Really disappointing my good friends "SeiSei" and HuT deserve better, but yeah Vortex are an average team who dont have teams anywhere near the top level of Australia let alone the global scale,
cybergamer is a really good website to check out before deciding whether to join a gaming organization (AUS/NZ) just to see how strong they actually are
I had heard some very interesting things about snake from Mayo that I relayed to both Sensei and HuT before I declined Vortex to join SQL. This doesn't surprise me at all.
He's a dirty rat and is a disgrace to the gaming world.
It sucks because there are so many good players who joined in hopes of a good team to join, but in the end they got completely BSed by the team manager...
I really hope this doesn't come across as a "told you so" post, because it's 150% not what I'm trying to say. It's just that... considering the original post advertising for Diamond players, and the links Mayo posted about Snake in other communities, I never would have gone near this with a 10 foot pole.
Haha Vortex gaming is a joke, they have no good teams for any games either, their Halo team is fairly average and have no outstanding achievements whatsoever (I competed amongst them throughout the 2011 Halo Reach season).
Their FPS manager Ryab (Idk what his name is now) is also a joke, he consistently goes around to different sponsors and lies trying to get them to sponsor him (faking achievements and claiming he's amongst the best gamers in Aus).
Dw guys they're nothing.
Gahh, now i have to search through all my "Favourite sporting teams" on Facebook to get rid of them!
It really sucks though guys, your better than those guys anyway, cant wait to see you involved with new teams tearing it up. ^_^
The funniest thing about this all is that when it comes to Australian 'organizations' in FPS (primarily CS 1.6/CSS) they're absolute shambles and never put their money where their mouth is. The only team that I ever worked with that were legitimate to me (albeit for a short time) were SQL. Of course the only other team known for having a good reputation in the FPS scene is Immunity.
Really sad to see people like these plaguing hard-working SC2 players (wouldn't be surprised if they're young kids running these so-called 'organizations' - what person with any decent education uses the term lawyer in Australia?).
