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

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.

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.
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.

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.
