To be honest I dont know anything about this player but I look forward to see him playing, and he joined the perfect team for him to prove what he can do. eSTRO has had some really outstanding Terrans lately, maybe they just produced another. | ||

yeah, well word of mouth and inhouse results may be more complex but nobody gives a shit. put up or shutup. no results = nobody cares. Yeah, some little Romanian kid might be the next bonjwa, he has potential, doesn't mean he's top 5 world of all time. | ||
