They were fun games to watch! I'm happy for the winners though.
yaaaaa cuz liquid doesnt pay zenio and hero anything. they joined cuz theyre big liquid fans.
imbeciles
Not that I agree with the whole 'lol mercenaries' stuff, but the story behind both HerO's and Zenio's joining is a bit different than the usual 'See talent, throw money at it'.
That's not to say that I think we are 'above' doing that or anything.
need money first... =|
How do you think we got Huk the first time around...?
Yo man, I know you're trying to be "adult" about all this, but Liquid would do well to protect its Knight in Shining Armour image...
Yeah, you bought HuK from Millennium. But he definitely had tenuous ties to the team and you offered a lot more than just money -- you offered a home.
The Following PREVIEW has been Approved for ALL AUDIENCES by the Motion Picture Association of America
NARRATOR: In a world where korean mercenaries dominate the field of Starcraft. Westerners had but one hope... one man...
(Screen fades to black)
(Angelic choir music starts playing)
NARRATOR: HuK!
(80s style sports montage where HuK owns korean face on the ladder)
NARRATOR: Every team wanted him and they offered him more and more riches beyond wildest dreams, trying to outbid each other. Every team --- but Team Liquid, who spend all their money running an orphanage and making soup for the homeless.
(Overview of a press room with huk standing behind a lectern packed with microphones)
NARRATOR: When the day finally came when HuK had to choose a team, to everyones surprise HuK announced that he was joining Team Liquid.
STARCRAFT REPORTER (Artosis): Why did you join Team Liquid instead of for example Evil Geniuses. They even have a pro house mansion for gods sake!
(Close zoom on HuKs face)
HUK: Because they offered me more than just money --- they offered a home.
NARRATOR: Coming this summer: Team Liquid - The knights in shining +3 Armor. Rated PG-13.

If you've been watching EG's streamed training sessions, you'd know that EG aren't a bunch of isolated mercenaries who play on their own sitting on chairs made out of money. This "offered a home" stuff is incredibly overplayed.
Both these quotes are correct.
TL is NOT the knight in shinning armor, and I don't know why TL (as a Team/Group) seem to be trying to demonise EG. I think they lost too many fans (and Huk) and are bitter, trying to get revenge using this forum for it.
There is more than just a pun against the "Evil" in EG's team name. I just don't know why, but this is what I'm seeing.
This from the Liquid Team News:
Against EG, there's more. Quite a bit more. As a defender of all things good and bright in the world, it's natural that Liquid` should be opposed to the Evil Geniueses. But after multiple HerO vs PuMa finals, the acquisition of HuK, and serveral high-stakes meetings in clanwars, there's no excuses here. EG must be defeated.
This seems so much more than celebration and drama. This seems, to me, real bitterness. And I think this is terrible for esports. Unlike Mouz/EG rivalry which was pretty obviously well-intended and good-spirited.
All that and quotes from Jinro, for example, lead me to believe that there is much more we don't know about, and it scares the shit out of me.
lol how old are you, do you really not see that this is just the typical way to hype an article up? Do you really think that TL thinks of themselves as defender of all things good and bright in the world? LOL
