that's pretty cool.

Hydra is quite lacking as an Effort replacement.

good luck to effort

Holy crap. I had a sliiight hope that Effort would come back, but totally did not expect this news. Yes, with Effort back, he can help make Hydra even better! Two scary Zergs helping each other out and becoming an unstoppable force! :D Hentus is going to be scaaary in the 11-12 season. I wonder if they'll go on a rampage and be undefeated. It must have sucked for Effort to realize that he was too far behind in his studies to catch up and go to uni though, poor guy. At least he can go back to earning the big bucks through gaming again. Now all we need is Kwanro and the Emperor to come back.

big news and CJ are again contenders with Effort.
Now that CJ has Effort they could trade Hydra for Best/Afrotoss/s2 with SKT T1

And HELLZ NO, whatchu smokin'?!?? Getting Hydra would be awesome, but we can never trade BeSt and the Frotoss!! s2 is considerable though... But we do need to keep our Jaedong sniper, even though Hydra is good at taking down Jaedong as well. D;

Pretty awesome news. Wonder how long it'll take for him to get back into form or if hes managed to regain most of his skill over his "break".

If he was warned for saying he guessed Effort was coming back he totally deserves one.

I can't wait to see him in some televised games again! I hope he hasn't lost too much of his skill.

I really hope the leagues are still all in tact by then. Speaking of which, does that mean he won't be able to come back until this round of proleague is over? Well, whatever else happens, he'll surely help the team just by being there to practice with them. Best of luck to effort and his return!
