Your favourite team picks up a world class player to strengthen their line-up and further establish themselves as the team to beat!

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"


That is a real bad analogy. People from Naples cheer for Napoli. That is true. But if, say as an extreme example, Messi was going to join Napoli, people from Naples will still cheer for Napoli and will also cheer Messi as he would help their team achieve greater heights.

Now, please replace Napoli with Team Liquid; people from Naples with foreign community/TL fans; and Messi with Taeja; and you will realize that your analogy is inherently flawed and a real sports analogy actual actually defeats your argument.

What a terrible move by Liquid. Being a traitor to the foreigners by signing possibly the best free agent there has been in the past year. Who would want to sign a player who is young, has already become one of the best Terrans in the world by living at home, and has a charismatic personality? Insane. Why would they want to have the best team possible and get enough players to play in next season's GSTL with three Code S quality players?

They should have signed a female from Azerbaijan.

So you want teams to ignore promising Korean free agents because they are Korean?

If people want their beloved foreigner teams to stay foreigner-only, then foreigners need to play better so that there is no incentive to recruit Korean talent. TaeJa is easily a top 10 worldwide Terran (an argument could be made for top 5, although it's crowded up there) and has most of his career ahead of him.

This is a great pickup and helps strengthen the Terran lineup of Liquid. Jinro has been oh so lonely since TLO switched back to Zerg.

GL to TaeJa and Liquid~!


Foreigners aren't going to get better when they have no hope of receiving support and investment from foreigner teams until they are as good as Code S Koreans - and that's not going to happen without training in a team house.

It's one more nail in the coffin for the foreigner's scene. People who think this is going to make foreigners practice harder are very naive - the way foreigners dealt with the lack of support in BW was... By not playing. Then BW ceased being an international eSport. SC 2 is going the same way.


I agree but at the same time, Taeja did not live in the slayers house. He is 16 years old, and technically still in school. He lives at home with his parents who apparently were opposed to him becoming a progamer. In addition, there are many foreign players who live at team houses that don't come close to koreans in terms of skill. I don't think just having a team house and all your living expenses paid for is the full story. Just saying that if we supported programers more, then they would get better is a fallacy. Following that logic, no one would have started e-sports as in the beginning, there would be no support for them and therefore, no one would pursue it competitively.

Liquid is extremely picky with their players, and they don't just them go either. It would be nice if there were non koreans that were any good but right now it's slim pickings and the ones that are already have teams. Liquid let one get away but with the room in the budget from that move they've grabbed a nice stable of extremely talented players that seem like good guys in general.

What's with the whole "female from Azerbaijan" quip? It sounds vaguely offensive to this forumer. Someone else might be inflamed.

This just in, Hayder is not a troll , also now is the time for everyone who called it to say, "I told you so, JS." In all seriousness though, this guy is going to be beast for liquid, and now they have an actual terran other than Jinro who hasn't preformed as well as Taeja up to this point :D Great to see Jinro get some Terran support .
User was warned for too many mimes.
