- Ben Costin

- John Farhat
- 5:21pm
- John Farhat
- Hey there, no worries I will be on later
- If you have any questions about the team or want more info let me know
- Ben Costin
- 5:26pm
- Ben Costin
- Ok
- Where are you located?
- John Farhat
- 5:29pm
- John Farhat
- The team house is in townsville Queensland. And only because I was able to get NBN internet there.
- Ben Costin
- 5:29pm
- Ben Costin
- I guess it seemed obvious from your email address
- John Farhat
- 5:29pm
- John Farhat
- Yeah
- Ben Costin
- 5:30pm
- Ben Costin
- What sort of skill level of players are you looking for?
- And what skill level are you at currently?
- John Farhat
- 5:32pm
- John Farhat
- I'm looking for the player with the skill level that believes they have the capacity to be the best, whether you've played 500 games or 5000, its mostly about the dedication and motivation
- Ben Costin
- 5:35pm
- Ben Costin
- ok fair enough
- Well im interested in the whole idea
- But i have a few concerns
- as some of my mates in america have tried this sort of thing
- And people in your position have used their investment (housing/food) as a chip for blackmail/justification of their wishes within the team
- i.e. demanding place as captain/role they want to play
- John Farhat
- 5:43pm
- John Farhat
- We're not going to have a captain, each person is going to dedicate themselves to perfection and mastery at the game, which includes smooth and efficient team communication, we'll be discussing various strategies as a team
- Ben Costin
- 5:44pm
- Ben Costin
- as well as just poor living situation due to resentments
- Ok sure
- Don't take this badly, just saying this is some problems ive seen/heard from people who have done this sort of thing
- John Farhat
- 5:45pm
- John Farhat
- Anyone that acts emotionally or is offensive to another, or is immature in the sense of lacking good communication, they will be asked to leave
- But I would accept that sort of person in the first place
- Wouldn't* sorry on the phone
- Ben Costin
- 5:47pm
- Ben Costin
- ok sure
- And this is the big one for me, what is your current skill level and what makes you believe that you have the potential to be a 6k+/pro level player
- Because they way i see it, everyone else is replaceable
- John Farhat
- 5:54pm
- John Farhat
- Im relatively new to the game with 506 games, thus I haven't had much opportunity to play dota properly with a team, I don't believe you can even play dota without a proper team, thus my current skill level is only as high as 506 games without a full team allow, as I definitely outshine players at my level, but for me that isn't even remotely important, and I would accept any gamer who had never played dota if I knew them to have gaming experience and to be intelligent and capable, basically, in short answer, I don't believe I have the potential to be a 6k+ pro level player, instead, I know I definitelly will be in the top 5 players in the world along with the team, and will definitely achieve mastery at the game
- John Farhat
- 5:55pm
- John Farhat
- Therequirement is 100% dedication, along with all that entails, and that's basically it
- Ben Costin
- 5:58pm
- Ben Costin
- i see
- so likely that there will be plays of vastly different skill levels in the house?
- John Farhat
- 5:59pm
- John Farhat
- I'm not sure about the other players, so far I've only spoken to 4k and 5k+ players, but again, the skill will come from the extensive long term team practice
- And its not only about the in game practice, but also about innovation, studying games, strategy, learning in depth game mechanics, preparation and repetition
- Ben Costin
- 6:02pm
- Ben Costin
- ok well im moderately interested, i currently live near cairns so it isnt that far for me to go but im originally from brisbane
- John Farhat
- 6:02pm
- John Farhat

- Will be driving back there in a couple days
- Ben Costin
- 6:04pm
- Ben Costin
- ah ok
- John Farhat
- 6:05pm
- John Farhat
- Anyway, I'll keep you updated on the progress with putting together a team, and if you're interested you can let me know and I'll talk to you on Skype at some point to discuss it further
- Ben Costin
- 6:06pm
- Ben Costin

- this is a good time for me as the only thing im doing right now is waiting for surgery on my knee
- John Farhat
- 6:06pm

- Ben Costin
- 6:07pm

- John Farhat
- 6:07pm

- Ben Costin
- 6:08pm
