I think the reason he didnt resign was because he wanted a progaming house environment to train in and dignitas couldnt provide him this, therefore he left. Will probably end up in either liquid, EG, Millenium, coL or eSahara.

Dang, those have got to be the smallest team and player release statements I've ever seen. Good luck to Sjow in his endeavor to find a new team!

noooooooooooooooooooo

Neither as far as I know.

You guys gotta stop thinking that teams recycle players around the board. Believe it or not, the world doesn't revolve the same players of 2010 or 2011.


While this is true, Players who are top foreigners largely don't remain teamless for a long time.

While I don't think Quantic will take him, Mouz seems like they would be happy to pick him up, plus he knows and gets along with all the players on Mouz afaik. So I think perfect fit for them.

Dunno why, SjoW has been the best form i've seen him in for a long long time. I think that either he wanted a raise or as mentioned before Dignitas is slowly letting go of the sc2 scene.

Edit: As for teams to join...probably Empire, mouz or Millenium.


I wonder when his contract was last renogiated. Presuming it's a year I'd guess he'd have been coming off a very strong performance to take down IEM Kiev and while he's still very good his value has certainly tailed off towards the end of last year (IESF was nice but the field was undoubtedly weak). Might just be a case of Dignitas wanting to offer him less and Sjow not being particularly happy with that.

Probably just talking out of my arse though =p

wounder what team will sign a player like show these days, i cant agree with the ppl above me who said "he gets many offers" i dont think a player who didnt showed many good results in last 12months gets to many offers, pretty sure he must/will take one of his only 1.2 offers.


If you don´t think he has had good results you haven´t followed him in the latest tournaments. It´s not like he crushes everything but he is def top3 Terran in Europe and he has beaten good koreans in online tournaments. At the same time I don´t think he will be joining a "B" team because he is better than merz and he is staying in dignitas it seems. I definently think he is either fed up with sc2 and off to do other things or that he is going to join a team that has a pro house or lets him go to korea,

Personally I am hoping for either mouz, liquid or Quantic.

my 2 cents.

Entirely possible, might be related to the success of BlinG but who knows. Until recently SjoW and SeleCT have been the posterboys for the front of Dignitas SC2 ever since NaNi left imo so it feels very wierd for them to just slam him down.

sjow is one of the most underrated players around.

always does well in tournaments... and don't give me the BS "he didnt do well at MLG"... wtf? he lost to violet and nestea... OMG WHO ARE THOSE NOOBS??!!!! at MLG he also beat haypro 2-0, and then thorzain lost 2-0 to haypro in the consolation bracket...

consistently since the beta sjow has been one of the strongest foreign terrans period.


his micro and macro are sometimes sloppy, but if micro and macro were the only things that mattered then idra would be the best player in the world.

*shakes head*

That was appalling.

I say there are 2 obvious options: CoLMVP or Quantic.

there's no way coLMvP is gonna shell out for sjow after just picking up NaDa, Heart, and Killer.
I think Mouz or Millenium will be the team he's go to.

Dignitas was once my favorite team...now without Naniwa or Sjow...
So sad. Hope he finds a good team!

well to be honest, we all know why



I don't know why, can you enlighten me?

no, that would be too easy for you ... you need to follow sc2 more carefully, especially tournaments results

Dignitas still has a decent line up. Not one of the best but still good nonetheless. Killer and Bling will need to step up soon though.

As for teams; wasn't he practicing at the NSH house? Sjow might go to a korean team if possible.

EDIT: nvm it was morrow that was practicing at NSH house

I 100% agree with this, Sjow is awesome, I am actually very very disappointed in Dignitas right now, it may not be their fault, but it sure as hell seems like it. Such a shame Dignitas really can't afford to keep losing these big name players.

Should change the title to Sjow is released by Diginitas.

Not suprised though, he's been slumping hard for a while, and probably wanted a contract that might have been justifiable during his IEM victory days but not now, or something like that.

I don't know about Top 3.... ThorZaIN and Kas are definitely above him, I might actually rate BeastyQT above him tbh.
