Former OGS player Vines joining Team Empire, one of the best European teams!?

Credits to reddit - links speak for more than mere words:



@marconofrio
Dear Empire, you should've told VINES to not change his BNet name before you made it public.

Well if they won't reform as a group I hope to see more of the oGs boys on foreign teams, its a good chance for good teams to pick up great Korean players.

Pretty much this exactly. They've always been so terran heavy, a good protoss will be nice for them!

If it's true, Empire has certainly picked up a great Protoss. Vines has some great potential, and playing on Empire can really help his skills.

Empire has a great eye for talent, they constantly have the sickest pickups of players who aren't the most popular but super talented.

I still can't read his name as "Venus" instead of "Vines" for the life of me TT. Nevertheless he is a great protoss and should suit empire well.

Why would you read his name as Venus when its spelled Vines ? If he wanted to be called venus he should have named himself venus

He didn't want his name to be "Venus" that's just how it was pronounced. (and rather hilariously "penis" during the GSL)

Because he said his name is pronounced Venus.

How's your name pronounced? Rips? Ripes? Reaps? Ghoti?

(T)Kas, (Z)viOLet and (P)Vines? Sick aces for each race. If this is true, looking forward to seeing Vines at more foreign tournaments, he absolutely destroys Korean GM every season.

Very good for both Empire and VINES if this is true.

And I think I heard during Code A this season that he was actually going for Finesse a his name, but since korean does not have the "F"-sound, he thought this would be the next best thing :/
