Hello,

First let me start off with a little bit about myself:

The name is Erik "eRocK" Reynolds. I am a 22 year old combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I have been playing CS since about 2006. I play cs 1.6 and css and hopefully CSGO soon =]. I used to play in all leagues such as : Cal Open/IM/M .. CEVO Open/IM and ESEA Open/IM.

I have ran many communities that were pretty big as well as owned 2 Game Server Companies.

Now for the reason I am here.

Optical-Gaming is looking to pick up a TF 2 Team.

Right now what we can do for you all or who ever we sponsor is : Vent Server, Game Server. What we ask for: you all play under the name : Optical Gaming, you all idle mIRC, try to be active on the website and forums. We want to be big community, and eventually one day open up to public servers as well as good league teams.

Optical-Gaming Website URL: http://Optical-Gaming.org

If you are interested in applying please send a team resume to:

Erik.S.Reynolds@gmail.com

Or you may add me on steam : hitmeup345

Thank you,

Erik "eRocK" Reynolds
Optical-Gaming Founder

you are not erock nor will you ever be

also as much as we appreciate you serving for our country, i find it hard to believe you were trusted with firearms and shit like that when you don't know how to proper use colons, hyphens and commas

It's a forum and your response has no punctuation whatsoever. This guy is throwing money at the community and your first thought is to criticize him?

Thanks for looking at picking up a tf2 team - hope you find what you're looking for!

Although I should warn you that the TF2 community greatly prefers mumble to vent and etc. However, most tf2 game servers also come with a mumble so that'd be fine for whatever team you pick up.

servers aren't exactly the hardest things to find, but provided ones are nice. does the organization pay league fees? pretty big incentive

What about using a alternative VOIP client like mumble instead of ventrilo?
Most of the tf2 community uses mumble.

I did pick up a TF 2 team but they have not once been in the server I bought for them nor have they been in vent. So that is why I am looking to pick up one now.

That's understandable since they could be scrimming on other teams servers and as stated before mumble is the VOIP of choice.

Dude, we had not even been with you for a whole day, and I was hanging out with friends all day yesterday, saw the Avengers and shit. And besides that I have finals coming up, getting all pissy for us not hanging out in your vent for one day seems kind of unreasonable. Anyone thinking about joining up with this sponsor be wary.

eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: Why havent you all used the server yet?
Redirecting said rocket: i just got home
Redirecting said rocket: some people dont even know that the server is up
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: I am not talking about today
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: Why is that? That is lack of leadership. No one from the TF2 team has been on vent since we brough you under wing
Redirecting said rocket: well we have lives other then a video game you know
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: I know this
Redirecting said rocket: Ñ: I was hanging out with friends all day yesterday
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: So do i
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: You keep making excuses
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: Its been more than one day
Redirecting said rocket: oh wow one whole day my god what a bummer
Redirecting said rocket: get over it we cant be on vent all day
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: How long has your server be online ?
Redirecting said rocket: since saturday or friday
Redirecting said rocket: this is the about the third time you have talked to me about this in around three days
eR๏cK - Optical-Gaming.org: Dont worry about I will find a team that can comply with what I am looking for good bye

I had no problem with this guy at all, but he was highly impatient with us as this conversation is proof of that. I understand the need for an active team but this was ridiculous he gave us around 2-3 days and said why no one was on the vent server that day. I would advise people to avoid his sponsorship. Also he posted this before telling me that he is dropping my team. Thank you for the opportunity eRock i appreciate it but stick with established teams not new teams still looking.

You were in vent one time for 5 mins and thats when we talked about your sponsorship. Other than that I havent seen you online. I seen you in game but not in ventrilo. I asked you to compete in more than one league and your reply was you it would be too crowed if you did more than one league. Grow up accept some responsibility. If you wanna be a leader learn how to lead.

Vent is shit compared to mumble.

Game servers and VOIP servers are inexpensive, you should also pay league fees and premium.

If you want people to hang out in your vent, and rep your tag, and constantly be on your forums; you have to add incentive.

Learn how to lead by following what some random sponsor tells you to do without question.

It should also be known erock that unlike pub servers, most comp teams do not play on fri, sat, and sometimes, not on Sun. So he was kinda correct when he said that you only gave him one day

Alright erock I am part of stealthy team. I wasn't on nor do I really get on unless it was the weekend or we setup a scrim. I didn't get contacted the vent server details or any information about it or the ip address for the server.

Now as for leadership you could have asked any other member in the group why you haven't been on. Plus league servers aren't played into the need them to do scrims.

Looks like it.

Why is video game sponsoring so difficult? It seems simple to me...
