second, you're young, which even you have to understand undermines your position a tad. Now we find this "first at Starcraft 2" thing.... You have a wee bit of explaining to do mate.
Another tip,
When someone calls you out on something don't get angry and start swearing at them, *facepalm*
This is just going to drag you and Ti's reputation down past the point of no return.
Especially on a public forum...
Also stop lying about your achievements what's the point in lying?
What do you achieve from lying about these things..

You have enough to worry about with your own organization. Stick too it please.
1st for SC2. I was unsure of the fact that nobody here knows of CG.
It's meant to be first for SC2 On CG. I posted that later in that thread. But I'm not changing it there, that forum is just trolls and idiots. I think on that day, the only decent person I talked to was the guy from Live Support.
I don't play SC2 Myself, so I have no idea of all the ladders and stuff, I thought this was just an SC2 Forum.

Protip being 1st on CG means less than nothing, its kinda like something saying they have experience being a mailman when all the person has done is collect their parents mail once in their life

If you're going to manage a team, whether now or later, I'd very much recommend playing the games you look to be encompassing. If you have little to no understanding of the games and their matchmaking systems/professional leagues, you're going to have an extremely hard time achieving anything as an organisation.
Other than that, I'd simply suggest having a really good think about how viable it is to be attempting to run a 'pro' team (I use the term 'pro' loosely because I think that in this case, it really won't be applicable for your team), People such as Dox (from Nv) have worked extremely hard and invested a huge amount of money and time into players and events. At your age, this won't be possible.
Personally, I'd probably take a step back from things for a few years, expose yourself to the respective scenes of the games you wish to incorporate and then possibly consider the thought of running a team.
Sorry mate but u have come to the wrong place if you are going to be making Statistics like this . After spending time reading the website you linked and also Information and comments on posts for ur page .
Its clear that there is something wrong here .
I Believe i have to agree your time here will be very short lived if you keep making up statistics to try and get players .
I was showing respect until I read that thread linked where he acts like hes throwing a tantrum.
He makes a couple of threads and is met with aggression, what do you expect?
The wording is odd, but he is young and obviously has some learning ahead. It looks like some people in this thread and the other thread need to learn a few things as well.
1st for starcraft 2 is likely legit, assuming its the cybergamer 1v1 ladder. I used to play that ladder so it showed up on team supremacy's page when I was still with them. I held rank 1 constantly for around 10 weeks before I decided it was too easy, its surprising how many bronze/silver players contend for rank 1. Don't think I vsed anyone diamond or above on that ladder, ever.
If I was a player looking for a team, I wouldn't consider joining this team. At a glance, they have hardly any sponsors that probably don't give them anything, not many players on the team already and a manager who can't take criticism. If you're still considering joining, go look at the thread whiplash posted. Its an entertaining read.

I doubt he has the mental capacity required. Regardless, hes gone to demzy from supremacy for advice, which I doubt he'd be doing if it was a scam team. I don't think its where the team is headed, but that make the team credible enough to warrant joining them.
i dont want to close this thread so "dudeimfkntoxic" please go update your OP, make it more presentable and add more information. When there is a lack of information and effort put into the OP people cast doubt. It happened to clutch too, cmon what do you expect lol.
If you want people to start taking you more seriously, i also suggest a name change. you can apply for one here and ill make the exception and do yours by tonight. http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=2392
perhaps make it clear that this "pro team" does not have sponsors yet (no biggy, sponsors are few and far between), but you're looking for some - so players dont start off with the wrong expectation of stuff from a "pro team"

Okay, so let me attempt to break this information down.
- Starting a SC2 division of an already existing, multi-platformed clan
- No real benefits except for some discounted gfx design stuff
- Exclusively open to GMs, lower leagues need not apply
- "Pro team" from scratch, basically
- Purely speculation, but people running/organising the SC2 division seem to be under 15
- Vague "rankings" for gaming achievements that mean next-to-nothing in regards of prestige/popularity (CG)
- Initial BM to SC2SEA veterans when asked to provide a bit more information than the vague half-paragraph that was given
- Quite possibly making up statistics (Protip: Rankings in non-sc2 related activities doesn't help. So what that your CS team allegedly does well - that has nothing to do with what you're promoting)
At this point in time, good luck getting ANYONE, let alone one of the top 200 SEA players to fall for this.
As much as some of you may dislike me already, I'd appreciate it if all your comments not relating to the circumstance of applying to join, were kept out of the thread. No doubt I'll receive flame for this post too, but PM It to me instead if you must?
Wow, I was actually going to make a post here when this thread was new regarding 'Total Influence e-sports' but decided against it.
Guess I didn't have to anyway, common sense is strong around here.
Based on this thread; (link), one assumes this is a troll and nothing else.
If it's not a troll - I think a quick thread closure would suffice and the shame of being caught as a full retard should keep him from interrupting the sc2 scene for some time.

