Awesome acquisition by Liquid! Nice to finally see a new Terran on Liquid, no less a Code S caliber Terran. Best of luck to Taeja, and hope Liquid is the best home for him!

Any info on why SlayerS lost Taeja and Ganzi?



they left, because they wanted to participate in foreign tournaments and they prob get a much better salary with their respective foreign teams now.



Cool. It's actually quite interesting to see the number of Koreans leaving their local teams for foreign teams. Did this happen in SC1 at all?



Interesting thing that this did happen to WC3 but slowly and koreans had other benefits including double salary (korean pro teams [yes wc3 had those too] and foreign teams) until WC3L forced players to use one tag.

wow you managed to get the number 1 on TLPD, nice!

Also to those that complain that's just more koreans on a foreign team, I always thought Liquid aspired to be International, not just foreigner. Having a third of the team (one of each race) from Korea isn't dramatic in any way.

Now if you exchange (I'm not being serious) Haypro with a NA terran, you have one of each race for NA, EU and KR servers (based on their origin, not where they're actually playing).

Bitch and complain because youre not satisfied by the nationality of said player.

ESPORTS

Anyone complaining, should shut their mouth and open their eyes. While they are open, use them to watch the games Zenio and HerO have provided us. You can open your mouth again at this point, as your jaw hits the floor in awe. Now add another player capable of such skill. What the hell do you have to complain about? Why is race or nationality even an issue. It sickens me.

Keep up the BOSSSSS recruitment work TL, I am loving the roster.


most forum members mocked Zenio and called him washed up and old, and now retaining code s is suddenly "wow" while when he was at oGs it was "he's always there but he'll never be top zerg like nestea/leenock/drg/insert next zerg hope"

i can understand getting HerO ho was nobody, but Zenio and now Taeja, it just doesnt seem "Liquid thing to do" :/

LOL signing good, community-friendly, team-supportive, capable players with great potential doesn't seem to be all that bad does it?


no it doesnt, i never said it does

i said it doesnt feel the same

ofcourse i can "remember that its all about winning to maintain sponsors/team strong/bla bla", but i dont have to... its not my job, its a fan thing, and in real sports you dont cheer for those you can't relate to



you can't relate to the Koreans, because they're Korean aka not white basically is what you're saying


no.

you're just being evil with no reason, please don't.

its like football, you dont cheer for real madrid if you're from naples, or athens, or istanbul. you can support real madrid, but you would never "die" for them, like you would for Napoli, PAO, Fenerbahce...

if you don't understand what i just wrote, you can't understand what i'm trying to say, honestly.

and if you do, just replace people from Naples cheering for Napoli with people from west cheering for "foreigners"


Bad example. For your example to be accurate, if you were from Madrid, your team would have to acquire only players from Madrid, or you "wouldnt be able to relate to them". Liquid is like the cities in your example, Taeja is one of the players on your team, which is multicultural. You are just being racist.


you obviously dont understand anything about real sports, and especially football...

Naples doesnt live Napoli because players are from Naples, in fact, their greatest and most glorious times were with Diego Maradona

dont comment if you dont understand please, its just flame baiting and getting the crowd to turn on me

edit: also Croatia never had racism ever in its past, so save your western historic complexes for yourself please, i open my arms to all races, and calling someone racist with no reason here is not something people look lightly at

Exactly. I'm super excited to see how this affects Jinro now that he doesn't have to be the only Terran on Liquid. Awesome pickup guys

Yes, it's great for TL to have stronger players on their roster.

But who brings the next generation of foreign talent forward if not TL? Out of any team, they could have had their pick of foreign players, be they established or talents, and could have brought these players to Korea to give them the best environment possible for them to grow. Instead, TL have chosen to hire three Korean players. You may not see it as a problem. I think it is very shortsighted to use all new resources on Korean players, while the foreign players, to an ever larger degree, gets murdered by their Korean counterparts. TL could help reverse that trend, but as I see it, at the moment they are not.

As a sidenote, the roster for the group-stage of the upcoming IPL 4 could very likely consist of 17/20 Koreans. It is very possible that we will see a final day of IPL 4 played out among 8 Koreans. If you do not think that that detracts from the interest in the tournament, I think you're kidding yourself.

Nah mang, Zenio is still just average. People just aren't comfortable saying that on the Liquid homepage, obviously.
So you can only see the blind fanboys that are convinced he's a god because of the color of his t-shirt. A "vocal minority".

Taeja however, that guy is a baller. Just got no attention because he's Terran, like half of the GSL. He actually deserves them fanboys he will get now.

Excuse my bias, but Zenio has hit Code S 8 times. What would he have to do to put him above average?

you're from Crotia.

so you're saying any random european player or american, you can relate to better?

that's why I said what I said. I'd undestand more if this was like soccer where it was more country vs country, but people always make it koreans vs "foreigners" and foreigners usually are europeans or people from NA.


yes, i didnt make those rules, i even consider chinese players foreigners for some reason and cheer for them against koreans. i cant explain it. blame artosis.

that is not racist, just sports O.O
