i think this is a case of dignitas not wanting to keep Sjow as much as Sjow thinks hes worth, if you know what i mean. Sjow hasnt done much tournament wise recently and hes not really a big crowd favourite or anything, but saying that dignitas hardly have a roster atm, what is it? select, bicshu, bling and apollo? ^^
he'll find a new team soon, but i cant see it being a big name like mouz or liquid

Dignitas has a pretty big roster, consisting of DreAm, Bling, Bischu, Select, Merz, TangDongHo, Killer, and Apollo as teamcoach.
Hm, Dignitas has kind of fallen from my radar lately, as they are neither in the IPL TAC nor in the NASTL. I hope they can overcome the current slump in exposure and will rise again.

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.
Why the hell are you getting mad over this? Can't you have a sensible discussion without getting mad?
How do you know the guy who originally posted assumed that people wouldn't ignore the rest of the information on the page when all he posted was "He's ranked this high on a money-ranking list, clearly he's good". In that case, when I wrote "FruitDealer is 8th, your argument is invalid" I expected YOU not to be such a dumbass, I rather thought you'd be able to figure out that I meant that money-ranking is a bad way to judge player skill. "Whoa, you couldn't figure that out TB? You're such a dumbass!" Am I doing it right?
If you want someone to understand your point then maybe you should put some thought into your post, "Look here! Sjow is ranked X on the money-ranking list with some really good tournament placements which you can find on THIS page, you shouldn't doubt his ability".
Why should I write a well thought out response to his post if it's so short and non-existent of information? It's like someone writes "Terran OP", would you spend effort responding to that? No. The same way I wont respond with some Einstein shit to a person providing a link to a money-ranking site and writing "he's high on this list, clearly good".
All I said was that with people like FruitDealer on 8th spot money-ranking clearly isn't a good way to judge player skill. If you can't handle me saying that without getting all emotional then too bad for you, keep it classy rofl.
OnTopic: According to that Rakaka article NewmaN from Dignitas said that they would've loved to have SjoW on their team, however he didn't accept their offer and decided to move on.

Maybe they had him locked in a basement somewhere.

At least that will shut up the doubting haters, win for everyone imo~
