[ToRSpartaz]

Over the last three months since the establishment of Team ToR, we have surely come a long way since kicking off the long road in aiming to become the strongest competitive force in SEA. Now we are excited to start another chapter in Team ToR’s road to becoming the best of the best by representing Avant as their StarCraft 2 Division.

Mission statement from Avant eSports:

“AVANT is a passion, a goal, a hobby, it’s a dedication, and it’s an enthusiasm, an obsession, an admiration and exaltation, something to reverence and worship, something of honour and esteem. AVANT is Australia’s fastest growing organisation, encouraging members to ‘dream realistically’, or to set long terms goals with short term aspirations.”

Message from the owner of Avant eSports:

"From the start I have been keen to push AVANT into SC2 but I was not sure where to start, but we came across tor and knew they were going to be the team to premier our name in the SC2 team. I am very glad to have them aboard."

+ [”Introducing the Team:”] +

Management:



Nick “Av.Spartaz” Simpson – Sc2 Division Manager

Statement from Spartaz:"I am happy for my team to become a part of this amazing organisation. It allows taking those next steps towards both our individual and shared goals. I am excited for my players, because this will mean that new opportunities will present themselves for the growth of each of my players. For now, I am looking forward to representing the organisation on behalf of the team, so that both Team ToR and Avant will grow and develop by this strong partnership."

Player Roster:



Anthony “ Av.Pox ” Carapetis

Player Statement: "As the most mannered player in ToR, I'm excited to see how well we can do with the support of Avant."



Daniel “ Av.DanO ” Shaw

Player Statement: "I am very happy that Avant has given Time of Rising the opportunity to represent them in StarCraft 2. And I will continue to improve so that I can display strong results in future tournaments."



Heng “ Av.ZooM ” Jin Kwee

Player Statement: "I am looking forward to representing the Avant and the team at future events."



Jack “ Av.Pezz ” Perry (Pezzaperry)

Player Statement: "Avant has presented a great opportunity for Team ToR and for me personally. I'm very happy to be representing Avant in the future and hope that our relationship will prosper."

And introducing our most recent addition to the Team....



Bill “ Av.XzaM ” Yan

A more recent addition to the team, as skrawL has decided to focus on other areas of life for the time being. Consistently reaching top 8 masters on the Korean server, Xzam is a force to be reckoned with as he has a lot to prove under the Team name.

Player Statement: "I have been very happy since joining Team ToR and I am looking forward to representing the team as their most mannered player representing the team under the Avant organisation."

Yeah milestone :P

You shoulda played it off as a typo "d" and "e" pre close xD.

Still a good comment.

[ToRDjvillian]

Again with the mildstone? The rest of the boys are picking on your spelling mistake because they couldn't find a more meaningful way of saying "that is great"!

Everyone knows you meant 'milestone' not 'mildstone' anyway but girls can be so mean.

[ToRMaverick]

Ohhhh FFS!!!!!!!!!! Thought everyone was hating on my comments..... cant pick up on the sarcasm in text. ROFL!!!!

Fail of the year. I feel like a dick / douche. Im gunna go drink some beers!
