This is a four-part series called "The Team Concept," where we explore what has happened in the year since Justin Wong has joined Evil Geniuses. How have players in fighting games been affected by teams and organizations coming into this realm?
MILPITAS — It can't all be roses and sunny skies. As Pac-Man player Billy Mitchell put it, if he's doing well, then someone must be unfortunate. It's the law of averages. We all can't be on teams and be successful. We all can't be on teams and be happy. Even as I was on a team and then as I led one, things weren't 100 percent good times.
Martin "Marn" Phan and Joshua "Wolfkrone" Philpot are two guys that were on organizations but then left for various reasons. They're not the only two that left for the exits. There are others that were signed to teams but then left but haven't make their frustrations public for contract reasons.
In doing this series, Marn and Wolfkrone didn't talk to me on Saturday with a pool of venom ready to unload on people. Instead, they talked about being on a team and why they're living the single life at the time (Wolfkrone joined the Peaceful Jay team days later).
