Damn, that quite a disappointment, now Empire is even more toss-scarce. Hopefully Welmu continues to compete and can find a good team soon.

i think empire is taking things more serious and having higher demands on their players than many other teams. i think thats a good thing, most players need someone that make demands, its hard to have all that dicepline coming from yourself

Welmu was doing good, and Empire was already lacking Protoss players, don't really get this decision...

Good luck to Welmu!

I don't think speculating about reasons why they parted is bringing us any closer to the truth.

This is a strange one, they need more Protosses and whilst Welmu wasn't posting amazing results he was still pretty strong, maybe they've got someone in the works already?

GL to him though

Theres no reason to release Welmu and then sign Axslav. Welmu is a stronger player and additionally hes younger, which is always a good thing.

well there are people who would contest that, plus Axslav is more professional for sure, but that s not the place to discuss such things is it... Hopefully empire picks up a good player

unless you want to keep the player for 5 or more years, experience is almost always better than a young age. I think you are think to much about sports, where after a certain age the player can't compete as good anymore.

I really think it's the other way around.
Younger is better than experience. Experience can be made, youth can't.

not that i believe that sjow will go to empire (although its possible) your race mix as a team is completely irrelevent. there absolutely no reason to have a mixture of all 3. in terms of team leagues you need players who can beat all 3 races, but that doesnt mean that those cant all be terran players.

Depends, younger people learn solid patterns better, but they are less flexible and fall for uncommon strats pretty easily+ other age related issues. But they often have more free time, which ends up in more training, of course there are exceptions.

So both have good points and bad points.

Unless the opponent has a guy like say SlayersCoca and you're an all Protoss team.

Or if they have MMA and you have no Protoss players.

I think variety is important.

Much less important for foreign teams because they don't live together and practice together as much but you do still need it.

Welmu's play did not impress me at all at assembly. All he did were blink allins.

Empire could really use a good P.

Welmu isnt as bad as americans think he is, but hes not nearly as good as europeans seem to think (based on this thread). although if he is young and has potential, he would be worth keeping (like heromarine on mouz, or vileIllusion), i still feel like he is the odd man out in the empire lineup.

you hear empire. you think, yeah, foreign slayers. beastyqt,kas,happy terran trifecta. wacky but not terrible zerg aristeo. violet. welmu?

I also think that they strive to have a better overall lineup especially considering the recent addition of violet. Maybe next player will also be a Korean or a very high profile EU player. i don't think that they would add any US player because they are not strong enough.

I don't think Welmu was doing much or showing any results in tournaments and such, however when I saw him in team leagues he was always doing good. I agree with you since they already lack protoss players I don't understand this decision either.

why the hell would they let go of welmu? they had such a great protoss in Welmu, and he was young. I'm genuinely sad that he actually has been let go of. Seriously he ssemed like he actually going to be their successful protoss to accompany their successful zerg.
