Just some random theory: MrBitter and Rotterdam are probably allready over in Kiev cause of the IEM event, what if it is one of the players participating in the Kiev event that's joining Fnatic? My main guess would still be Moon, but just something to think about. | ||

If he joins im hoping it means he wont be playign warcraft 3 at all then... Also he was impressing ebfore he stopped to concentrate purely on wc3..... | ||

I like the secret approach more, but i guess these days its impossible to keep something secret. So i guess the hype it approach is the easier way. Seeing a date in a thread makes me think its some cool event or other interesting thing is happening, but then its just a korean will be signed thing, and it will be a yawn moving on, especially if there are a few player left there and there threads floating around it. Would be funny if its Anypii and the moon similarities are just baits. But i rather doubt such hidden cleverness and a bit of trolling. | ||

Yup. He also placed somewhere around 8th in a MLG and Ro8 in the NASL S1 Finals... Moon certainly showed some results when he was playing TWO games at once. Now he's done with WC3, so he'd be able to focus on SC2, and produce even better results. That's why many people, including me, are excited. | ||

Dammit I was just going to post this thinking I was so smart. Argh TSL why are you losing players so much, I can only have so much faith in Coach Lee T_T | ||

Yep. and moreover, Moon already started to partake in pioneering successful muta play vs. P. I'm sure someone out there reading is like "omfg i went mutas in pvz ever since day one!!!11", but Moon really did make it work beautifully -- massing up spines and aggressively expanding in order to promote base trades that favored Z heavily. I think it was NASL S1 vs. Kiwikaki where he first showed it on a big(ish) stage. So raw results and prize hoarding aside, you also have to respect him for showing great innovation too, imo. Hell, I remember seeing that game, and from then on I'd exclusively go "smart mutas" as I call it in pvz (aka not rushing to muts on 2 base, which is what everyone knows sucks at this point). People i would practice with would say i had "weird annoying pvz", and i'd tell em it was inspired by Moon. To give credit where it's due i think Sheth also was a big user of muta/spine play shortly after Moon started doing it | ||
