But NaVi's Dota and CS teams were sick. So they gotta have some talent. | ||

Was always thinking they would try to sign some of the ukrainian big 4 (Strelok, Kas, Dimaga or White_Ra) | ||

It is saddening to see such a huge organization not only enter the scene super late but also hire only unknown to semi-unknown players. It's a gamble. | ||

There are some pretty "unknown" players smashing known ones in the TSL, maybe (probably) these guys know something we don't. | ||

I'd argue that while some persons like Thorzain were not that well known, they have been established high level players all the time, maybe not as much known to the more casual spectator but skillwise on top. These players are definitely a tier behind the top players - which can change quickly if they are provided with enough support to play full time (which I think the players from SK aren't) | ||

But whereas I understand that NaVi is quite a name in Counterstrike, for now I highly doubt they can set foot into the top tier of the Eastern European teams that are ImbaFXO, RoX and Empire. These teams must be the line of measurement for NaVi in the future. Nonetheless, good lock to NaVi, it's always good to see some big esport-names taking interest in SC2. | ||

There have been numerous times when players got in trouble because of existing contracts, and so far they always turned out to be valid. | ||

And i dont think that NaVi will offer that much money that whitera would leave his contract with duckload even tho navi has one of the best cs-teams in the world. | ||

Here's an interview from IEM Kiev which touches on the subject: http://www.rakaka.se/index.php?newsID=15947 | ||

I too expected them to grab some big name players. That said Na'Vi is far from a huge organization yet, they were build off of their CS team and have a big name rich singular sponsor in the Arbalet family, but they are by no means an established G7-esque team like SK is. It's too bad they couldn't grab all the ukrainian players, would have been super super epic. | ||

I looked up imba.FXO in tlpd, and it's apparently a separate team from the main FXO team - why does that company sponsor two different sc2 teams? I've never heard of their players, is imba.FXO maybe some kind of multi-gaming clan with an sc2 offshoot? | ||
