With Effort on their team, Hentus is gonna easily gonna be a #1 contender. Effort/Snow/Hydra/Leta is gonna be sick.

Indeed, add Horang2/Movie/Skyhigh for depth/sniping and it's a really scary team (as long as they aren't all slumping).


The biggest issue is that this doesn't matter until after proleague ends I believe. Unless they extend the schedule it usually ends before the end of August. Still, next season I wouldn't be surprised if Hentus opens up a round of proleague undefeated or something.

Ya, I almost forgot for a second that Effort won't be able to come back right now.

But I don't doubt that he'll be able to get back in quite good shape pretty fast despite his long break, he has so much talent. And I think he might be able to influence Hydra a lot and make him even scarier. :O What a scary duo.

I wanna get an interview with Effort now to find out why he decided to come back.

Nice. But why so long to get a license? That's like almost a half year.

The OP was half correct on the EFFORT CAN'T COME BACK FOR ABOUT HALF A YEAR PART.

That's right.

In terms of licenses, players cannot obtain a progamer license if they retired for at least a year.

Effort joining the team and practicing is fine (which is something that I forgot about). He just can't go out and play matches.

Lol I know which makes the effort more amusing. I myself didn't consider it at all either, but obviously this is nice example about how being stickler for facts can leave gaping blind-spot among possibilities.

It's a penalty. I think supernova said that u need to wait 6 months to get license again.( After leaving )

I'd imagine its because they've given out their licenses already this year and they won't get anymore till the end of the proleague season. Either that or the penalty for retiring, though I thought that was 12 months not 6.

A little spoiler tag wouldnt hurt anyone


To me the only news worth all this would be effort. Since I dont believe that would happen...this is just going to be something thats going to be cool but nothing super cool...

I was the one who PMed the OP to add those parts because I knew the 99% of the posters would only focus on those two... It made sense at the time, and it still does - who'd think that Entus would release news about something that won't happen until half an year later?

AHH! Better than any surprise I could have guessed, you can't leave BW no matter how hard you try.

My favorite Broodwar gamer is back!!!!!!

I made the prediction a long time ago, that he will be the greatest player ever, when we all look back on BW. Hopefully now I get to be right!!! He's obviously really really up there- but I'd like him to really stomp faces now.

We all know how much good that long breaks can do for players, Bisu is the first that comes to mind. I hope he comes back refreshed and falls in love with BW all over again! EFFORT HWAITNG!!!!!

edit: LOL I wonder if he played SC2 and was like... you know what... fuck this kids shit, imma play me a mans game!

CJ forever (-_-(-_-(-_-(-_-)-_-)-_-)-_-)
