SearchThe Russians get LOST
Posted by "heikki" 1 year ago
The Russian LOST boys had their sponsorship pulled from underneath them as ze7, the ancillary sponsor of LOST.ru, decided to reevaluate his strategy for promoting DotA. In his statement to GosuGamers, ze7 expressed his belief that sponsoring LAN tournaments would be a more effective method of promoting DotA than sponsoring individual DotA teams. He apologized to the players of LOST.ru and to Luccianoz, the creater of the LOST organization, for his abrupt departure.
Luccianoz gave a statement announcing that he could no longer sponsor LOST.ru without the help of ze7, though he plans to continue supporting LOST.eu, LOST.jo, and the EEDL. Luccianoz expressed regret in parting with the LOST.ru players and his former partner ze7.
It is currently unclear whether the former LOST.ru players will try to find new sponsorship or if this is the end of the team as we know it.
Statement from ze7
-"When Luccianoz came to me and proposed to me the sponsorship of LOST.ru I found that it was a great idea for me, in order to promote DotA and help Luccianoz achieve his goals.
After the LAN tournament I saw that the best way for me to promote DotA and my business was to host big LAN tournaments, not to sponsor a DotA teams. So I would like to apologize to LOST.ru and Luccianoz for making them look bad."
Statement from Luccianoz
-"I am glad that ze7 and I hosted the biggest LAN event in jordan, which helped us promote DotA. We achieved our goals and I am a little sad that ze7 wants out because he sponsored LOST.ru under my wing.
I am really sad that I lost PGG and Jolie because I seriously respect and love the guys alot. But without a partner I can't sponsor three big teams."
The LOST organization will continue with LOST.eu, LOST.jo and EEDL."

| :O somehow i was expecting this.. lost ru didnt seem active and involved or something :/ messed up |
| Big LAN tournaments > Lost.ru |
| god damn ! well u know what is best for u ... but i dont see why u sponsoring Lost.Jo instead of Lost.Ru ... i know that u are from same country ... but still ... Now pgg and the russ boys without sponsor ! |
| why luciannoz dont stop sponsoring the shitty .jo team so he can sponser the ru oe |
no sponsor = no $ for alcohol for pgg  |
| This is certainly true. Honestly, why the fuck would you want to sponsor a team if you're somehow able to sponsor A GOD DAMN LAN TOURNAMENT? |
| are they even playing?It's been a huge while since I took the time to watch any european replay,not exactly because I prefer the asian ones but due to the fact that big teams aren't playing each other,who cares about lost.ru vs backstreetboys? |
lol # 5 + 10000  |
lol #5 made my day  |
| who cares about that shit team, pgg biggest idiot alive and i hope he never touches dota again |
| plenty of good orgs in Russia .. why dont the players just contact some ;) RAGE, Empire, forZe .. they are a skilled team, who could make some of them proud, but i guess they would have to take it seriously |
| yup, knew it was coming. ze7 was probably doing this to promote his 'big' lan tournament and now that it was a success they decided to ditch one team. sad news for the russian |
| The title reminded me of GET-LOST. Good old days. |
| so he doesn't want to sponsor the russians, but he will keep sponsoring misery's team? wow.. |
| #14 seems like they had a good time, down in Jordan. not surprising at all, still sad for the russians. but how should they prove themselve without LAN's ? |
| #14 I would do the same |
| #10 how can you dare??? i don't know show some respect mby...they are great players... all of them |
That's SAD that jordan sponsers wont sponser the best team in jordan , For promoting dotA in jordan  .. Good Luck anyway |
| Lost.ru kind of got majorly juked. |
| #18 ?? Read again maybe? |
| LOL @ The headline :D |
| #20 he meant that he's sponsoring lost.jo, instead of dungeon or w/e is the best Jordanian team. Look at his name |
another sad news for a team.  |
Now this is bullshit the Rusian team could beat the shit out of the Jordan team any day but no he said "Get LOST" to the Rusians that have good chances to take a prize place in LAN's and he takes Jordanian team over them now that's really a smart choice to lose some good money by sending them to LAN's that they can't win unless in Jordan..Anyway good luck Jordanians I don't have anything against you maybe I will eat my words any time soon in the future we'll see.Oh yeah and GO GO RUSIANS ! ! !  |
| First of all , this ze7 guy sucks hard . 2nd , they should drop sponsorship for the jordanian team , not the russian , coz russians are simply much better and could do much better in any online or offline tournament. 3rd i dont believe ze7 will host any lan tournaments , unless they are in Jordan , so those tournaments will suck hard as ze7 himself anyway. 4th. Pgg and his boys must start win some matches as soon as possible , coz they wont find another sponsor soon if they continue with this poor performance |
| Just one more blablabla sponsor. Gl lucci with ur great jo team. |
| pgg just doesnt have luck .. ;x first aeon.ru ...now lost.ru ;x |
before asus  |
| dont cry bout pgg, he would spit on all of u or kick any1 of u if you would play with him dota. Not the best personality tbh |
| GL to everymember of LOST.ru |
| Luckily, pgg is used to switch sponsors constantly. Last few month there were four if I remember correctly. Jolie plays rather bad these days, so the only person worth mentioning is probably Beast (who played just one serious game). #7 I agree, though i find Asian replays rather boring. I really miss times when 3-4 strong teams were fighting each other (EG, Ks.int, MYM, Loda team...). These games had the spirit and were actually funny (not like some noob team loosing as expected). |
| Unknown sponsor with unknown sources. That's what you get. |
| Afterall, no organization wants to sponsor Russian's monkeys playing dota |
| #10 +1 |
| Well Yeah Lost.Ru Are Good players But Still He Cant Ditch his Own Local Team For an oursiders Team ... Dont you think...? Gj ze7 and lucci |
| great news :) never liked this team |
| But why Lost.ru? It was their strongest team! Nevermind... the other teams are either the on from the same country as he is, or the one who's been there and played with them. #7 Same here. I agree 100%. That's why there's even a VOD of MYM vs VP being headlined at GosuGamers. |
| the strongest team ... NOT did u see the last games they played -.- |
| never trust the arabs, not even in games they will always leave! |
| guys its not that i`ve chosen JO over RU but jo team is mine and i play with them ... for RU am really sorry :( |
| i knew this would happen )) |
| So why not stop sponsoring the EU team instead of RU?? |
| #42 EU more mannered. RU less mannered. JO are his friends/mates. So wtf should he stop sponsoring them. |
| its sad that russia looses its sponsorship every now nd then |
| It is all simple, look at it from the aspect of business, and you'll get it, what would they gain from sponcering lost.ru? Nothing. they aren't in any shape to allow them to win any tournaments, some might say why keep sponcering lost.eu? Simple, PUBLICITY, for the gaming center itself. Plus lost.eu compared to lost.ru are way more active, and imo have a huger fan-base. |
| No, it's because they realized that Lost.ru sucks ass. I'd take a mid skilled team over those crappy players any day. Jolie is just some washed up player from the past, and pgg is just a mindless drunk who ragequits. |
| Here my comment, 3 days ago. When they lose against an Afghan team. I think its not a suprise. That was clearly open that, in LOST.ru, things not goin' good enough. We saw those players in replays, and they were not good enough i think.  |
| Afghan ^^ > Ru |
| This Luccianoz guy seems rich .... |
| thx madnezz for thinking more business and less gamer coz at the end am creating a gaming organization and the EU boys are doing great job |
