Edit: Virus is apparently a team started by Satiini, and most of the players are Finnish, but they call it a French team and use the french flag. | ||

However, I only see 4 pretty good players in Mouz from my perspective : MaNa, Strelok, HasuObs and MorroW... Could it be that they are adding a 5th big name... White-Ra HAS to find a team to play in NASL... *wonders* | ||

I do remember him talking about wanting to finish school first during Dreamhack, and then his brother (Sein) said in his Assembly interview something about Naama not really being in the mood to play or practice much since his Dreamhack win. | ||

Well if you look at some of the top players match history, you'll see that they practise against many players that aren't on their team, so I don't think this would stop him from playing games against mous players. I watch Morrows custom games sometimes and it's not too often I see mouz players on there. | ||

Also you have take into account that in mouz he was pretty much the "worst" of the top players (morrow, strelok, mana, hasuobs) are all probably getting more team benefits than him, where in virus he is pretty much their #1 player and will probably get rewarded accordingly. | ||

Its pretty safe to say that the terran domination that existed a few months back is over. | ||

Kas/Sjow/Strelok/etc were always in things and placing moderately high. I saw Naama, maybe a quarter as much as each of them | ||

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

Virus is a French organization, which recruited few unknown Finnish players. Then, these players persuaded Satiini to join Virus. In the end due being pretty good clan from player's point of view more top finnish players joined in. Including Naama's brother. Now, the already mentioned Korean visit also might have gone very well, which would explain a lot. | ||
