I think the restrictions here are too serious. This would discount teams like Ice, PotM Bottom, and ROOT, for example. FIRE was big for a month or so before they became Complexity, but we wouldn't have been able to cover it. I think results are the biggest thing, whether we judge that by tournament success, stream views, or something else. Decency 05:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is - we document teams by their organizations, not the team itself; Such that when the organization has reached a certain notability criteria it's future pickups would also be inherently notable. Besides, all good teams would eventually be sponsored (FIRE got coL like a week after winning everything?), I don't see a problem with the use of organization to document teams in a professional way.
 * Note ROOT is sponsored by ROOT Gaming, the reason they aren't there is the lack of achievements. PotM Bottom and Ice never met the results requirement to begin with. Team Zenith, the most prominent example, has expressed that they will obtain a organization sponsorship by the end of The International. Redefining history 08:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * PotM Bottom has certainly met the results requirements now, winning the 2GD Arena and making the finals (maybe winning, no spoilers!) JD Masters X. We still can't include them, which I find extremely silly. Decency 19:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
