xCUBE in Korea; new professional KAG league

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Ej, Apr 1, 2013.

  1. I'm very happy to announce that our team finally found a sponsor.

    For last 6 months, we've been struggling. We couldn't afford salaries of some players (hence all the departures and roster changes), barely made money out of streaming and our tournament results were poor to mediocre.

    However, our hard-work and commitment were finally noticed and rewarded.
    In January we were contacted by Samsung. As you may know, amongst many sport teams and leagues they sponsor, there's also an e-sport team, SAMSUNG-Khan, which found its succes in StarCraft. Or rather, was an e-sport team. Now there are too.

    Samsung is the new official sponsor of xCUBE.
    So far Samsung helped us with resolving the financial problems and also paid for travel and living of Maverick in Europe
    Now, together with the official announcement, they are offering us a better training facility for the entire team. 7 of our players are departing to Korea in the following week to live and practice in the SAMSUNG-Khan prohouse.
    Those 7 players are:
    -xCUBE Maverick
    -xCUBE JTG
    -xCUBE WarrFork xCUBE Bammboo
    -xCUBE Ej
    -xCUBE Monsteri
    -xCUBE Andr01d
    -xCUBE Icidium

    Before our arrival in Korea, we decided to keep our original tags and nicknames

    We also asked some of our players how they felt about the entire thing:
    Maverick: "I think it will be a great opportunity to practice as knight, my skills are very lacking when it comes to this class"
    Monsteri: "I cannot look forward to new experiences and meeting new players. I'm also very excited about the entire facility!"
    JTG: "ass"

    We are also going to documente our journey to and living in Korea, creating photo and video journals





    Okay - you ask - but what does it mean for us?

    That's indeed a very good question.
    Together with sponsoring their first King Arthur's Gold team, Samsung is going to hold an entirely new, professional league.
    It will be held off-line, in Seoul. It will also be broadcasted by http://www.azubu.tv/ , Samsung is currently talking with Korean TV stations to have it broadcasted in television.
    That's what I was told but both me and our entire team, are very excited about it!
    Our team is going to participe in ArL, Samsung's league and as many individuals leagues and tournaments as possible. We believe that were given a great opportunity and we are not going to waste it.

    It's an huge honor to be related with Samsung. I can finally host my own servers with the support of Samsung and like Maverick said, it will be a great way to train our knight skills. I hope you guys will follow us on the Korean TV soon!

    I didn't know you was talking about this roster in-game. But anyway, koreans prefer canadians than americans.

    So, let me get this right. Some famous people are going to record a bunch of people playing a video game in Korea and stream it live/upload it, and also broadcast it on national television?
     
  19. pretty much