Was this really neccesary, he's asked that we just respond if we are interested. If no-one here is interested it's an effective closing of the thread without having to stir more shit and insult people.
As the founder and a captain of mGG I think I can offer you some advice on building/creating an esports team/community.
When you want to start a team you have to build your credibility from the ground up. It takes a lot of work and dedication but it can be done. When I started mGG it was just myself and my friend who wanted people to play starcraft with outside ladder. I wanted to share my wins and losses and say things like "dude did you see that FF!!!". Now, many many months later, we are proud to have sponsors and a solid community of people from every league. We run events both in-house and for the sea community and do our best to grow esports. The point is that you cannot skip ahead of all of that early work by requesting only top 200 GM's and lying about achievements.
My advice would be to start a NEW small clan or group of people to play with in clan wars against other BSG clans or just hang out and train together. This would give you practice at managing a small community of people, organising events and give your group actual credibility. People in real life do not care about chest beating like they do in school playgrounds. Just be honest, put in the hard work and build what you want from the ground up.
I hope you find this helpful but you will probably ignore it and call me some sort of juvenille name.
he isnt wanting to create a clan he is wanting to add a sc2 division to his sponsored team.
also i disagree with that there are clans of all shapes and sizes a clan doesnt have to start of in BSG
he isnt wanting to create a clan he is wanting to add a sc2 division to his sponsored team.
also i disagree with that there are clans of all shapes and sizes a clan doesnt have to start of in BSG
Thank you, I think I misunderstood him. I agree with you about clans to. I should have been more specific and stated that maybe starting small would be best for a 14 year old.
Its not a troll. He's serious. He's just young and has no idea what he is doing / how to treat people (as this thread and the one pandan & others linked to show)
Give it a few years to grow maturity, and if the dedication and motivation is still there he could be an asset to esports.

Like no one ever was
Dooo dooo dodo!
For starters, almost everyone in the top 2% of SEA (we call it the Masters League) is in some kind of team already - so you'll need to have a better team than they have to score anyone even close to the Masters league. With that being said, there are tons of lower level'd players who would be happy to join any team at all.
As other people above me have said, your reputation isn't that great yet, and it's well known that you're a young person. It will be harder for you to get very good players that way, and you can't directly skip this "starting out small" stage, especially if you're relatively inexperienced and unknown in the scene.
Nevertheless, good luck on trying to start up the team.
and as long as you are honest and up-front you'll be fine.
That is exactly what detracted me O.O
@UHF Comment: More just the lack of transparency. I had to dig around to see if legit, and the thread I found wasn't professional or very solid at all. The comments were full of name calling fit for a halo 3 public game. The posted results, whilst technically correct as someone pointed out ITT, were still misleading at best.
There is also a complete lack of certainty surrounding sponsors as well as no understanding of SC2. Collectively makes it very unattractive, regardless of how new the team is.

Just for reference he is claiming to be sponsored by a company called GloGaming/GloVine @1:50 in the video: "We are currently sponsored by GloGaming and GloVine for our website"
When I enquired if this was true with their support department they confirmed that they did not sponsor this "team" and were not affiliated with them at all.

A few things first, he claimed to be sponsored by this company in the video and that is what I was responding to. I asked that company if they were affiliated with them and they said no they have never heard of the team. I am not trying to burn this guy just check out the background info that he claims to represent so people are informed. I read the entire thread but missed that sentence about nextdesign. The nextdesign website linke is here for those who want to know about it.
The NextDesigns there website is here: http://nextdesigns.enjin.com/
(Thanks go to UHF for finding the correct website)
EDIT: changed the website link to the correct link provided by UHF

Sadly there is not support department or way to contact this company to verify they do sponsor this team.
The person you spoke to might not have been there 5 months ago. Heck, the company i work for sponsors 3 sports teams, but less the 50% of the staff would even know that.
As for NextDesigns, it's actually http://nextdesigns.enjin.com/
They sponsor a bunch of clans/teams over at CyberGamer by the looks of it.
Edit: Yes, i realise they aren't listed - let's give him benefit of the doubt and assume it hasnt been updated.

