Unless I misheard, he did not give any hints as to who's going/coming in, and when we will hear specifics.
Personally, I'm sad to hear of any changes as I kinda fell in love with this group at TI3, but I am relieved by the fact that they apparently tried to keep the team together. Korok and mike leaving have been confirmed for at least a week now. I still appreciate the info from his stream anyways, but yeah. Maybe I'm wrong, but if the Team Captain won't confirm who's leaving yet, I'm not sure it's categorized as "confirmed."
They won't confirm because its not supposed to be public yet, but its 100% that mike and korok are off the team.

Derp. My bad. Do we know 100% as to why they are off the team? I've seen stuff in this thread about Korok being too aggressive but I wasn't sure if people were just gossiping or not, and I haven't seen anything as to why Mike is gone.

I wonder where our wild stallion are going to go? Been fan of him since Blight and especially after his comeback from HoN (yea, he's the one responsible for Morphling 2012 :D), so i'd love if he continues pro career.

In my opinion, liquid lost its best and worst player.
Edit: Does anyone one else think this new TL roster is a step down from the old one? its not a huge step down, but i have seen very little from way2 to make me think he is some stellar player, and despite the potential of qoj, i feel korok is the better player.
Maybe qoj will continue to grow and one day surpass korok in terms of skill.

If that's true then it lines up with the qojqva to liquid rumours. http://puu.sh/4bGSy.jpg

It's in the thread, but Korok and TC/Fluff have differing opinions on how to play the game essentially. Fluff has constantly talked about taming the wild stallion that is Korok and it simply hasn't worked out. As far as mike I don't know of any definitive reason, but mike and korok have grown pretty close and sometimes mike has a hard time taking Dota seriously (from what I've heard).

Maybe qoj will continue to grow and one day surpass korok in terms of skill. I disagree completly so the problem when liquid was created was that the roles were hard to figure out Bulba is better off mid and Tc is better off as the carry same with korok so they had to cahnge up the roles dependant on heros which im sure made practice pretty tough.
As goes the best player that would probably be TC
another thing to look at here is that with Korok and Mike they are more like at times they will be doing really good but then at other times they will kind of play really bad or throw and as much as i really like them I think Liquid would be better off without them

"qojqva is quite a bit better than korok and has like 5 times his potential at this point" -treeqt, 2013

He's part of the MLG team that Arteezy/1437 and co are forming. 1437, Arteezy, MSS, Mason, Inphinity and Clairvoyance.
Not sure if the team will be for the long term or just for the upcoming MLG season (till November MLG Columbus).

We know why Korok is leaving, but do we know why Mike is leaving? Is it based on performance or strategic differences?
|
i think because mike and korok are very close? that's the assumption
|
EE queuing with Aui, Bone7, Bamboe, Fogged.
The tryouts continue.
Also, does anyone notice that EE tends to take 1/2/3 players from other teams and put them on 4/5 roles when they join KP?
|
Can't believe some people think that just because someones queueing pubs that they are considered "tryouts". I sincerely doubt and would hope that players weren't picked for how well they do in a pub game.... NONETHELESS a pub game with a stack of pros.
Finding teammates that fit well takes many many scrims and even small tourney games...
|
Iirc That IS the role theyre looking to fill....
