Good: One of the top 3 teams in the USA.

Bad: coL says they search for "new talent" but i dont see how they can argue or say that they do when really all they do is buy players who have the talent and just need a bigger/better opportunity. frod storm warden etc were all good, coL just gave them more opportunity because of their money..

that's my rant for the day, feel free to discuss.

I think that despite the fact that they aren't new talent they are now with a new organization besides x3o. I think coL has just gained a great team and maybe with coL's management they can thrive even more.

yeah but i just dont like coLs attitude.  do 1 thing say another...

Gotta keep in mind that they were once known as one of the top team in the U.S. so they are trying to get back up there. 

They also did pick up another cs team with their c3 tournament to allow them a chance to play at a professional level, so in a way they did get new talent.

While I agree coL might have made a mistake saying that, I do understand why they would want x3o.  They can't pay a team 60,000  a year (likely closer to 100,000 now) and travel to get better.  I'm sure Creative is already pissed they aren't dominating events and bringing them money.

coL is on a timetable, they HAVE to do well for the rest of the year for Creative to consider renewing their deal, which I'm going to guess is only for a year.  Creative doesn't make money, so long coL..

I agree with everyone when they say they didn't pick "new talent" but I think it was good on their part to get a top team such as x3o to get back up there. Like peawok said, they need to start doing well again.
