Actually I feel like many EU terrans have that problem. Cant think of a single dominant terran player (besides obviously Jinro), with Demuslim being unable to play and Sjow being pretty inconsistent. Its pretty safe to say that the terran domination that existed a few months back is over.

I do agree with that, but I literally haven't seen him place in anything. Kas/Sjow/Strelok/etc were always in things and placing moderately high. I saw Naama, maybe a quarter as much as each of them

lol guys, did you really think a fucking F1 boss would sponsor some unknown SC2 team without anyone noticing? As for redbull sponsoring them - it isn't even listed as a main sponsor so I wouldn't have high expectations about money they're getting from them (if redbull was serious about it, they would probably form own redbull team.. redbull.Ra, how cool is that, right?).

I`m always sceptical when a new team promises a super-duper salary, infinite travel expenses and so forth. There is an endless list of teams that disappeared sooner than later. So it may be doubted if it really is smart to depart from an established team to a newcomer mainly due to financial reasons. But apart I guess that there are different reasons as he really started to slack after Dreamhack even though his brother mentioned in an Interview that Naama went for full-time pro. Prior to that he looked to fill the gap of Morrow as Scandinavias most talented Terran. And now he joins a team with Satiini who seems to be the most disliked Pro in the Euro-scene...

Rakaka is speculating that it is do to a shortage of money in the mouse-clan and that mana might be close to leaving.

Isn't Rakaka always speculating?

I'd love to know more about Virus. It seems the liquipedia is lacking an article on the team.

This is a possibility, although most would argue he is one of the top dogs on the team.

more or less, the only time they have any hard evidence is when reporting tournament results. An exaggeration but not far from the truth.

I assume the owner of Virus owns Red Bull and Torro Rosso F1 teams? Kinda cool, I like F1 and SC2.

There has to be some reason.. whether he just thinks the Virus guys are cooler or that mouz is running out of money or he wants to hit up NASL..

Either way seems like a pretty strange move..

Weird choice on paper, but I'm sure there is some good reasons behind the decision.

nice virus is sponsored by red bull o_O

didnt know they sponsored esports. I suppose they might pump some money in their team.

I've seen amateur teams with redbull sponsorships that always die 1-2 months after so no big deal. Apparently you get a box of their drinks
