With no DOTA team, LOTV approaching, and the meteoric rise of HS, this seems like a very odd place for TL to put its resources. The Halo scene is back on track with H2A and Halo 5 on the horizon so it's not exactly out of nowhere. Surprising, but not very illogical. | ||

Halo is in a very dark place atm, I say this as a long time Halo player. H2A only has 3 competitive maps, Halo4 was a disgrace and the MCC is a bit of a running gag at this point. A lot of teams are being picked up now in preparation for Halo5, if Halo5 comes out and is a massive hit and reignites the Halo community which Halo 4 practically murdered then everyone is going to want on the bandwagon, so a lot of teams are jumping on early to avoid the rush. Ninja is probably the most visible Halo player, highest stream numbers, most well known (at least casually) so having him on Liquid is a great start point for them. They're just a new team only put together a week or so ago, they haven't played on LAN as a team yet, so no one really knows where to place them. I don't think they're at EG's level, but they should place fairly high.

HUK even used it as an excuse when building a mothership. Halo has just fallen on hard times since 343 took over from Bungie. | ||
