I'm worried that the OGS guys will just keep doing their routine, leaving you guys out. I'm bring this up because Ret said he was just playing Iccup all day when he was at the Estro house... Other than that, this is great! Good luck, I really hope you do well! Well, they have each other to play against if that were to happen. The thing with ret was that he was a b-teamer. The a-teamers didn't want to waste time practicing against him and the other b-teamers were busy trying to become good, playing versus a player that you can't understand means no strategy talk etc. When liquid are moving to Korea, they do so as one of the best teams in the world. Jinro, TLO, Nazgul and Haypro are so good that oGs will want to practice against them since they themselves have something to gain from it. | ||

Since this discussion has yet to continue, and I think it should, I'm going to toss in my two cents, which I expect will be similar to what BroOd might have said. Murderotica notes that our beloved Liquid boys are not on the same skill level as current Korean Brood War pros. He suggests that their going to Korea takes SC2 esports in the wrong direction. I must disagree quite strongly. As SC2 is only at its beginning the only direction it can go is up, and it makes little sense to compare the skill level of players who practice a long-established game in team houses to players who have only had several months of beta to train for a brand new game. Yet in only a few short months, this group of Liquid players have shown some of the best skill SC2 has seen so far. They often go toe to toe with the likes of Tester and IdrA, Brood War pros trying their hand at SC2. In regards to the lower skill cap of SC2, nobody claims to have bumped their head on it yet. The future will tell how good SC2 the game is relative to Brood War, and the present sends some of the best SC2 players to Korea to train as the Brood War pros train, with Brood War pros. This move by Liquid can be only celebrated as an extremely promising beginning, not dismissed as a disappointing turn of events. It is likely that years from now if SC2 lives up to Brood War (and perhaps not only in Korea), we will look back at players like our Liquid boys and their oGs training partners and credit them with starting it all. | ||
