Someone help me understand why teams spend weeks/months hyping players up before they get on their team. Why don't you make hype videos AFTER the player is on your team to bring attention to your players. Now all I know is, someone is joining a starcraft team. wooooo. Like how does it matter at all to the average viewer what team a player is on anyway. I saw MC switch from oGs to SK. Did this affect me at all? Nope. Maybe once team leagues get more popular I'll care more, but even then they still only play 1v1's.

Good marketing and advertisement for the team - I think this is really important and will be underestimated by a lot of people... see how they get the attention (this post, Reddit topic rank 7 already in /r/starcraft). It doesn't matter too much who the player is, Fnatic is doing it right.

if they pick up Moon, they should try to snag Grubby as well. Moon and Grubby on the same team would be so awesome in of itself that I'd instantly have to become a fan.

I really liked this announcement of announcement a lot more than the others I've seen (EG, Liquid etc.).
Maybe just because of the awesome music.

the "jyp, mc" tweet can also refer to them being protoss, in which case it's sangho
but whatever, hope it's moon

Don't worry, you are not the only one.

No, he is not. I just reported the OP and I was really surprised to see that nobody did before because making an OP with only a YouTube video and no further content always used to be unacceptable on TL and I really don't see why this cheap shit should get an exception.

Maybe some TL guy could give a statement whether they really want to have such poor topics now and why because I don't get it at all. I do understand that teams try to create hype etc but do you really not even need to put the slightest effort into it anymore now?

I came here expecting some insane hype about flash or jaedong coming to sc2. I am leaving utterly dissappointed and angry at the lame hype that foreign teams try and create.

Agree with this so much.

'he' would imply it is actually someone who is going to crush all competition, not moon. Who's crowning achievement is getting second in Dreamhack -_-

I don't think so, SC Hype threads have always seemed to have been allowed, and this qualifies.

You thinking flash or jaedong is switching over is not the op's fault...

I really like Killer but this is too hype if it's him. Moon would be great though.

this is too hype for anyone at this point. I wish teams would stop doing these silly stunts.

Could be violet, he said he would announce a team to join after he returned from HSC, and still hasn't done that so??? And if it's moon than Fnatic has way more money than I expected them to have.
