I'm not sure I understand this move- Obviously Mana's character is top notch. No doubt he's a hard worker. But, I'd much rather see Liquid recruiting players with the potential to be real contenders internationally. Instead, I feel like they've recruited two very average (by the pro scene's standards) players instead.

Love them both. Truly. But... these additions don't get me very excited T.T;


In the context of TL's recruiting philosophy, I don't see how you don't understand it to be honest. They have always been recruiting dedicated, likable players in the scene that they felt haven't reached their full potential yet. For example, HerO, if I remember correctly, when they took him over from oGs, was a very undeveloped player with no results to speak of, but great talent and therefore potential to grow into the strong player he now is. Same with Taeja.

Sure, these two aren't tip top level players by current standards, but you cant deny that they match Liquid's ideals. We will see what the future brings and how they will develop. I'd rather have a team stay true to their ideals, rather than just look at results and pick up Koreans just to for the sake of picking up Koreans.

Yay for you two! :D I just was thinking, watching Bunny's play in WCS EU, that he'd be an amazing pickup for any team and couldn't believe no one had grabbed him up yet... guess I was wrong. Someone was already working on it.

Gratz!

As for mentions that there are better picks to win tournaments... just wow, I guess. I think Liquid sees the path to a better team, scene, and business going forward... People don't all start at the top, and there are players who are amazing pillars of the community that have never won a major tournament. I get wanting to see a team win, but I can't help but get excited at seeing people getting a shot at living/continuing their dream and passion.

hopefully bunny will be able to learn with/from taeja (although taeja is like the least team focused korean ever...)

Really didn't expect Mana. Also wow Mana is so young, that means he was just a little boy when he was playing BW ^_^

Im so happy with the addition of Mana
MANA FTW!!!
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.