Really? You went to all that trouble, just to get false information?
ts.GloGaming.com.au:9995
Check out the channels in there. A little way down you'll find the Total Influence Channels.
And:
119.252.191.114:27045
Counter-Strike: Source server IP. If anybody has the game, add that IP To your favorites. You'll see it's the Total Influence eSports Clan Server. Look at it's branding.
Would probably be wise to have evidence before you start throwing claims around.
And for all you complainers about NextDesigns. Just yesterday we got unsponsored by them, and private consultation from a different GFX Group who chooses not to be named. If you want evidence of this, here is some graphics: http://gyazo.com/28e86645f66f7386b090d17f9a8b5f2a

Welcome to the Starcraft community, we're a very snoopy bunch and enjoy depth with a spice of thoroughness. It comes hand in hand with us playing the most complicated esport in the industry ()

Well that video was put up in July so things may have changed. Yea some players are looking for oppourtunites but I don't think this is it. Not really worth what you could be getting yourself into especially when there are some great clans already set up on here that you could just work your way up.
UHF, the false claims he's made are evident in the gtesports thread I linked earlier; where he claims multiple times to be #1 in cs, then top 10 then some other things, when not a single player on his supposed roster was in the top 64 teams of the last 5 years.
Some of the other 'achievements' were unequivocally false which is what started the whole 'lies' sentiment in the first place.

He probably is embelishing details to make himself and his teams look better, but it's so hard to tell that I would rather give him benefit of the doubt.
"Some of our previous players came from...Top 10 Counter-Strike: Source"
It's hard to follow as I don't really know much on CS, but most of the posts in that thread suggest he is lying simply because he didn't elaborate the exact details of what he meant in regards to the achievements. Seems like people were just giving him a hard time because he gave a little back when provoked.
This is all I could find on TI and they seem to be doing pretty good.
All I see is that "they'll get back to you". Not exactly real evidence that they are sponsoring you.
As for teamspeak and the CS:S server. I don't have either, and I'm gonna guess it prolly says something like Powered By GloGaming or something. I'm quite sure if you pay for their services, it's gonna have their name on the servers. Correct me if i'm wrong.
That is CGo (open) though, not CGa/m/i/p (amateur/main/invite/professional) so not really much of an achievement (though I understand Source only has an open league now with Global Offensive's release)
Essentially for all we know he's promised the team above a server and they jumped on it (representing the organisation), not saying that is the case here but it's certainly possible
I believe they are partially sponsored by GloGaming with a teamspeak channel and maybe one or two servers.
Will find out and give you guys a certain answer.
EDIT:
They are sponsored by GloGaming.

And yeah, CG only has an open league now for Source. Although I did still find the page with the CGa, M, I and P leagues on it, maybe they will bring it back.

Thank-you for this as well. This is our main organization page. Today I also picked up 3 MW3 Teams. One of which is in the drafting mode to go into CGa, M, I or P, Although it is most likely they will enter A.

He didn't actually sell the Ti logo's off. I talked to the designer about it.

Correct and incorrect. You can pay to have branding removed, however it doesn't say "Powered" it says "Sponsored" by GloGaming. Refer to react's post for proof anyway.

People were complaining that we weren't sponsored by NextDesigns because we weren't on their website and etc. The designer who worked for NextDesigns, made that Logo for me, whilst we were still sponsored by NextDesigns. Then the owner started being a bit silly, and he made everything bad. He unsponsored my organization, and then the designer left and started working for the GFX Team that now sponsor my organization (Private Consultation, wishes to stay unnamed in regards to gaming). That's why I have the unwatermarked version of that logo, but the owner of NextDesigns is selling the DESIGN, on CyberGamer. But when he "Sold" that design of the logo, it turned out completely different (http://gyazo.com/bd6bc41451e417bce5e...4cf?1352366195)
The designer said he made it different, so that we could still keep our Ti logo, and it was still unique. And now we are under private consultation with the designer that made that original version of the Total Influence Logo, and we are happy for it.
There we have it, the whole story basically.

I guess you should be more clear and concise in your introduction and information.
If you came to a sponsor claiming to be #1 etc, they would expect the team to be #1 in Australia and therefore be extremely annoyed when they find you aren't.
For those wondering, #1 on CGo is ranked around 40th+ in Australia (8 teams in P, 8 teams in I, 8 teams in M, 16 teams in A (or more).
Although you can't directly compare the rankings (It's like saying they placed first in a GPD competition for example, so you can't really rank them against a #1 spot in MLG).

This is true,
However if I was approaching a sponsor, I would provide them with all information directly and straight up, because naturally they revolve around not just a single game.
This thread was made specifically for SC2 Players, to see if anyone would be interested at all in joining Ti, for the SC2 Department.

Approach your players the same way or you get a heap of shit and nobody playing for you.
