No Use Talking NUT is a competitive esport organization based in Singapore which was originally established in Febr

Hi everyone,

Today we have some very exciting news to share with you. [Bf.Nut] is officially rebranding!

As you all probably know, we’ve been around since 2004, starting out due to our love of the Battlefield series. Over the years, we have also ventured into many different FPS games, such as Call of Duty 4, Blackshot, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and as of late, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on the XBOX 1.

Needless to say, we have achieved a considerable amount of success in these fields, which is why we are deciding to rebrand. We have long contemplated revamping our organization to showcase our diverse take on e-Sports, and not just focus on the Battlefield aspect of the name. After much consultation and thought, we decided that we will officially be changing our name to No Use Talking (NUT).

This is the next natural step in presenting a much more mature and professional image of us, and we also hope that we can appeal to a new following by venturing into trending e-Sports games currently being played at an international level.

We would like to thank all of our dedicated friends and followers who have supported us as an organization and watched us as we grow. This is a very important period for us as we will be focusing all our efforts into establishing ourselves as a premier e-Sports organization. Therefore, we need all of your help to spread the word! Listed below are our new social media channels, and just to keep you hooked, we’ve got some great stuff coming up that you can look forward to! Do follow us and share the new social media channels so that all of our undertakings go right to your newsfeed!

We will need all of your help to make this venture a successful one, and here at No Use Talking, we are very optimistic about what’s to come and working extra hard to once again bring success to the organization’s name. This time, truly, we will see you out there on the battlefield, and it will be as comrades in arms.
Thank you!

It wasn’t your everyday Saturday affair. It was our team’s 11th Year Anniversary.

To us, that was cause for celebration. 11 years as a team has certainly brought forward fond memories, great friendship, and the time of our lives. We’ve experienced highs together; and we’ve experienced the lows; but above all, we’ve never quit on each other. Our bond is the reason why we are all here today.
Sitting by the pool at our founder, Eugene "qu|kZ" Tay Home, fondly named the “Nuthouse”, with the smoke from the barbecue pit gently wrapping itself around our reminiscent thoughts, one thing was very clear: family will always be family. Even if someone is busy with work or National Service, they can always make time to come down and relive the good ol’ glory days with the team.

We soaked our feet in the pool and talked, as any proud team members would, of the stories that made us who we are. How strict training was back in the day, or how we issued a challenge video to a rival team just to “intimidate” them. Our first competitions together, or simply how when we started out we never expected to be where we were today. We laughed, we joked, and we looked at the stars (not that Singapore has many stars to look at anyway).

But today was a day, not only to toast the old, but to toast the new. No Use Talking celebrates its current members, but also welcome new ones. There were many new faces present at this anniversary, because “the more the merrier”, right? For us, it isn’t just another year. It’s a year of change, and we toasted to one of endless possibilities and happiness.

11 years is a long time, but we believe that this is just the beginning. So, we want to raise a toast to you, the fans. Thank you for supporting us and here’s to many more years to come!

1, 2, 3, NUT!!

7 years is a long time.

To put it into perspective, National Service was 2 years. Secondary school was 4-6 years. Primary school was 6 years. University is 3-4 years. My last temporary job was 3 months. My part-time job before that? 2 weeks.

7 years is almost too long.

I still remember the first day I stepped into training, at E2Max back in Cathay Cineleisure. I distinctly remember how I went to the wrong Cineleisure (the Orchard one) because 15 year old me is blur and not very street smart. I took a cab down after realizing I went to the wrong place and I ran all the way up to the LAN shop on the 5th floor. Training was supposed to start at 6.30pm, and I glanced down at my phone clock, which said 6.31pm. I thought to myself "okay lah 1 minute, should be safe"

"You're late."

I remember walking into a round table with a bunch of older guys sitting around, looking at me as if I've just took their lunch money. I remember Eugene "qu|kZ" Tay looking down at me and uttering the first 'welcome' lines to me. I also remember trembling in my pants.

"1 minute only, can lah!"

"If you're on time, you're late. First training, I excuse you, but don't let it happen again."

If you've been in a real [Bf.Nut] training (sorry young guns, your training sessions nowadays are too tame to be 'real'), you will know exactly what I mean when I say Quikz gave me the scary eyes. His demeanor back then was scary enough, but for him to stare you down and deliver that kind of verbal gut punch, that's something else.

I knew then, that I'm in a serious, no-nonsense and professional team that's definitely going to be elite. What I didn't know, is that I was going to be in that said team for 7 years.

Every year, I ask myself the same question before every anniversary. That is, "will this be the year I leave?". Every year, the answer differed. In the beginning, it was always a resounding "no", because I felt like I still had something to prove, and I could still be a better player. I was never the best player, nor was I ever close. I mean, I had days where I felt like I can take on anybody in the team, and days where I felt like I was simply wasting my time in training. There were always the 'pro' ones like zheming, Clim3x, Christian "m4gg0t" Stingl and whatnot, and on days where I was 'on', man was I 'on'. I took games off them and felt like it was nothing, but the next training I would fall flat and suffer humiliation again. So, in my earlier years I never felt like quitting because I wanted to be better and I knew I could be better.

Then, somewhere around a few years back, reality struck. I had my A levels, followed by NS, and that was a good 2-3 years drought where I barely played, let alone had time to train. Those years, when I asked myself that same question, my resounding "no" became a "maybe", and even a "yes" sometimes. My resolve was wavering, not because I didn't love the team, but because I didn't believe in myself anymore. I thought that whatever I was chasing, be it championships, sponsorships, money, fame, or even the simple goal of becoming a better player, was an empty dream. I thought very long and very hard and I was honestly on the verge of leaving all this behind, until the opportunity came:I took up the coaching job.

Looking back, it was kind of a stupid thing to do actually. Coaching is the worst job because it's thankless, it's tough and worst of all you don't even get to play during training. I was just so eager to give back to the team that gave me so much, that I didn't even stop to think whether I was suited or not. Whether I did a good job in the end wasn't up to me to decide, but you guys, and I cannot say anything about my tenure except that I've honestly tried my best.

Miraculously, the answer to my Eternal Question became "no" again. Not because I had something to prove, or because I wanted to improve, but because I've found a new purpose. Coaching has made me realize that there's more to whatever I'm doing than simply winning, and that it is more meaningful for me to help others realize their potential and dreams than for me to achieve my personal goals.

So today, I'm still in the team. I'm not a player, I'm not a coach, and I can barely catch up on whatever games you guys are playing now, yet I am still here. I'm here not for personal glory, or personal fame, but to help the new guys and the later generations become better and achieve that dream that I came so close to achieving, but eventually falling short. I'm here to teach them what this team has taught me, be it explicitly or implicitly, the values that have made me the man I am today. I'm here to guide them and make sure they don't lose their way, not just in the game, but beyond it.

Today, I am thankful that I'm still here. The question still remains, as it will always be, but my answer will always be a resounding "no", set in stone.

7 years is a long time, but I'm glad I went through it.

Happy 11th Year Anniversary [Bf.Nut], and may we march forth onto the battlefield for years to come as brothers and comrades.

It's been awhile since we have updated on our matches in the ESEA Asia-Pacific League Open Division!

Just last week, we had our first loss against team Nface from China which resulted in a narrow margin of 14-16 on Cache.

The only reason for this loss was being unprepared for it without much solid training and it'll be a motivation to work even harder for the next upcoming games against the top tier teams to see where we stand!
