Polt got 100k off GSL Super tournament. Prize winnings is a terrible metric for how good someone is. For reference, sjow is ELO Rank: 51st in TLPD international. What? Stephano got 30k from IPL3. Thats not even close to 80k. Sjow participated in a lot of event and i think his prize winnings can tell you something about his skill. (his whole winnings don't come from one event). | ||

On the other hand, Dignitas should start hiring again, SeleCt is pretty good, Killer is a good Zerg, and Bling up and coming, but I am not sure that´s enough to compete with the likes of Mouz, Empire, EG, Liquid etc... | ||

He is one of the few foreigners that managed to win in code A. He has had some pretty dominant wins, first and foremost his IEM-win. But that's a long time ago and he seems to have faded since then, only showing glimpses once in a while. He was along with Jinro my first favorite player. I guess I jinxed them both. Dear curse: Hands off Thorzain! | ||

Sjow is a solid Terran players but his results in the second half of 2011 weren't anything like as good as his results in early 2011 and 2010. I think most people wouldn't rank Sjow as being in the top 20 foreign players right now so the chances of him posting major LAN results (like a top 4 IEM or top 8 MLG/DH/IPL) aren't so good with Koreans in attendance. A lot of it also comes down to how much Sjow was asking for from Dignitas. | ||

What I am more worried about is the Starcraft roster of Dignitas... I hope some new players join soon. | ||

Merz and Bischu, merz overall being pretty good aswell and Bischu is a beast in teamleagues it seems, having done all-kills in IPL TAC. Also killer is pretty good. Although, They have dream and tandongho, who I think could really be incredible in the future, those 2 seems somewhat inactive, but they have potential. | ||

It must have come down to them not being able to afford him, and other teams probably having better deals. | ||

Sjow participated in a lot of event and i think his prize winnings can tell you something about his skill. (his whole winnings don't come from one event). Pretty much this. If you choose to just look solely at his earnings ranking and not the information that is RIGHT FUCKING THERE ON THE PAGE then your argument is pretty much horseshit. You can't just say "oh well that's all I was talking about!", it's like deliberate sodding ignorance. The guy who originally posted was making the assumption that people wouldn't be dumbasses and actually take into account ALL the information that was right there available, rather than just say "herpderp, fruitdealer is 8th, argument invalid". People are more interested in being pedantic than having a sensible discussion it seems. | ||
