Why do you people talk about stuff like team racial balance? lol
I mean, I guess I could see it being relevant if you're thinking about making team results robust against patch and metagame changes...

Not of the big once for sure...he is nowhere near good enough tbh.
Not even TL zergs have much to gain from him....especially since they could already practice together due to ogs/tl house (i guess)

Team tournaments (which are played relatively frequently). If Player X is weak against a certain race or playstyle, you should be able to have a player on your team who is that race or can exploit those certain weaknesses. If a team is all one race, then it's much easier to exploit (the same way that it's easier to practice for an upcoming bracket if all your opponents are the same race).

What team tournaments has TL played in recently besides EGMC?

Didn't IGN/CSN have a team-tournament. I would think TL is participating in that.
e. sorry, it was GCPL.

You also want a balanced team for practicing with.

So we have seen the doku teaser! And the player is supposed to be Zenio, is the "artosis leak" is in fact true that is.. And then the shirt thing will be revealed soon.. This was a nice hyp! Not EG CRAZY ZOMGPLX hype.. But still awesome ^^

It's people who are fans of a team that may not have many players of the race that they play. Everybody loves TL (they're basically the "home team" for the foreigner SC2 community), but Terran players have only Jinro and sometimes TLO to watch on their home team

As an American I'm more attracted to EG. It's important to separate teamliquid.net and the actual team. They're not 100% the same, and I'm pretty sure at this point if one ceased to exist, the other would continue on.

Liquid doesn't seem to practice much with liquid anyhow. I mean, in a recent interview Tyler mentioned he's learned a lot from watching Hero's replays and stream, but nothing about Obsing, let alone playing. They're not in a teamhouse together, either. In fact, aren't Jinro and Hero in Korea, TLO in Europe somewhere, Sheth and Tyler in NA and ret/haybro who the heck knows where. I'm sure they -would- practice together, but Liquid seems like an international team full of relatively independent badasses who all have good enough reputations to practice with probably whoever they wanted to.
Come to think of it, the only liquid I've ever heard of practicing with other liquid is haybro.
Obviously I've got no idea what TL players actually do, but I haven't seen much to suggest they frequently practice together ^____^

Oh boy, if anyone had a chance to win big ones on that team it would be Zenio. If people are going to go by the logic of picking up players who have the ability to win big tournaments why did the pick up Hero and Sheth for example? What do they offer that Zenio can`t? Who cares if they have a lot of zergs, I don`t see any huge team leagues in sc2 yet.

I find this hilarious.
In all seriousness, I would like to see another terran join Liquid. Particularly a korean but a good foreigner would be great too. Or Select, who deserves a category of his own cause no one seems to agree on his status of foreigner or not.

The shirt means 3 people will drop names, one for every each day until monday, but only 1 person is correct.
We have Artosis dropping Zenio's name. 2 more to go.
That would be cool.
