Real talk - I hope Malice realises he can't BM now he's representing a team/sponsors.
About the IXL/qmX business - while I understand your decision. You can't say it wasn't because you guys are mates thru IXL.. there are other top Protoss players not on teams as I mentioned above, such as MegaFonzie. That being said, I totally understand the concept of recruiting for form a team that gets along and will work well together - So I understand this decision.
Good luck lads... Will we see more big things from qmX soon?
EDIT: If AuX is team then there is still guys like BigBird, Champi or Spider8 who are arguably better
Good response Ruined
I've never notice Malice, Arguably - the above players are stronger or at least more acomplished Protoss's - in my opinion. Just sayin' its silly to think that IXL relationship isn't part of why they picked Malice - obviously it is. if it was purely on skill from a non-team'd protoss then there may have been other options. However its fair to pick up someone with an existing relationship to the other members of your team. Just don't act like it wasn't because of those reasons
I hope that some day, you realise that there are times to give your opinions in regards to how other people deal with their relationships/business, and there are times to keep your mouth shut and not come across as bitter and twisted because your favourite TA buddies were overlooked.
Malice is a phenomenal protoss player that has gone under the radar, and he doesn't need to justify himself to yourself, nor does Mezje need to explain his choices to you.
Real Talk - Sometimes, you just need to get off your high horse, and just let things go through their natural course, instead of getting pseudo-frustrated through an internet forum because your long-time buddies weren't considered for a position.
Before you say anything as well, IXL doesn't know I'm writing this at the moment, these are my own thoughts that aren't affiliated with anyone from IXL or Qlimax.
I would expect your response would be you trying to trigger a debate, but I've said all I need to say, so I'm gonna leave it at this. Just think about it, and hopefully in the future we will all be able to get along much better
I fail to see how most of the players being from IXL is relevant...
We pick whom we deem as a good player and who will represent us positively, not from what clan they were from or who they are affiliated with etc.
By saying - Obviously relationship between the players and their clan IXL is part of the decision making process, don't try and avoid that fact. I also said its completely legitimate for this to factor into the decision process - A team that works well together is very important.
I fail to see how I'm attacking IXL or qmX. They said it wasn't because of IXL relationship. Of course it was, don't act otherwise.
Now stop bitching about your inference of what I said in a medium that does not convey meaning or tone and enjoy this kid's big break with a team.
Good luck lads.
EDIT: Seriously, I get targeted for calling out qmX or something. Can you guys do me the justice of reading my posts? - I just said surely the IXL relationship is part of the decision. I didn't say it was a bad decision, challenge the legitimacy of it or say Malice was not a talented player - Simply that he's under the radar and I personally was surprised with the selection, is that wrong? - Now I hear he's actually quite good, So I wish him the best of luck and hope the qmX guys improve and develop together. **** sake guys - you're making drama out of nothing.
Must remember not to input conversation or input to a *discussion* unless I'm 100% circle jerking the OP - is that what SC2SEA is these days?
@chad bigbird isnt looking for a team neither is spider and malice is actually very good id put him above champi (please dont hate me ily champi) This has nothing to do with IXL, IXL has good players but nobody had picked them up until now there are not many other players out there these days... Team chemistry is important qmX seem to be aiming for it no probs in that.
this is the most incoherent thing i have written today excuse the mess

But if qmX recruited someone who wasn't on IXL, nobody would be like 'but i thought qmX was the pro-team of the IXL clan???' so this whole thing kinda doesn't make sense.
It's a coincidence, if qmX legitimately wanted to recruit only IXL they would have no problem launching qmX.IXL. Asking why they haven't recruited the other Protoss in the SEA region is just forcing opinions in the face of other people when we should be taking a step back and enjoying watching a new team being fleshed out.
Ok guys, we think malice is the best protoss player out there, that is currently teamless. Earlier in the thread champi/bigbird/spider/megafonzi were mentioned. Spider and champi, to my knowledge havent played in AGES (i only ever heard of spider cause he got recruited to cr somehow, never seen him play or anything) . Bigbird is obviously a solid player, but again idk how much he plays atm, and last time malice played him he won. Megafonzi again, REALLY good player..but hes on a team.. Malice is a player we know well, we're friends with, he has the time, being on a gap year to put in the effort to become a top player, and we believe in him to do so.
fray`Petraeus: this post wasn't actually necessary
I wish that sort of a post wasnt necessary, but unfortunately on this forum you have to openly justify every decision made ever or you accumulate a massive hate train.
I wasn't kidding guys. If you want to continue to post pointless comments / posts, you will start to be infracted. Simple. Like Edge just said, it's bloody embarassing that announcement threads of people joining a damn team get to this stage.
I remember Malice messaging me about wanting to be listed in the qualified list of players for the Protoss team. From that moment I knew this is a boy who has an ego and a drive - The essentials of competing at a top level. It reminds me of myself becoming a better player and going 0-10 to Roz back in the days and kept searching because I really wanted to beat him. Congratulations to Malice for finding himself a pro-team with some Good players as teammates.
Although the existing players in Qlimax have questionable manners, being in a team would certainly help them grow, just like it has helped me grow from a BM little bitch to badass naruto pikachu.
Congratulations and I hope to see some steady growth in you guys! Good luck!
@ChadMann - I never once said it didn't have an effect on the decision making process... As I feel SundeR and many others touched on we pick players who we know well and who we feel will provide us the results we want.
Thank you for all the positive responses, they are much appreciated and we hope to see everyone smashing HotS and continuing to love the game we all enjoy.
PS: I also apologize for RuineD's quick comments on most the posts, they were quite sarcastic and to be honest not needed at all.

I keep it real bruv.
Sat next to malice at the second Internet City Lan and he seemed like a pretty friendly guy, wish you all the best in your new team and hope too see some good results from you.
Can I just add here, I always thought MezjE was AxS before he left recently to devote full attention to qmX, y'know, he did play SEACL for us so no one can argue.
Jus' sayin' guis.
I'd also like to add; Best of luck with qmX in the future MezjE!
