I get that, it's just weird that Liquid was beat to the punch. Either Sea is actually 100% on Liquid or this is speculation, however plausible. Liquid could just be waiting, I just don't know why they would be.

Perhaps because tonight is Taeja's big night? I think they just wanted the focus to be on Taeja and his Ro8 appearance tonight. He and HerO do extra well with support.

So is it pretty much guaranteed to be Sea? I'm confused about how a korean esports site could have an article on this without any sort of tweet or news update regarding him from TL. Regardless, Liquid Hwaighting!

Well, the site literally called up KeSPA who gave them a direct response about Sea and Liquid. The rumors were already flying around beforehand, so it was only a matter of time before someone got solid info from the officials.

Sea was ridiculous. Really good SC:BW Pro (way better than NesTea, MMA, MC, etc... were). I've had dinner / wine with him in Korea, super friendly / nice guy as well. He speaks some english and is the type of player and person the TL community would appreciate. I've spoken to him recently and he is 100% focusing on SC2 atm. If TL got Sea, I would never root against them.

Wow! That's a really really good pick up. He will be a top tier player for sure given enough time. GL SEA!

Interesting pick up. Hopefully this guy can live up to expectations and really shine in both Korean and foreign tournaments. Strong Liquid line up = sexy time.

Sea was pretty much S class tier when it came down to team league matches... but he couldnt get over his mental hurdle of going past ro16 in individual leagues..

Sounds awesome, I hope he can prove himself like HerO and Teaja =)

This is a huge pick up by Nazgul . Sea is really a hardworking proffesional . This is the second player i'll root for in TL after Ret . Sea does seem to get fewer chances in PL and individual leagues nowadays so i think it's a good move for him . It would suck for Team 8 and i hope that they can also do well in the future .

Anyone know his sc2 results so far? Any wins against notable opponents?

Interestingly, that would bring Liquid roster to 2 Shield clan members, perhaps opening up a possibility to sign more in the future, possibly a certain Protoss player?

Well If it is Sea then grats, that is huge, Sea used to be a team league beast on Broodwar. Hope he can be that and more in Sc2.

... or it is because they play against Team Empire tonight in team league and it seems
like Sea was/is the hidden play in the fourth game....
