This confirms that BabyKnight has been added by eSahara. Congratulations to both!
So Verdi has left from eSahara if you dont know who he is, well Verdi is a russian protoss player who got little bit attention when he bmed MarineKing on his stream.
After the creation of eSahara's Stracraft 2 line up, Artem "verdi" Avramenko joined the team as the very first Protoss player. Artem is for sure a gifted player with a huge potential, who proved his worth through many actions. Even if he has no major victory, he has always been a serious and excellent player with a high ratio of victories at clan wars. He has a very high level that litteraly exploded when he dominated the last season's ladder and hit the second place of the eSahara Cup. But he is unfortunately obliged to suspend his career to keep on his studies.
Valentin "RetoX" Berrouka "Verdi has always been my favorite player, I was having a real hope for him as a player. Being unpopular and under rated, he was able to beat a great player and then to lose against a lambda one. The training was getting him in shape but he has been obliged to make a choice between his studies and StarCraft. I wish him a good luck and sincerely thank him for everything he has done to eSahara". https://twitter.com/#!/e_Sahara http://www.esahara.net/en/news/1596
Verdi's a very good player, although probably most famous for getting owned 3-0 by Nerchio with Nerchio using special tactics with three different races to do so
I just talked with Verdi a few days ago, he's a really talented player considering he started SC2 late and also had no BW background. I understand his decision though, going "all in" with SC2 is a bit risky nowadays.
Do you have anything to back up the rumor in the headline? Would be a strong pick-up if true, Babyknight is making waves.
*I see that he has indeed joined the team on esaharas homepage. You should remove the question-mark and possibly add a link to the news of the addition.

Yes, but after that he beat Nerchio 2-1 and then 3-2 As I said, Verdi is really talented.
Regarding BabyKnight, I'm surprised he didn't moved to Dota 2. He was one of the best Dota players and would probably make a lot more money in Dota 2 ^^
Verdi is very underrated... not sure how people can say "not a huge loss" or "he bm'ed MKP so he must be bad" just lol. He is one of the younger players and he also played WC3 on a pretty high level, this guy has tons of potential. I expected a lot from him in SC2. Well good luck to Verdi and congrats eSahara, BabyKnight is a good replacement for Verdi.

Yes i know this wasnt official announcement but the new eg player hype wasnt also made by EG staff, and why not post about these things when Esahara is imo becoming one of the biggest teams in europe seriously there is alot more teams than just EG , TL and Korean ones ^_^.
I'm really happy for BK, he have improved a lot in the last year. My question is what is he going to do once Dota 2 comes out, he is an oustanding Dota player.

this news suggests that he will stick to SC2, don't you think? I don't understand where all the Dota 2 fuss is coming from.
eSahara is shaping up to be a really unimpressive team in comparison to every other funded foreign organization. It's weird, since they have a couple good players but the rest of their lineup are no more special than unaccomplished ladder casuals.

With a lineup of Check, Maka, Naama, Satiini, Carn, Deathangel and Babyknight, I'd say that eSahara have a decent chance of competing with every pro team out there. I'd even say that they could beat for example Liquid in a clan war. And.. which of these player do you consider "ladder casuals"? Because I don't see any.
