And i wouldn't be surprised if he went to another team next month, either.

Why would he leave a team as stable as Dignitas? They seem to have the funding to send all their players to the biggest lans in the world. He has most likely written a contract as well so he can't just leave it, unless he screws up majorly I don't see how he can leave Dignitas in at least 6 months.


Anything's possible with the Naniwa.

People saying Dignitas aren't (at least now) among the best foreigner teams clearly can't be paying too much attention to the European scene. Particularly when they then go on to name players from some of the other teams who, while obviously good players who I may very much like, are not necessarily more notable than the "less notable" players in Dignitas. That is, the players who aren't Sjow, Select and now Naniwa. There are some pretty good players in that group.

I think I might have butchered that paragraph.

This makes team dignitas look scary good, probably one of the best foreign teams now.


Minus Liquid (Every member?), or Root (Catz, Mini, Kiwi, QXC, Drew), or EG(Machine, Inka, Incontrol, LZ), or Mouz(Morrow, Strelock, Mana, Hasu, Naama), or Fnatic(Kiwi, TT1, Fenix, Gretorp. Sen, Lucifrion)



Not to be rude in anyway because i absolutely like their playstyles and i think they have great chanses to win tournaments in the future but what was the last tournaments haypro and tyler won?

I like to look at team's strength by assessing how many of the players can legitimately be the Ace of the team. For example, basically everyone on Team Liquid could be the Ace of the player.

Haypro recently won one of the XMG Series tournament hosted by Take, which was like a week ago. As for Tyler, I do not know.

A top4 of SjoW SeleCT Naniwa and KiLLeR is extremely strong, i couldnt think of another team that could beat those 4 a majority of times, i think it was a great move for dignitas and very lucky for Naniwa, keep up the good work nAni

Very super arguably. Mostly a huge argument against that statement.

I don't understand why people put EG on the same level as these other teams when EG has absolutely no players as good as some of the players in these other teams. Idra of course excluded. Yeah, they have good players, but when did any of them win something in SC2? They are at best an average team.

Edit:ok, I forgot that they just picked up Demuslim, who is quite a player, but these are the accomplishments of other EG players:

LZGamer: 2010 MSI Evil Geniuses Masters Cup #1
Machine: 2010 iCCup TV League US Grand Prix #1


And that's it. Idra, and now Demuslim, are actually keeping EG looking like an good team, rather than mediocre.



What? lol no.. not at all. In fact both the "accomplishments" you stated aren't even accurate.


Then it seems TLPD sucks?

Here's a challenge for everyone...find one EG player in this list, except Idra (and in mind that Demuslim earned his medals while outside of EG)

EG is still very strong but not as strong as many people think, but i foresee the EG players improving and showing good results in the future. Machine is the one player that stands out most from the NA side of EG, he has motivational work ethic and is improving really fast

Fnatic- Fenix, TT1, Sen, and KawaiiRice?

Root-KiwiKaki, QXC, Drewbie, and Catz?

EG- Idra, Incontrol, machine, and demuslin?

Another showing of Naniwa's lack of professionalism and immaturity? BUT maybe Dignitas gave him an offer he couldn't refuse so I won't pass judgment.

Catz won the Justin Invitational like 1-2 weeks ago. I haven't been following the other bolded players. I'm sure someone better informed can answer your question.
