qojqva is better than korok and at this point has five times the potential. playstyle wise, he is essentially a light version of admiralbulldog right now. qojqva leaving mouz would make a lot of sense. and a restructured TL could fit/use him very well.
Also, as long as teams are dedicated enough to overcome timezone issues having a European or two on your team can be helpful when you need to overcome server issues.
Liquid has been practicing in EU time zones for a while now.
No, i refuse to accept that. Who would even replace him? :/
Mouz is basically done, sorry to disappoint you.
How come? Besides quojqva rumors haven't heard anything. And they did put a strong performance, except at the int, dunno wtf happened to them there. Really like this bunch.

They just need to widen their strategic range and pick up some new heroes for fata etc and they could be really good.. We've already seen they're capable of beating any team so I really hope they stick together and keep at it.

Synderen most likely out, FATA talking on Twitter about tough decisions, Black having his own stuff in mind and qojqva leaving - do you really think Mouz will continue with this reincarnation? Besides, Mouz are one of the lowest paying orgs in EU for a while, dunno why would these players wanted to continue under its banner.
ixmike pretty much confirms that qojqva is joining liquid. On the NADota forums he responds to a couple people concerns about qojqva being able to practice and go to lan events for liquid. He makes it seem like qojqva is joining or else why would he defend qojqva.
ixmike88:
europeans can go to school/work come home and scrim without it being a problem
he went to ti3 id imagine his parents lightened up.

They've played with Synderen and he was on Kaipi with non-German Europeans prior to that, so I reckon he speaks it well enough. He's also been playing alot of IXDL recently.
Him being an offlaner doesn't really matter as Bulba and him can both play mid. He played mid when standing in for Kaipi recently and had pretty good performances most of the time (he had a couple of bad games). I still think he is a great offlane Furion/Druid and Bulba may be a better fit mid.
But him actually moving to Liquid is just strange though. How come the sudden interest in playing with the Muricans?

There was an interview with Black where he said there was a bit of conflict with the team just prior to International. Issues mentioned included: they weren't switching up their playstyle and some players couldn't commit to a longer bootcamp. He said that there was definitely going to be a reshuffle in Mouz, and as far as I can see Mouz is pretty much done for at this point.

If I had to guess, timezone. School can be over during and his studies done and it will just be prime time in the states. Of course that would mean a lot of late nights, but if he wants to stay pro and stay in school I would guess this is the easiest way to do it.
