Great new either way. Looking forward to see some great games =) TL FIGHTING! | ||

TLO was probably a helpful with strats and BOs since he played Terran for awhile, but he has since switched back to Zerg. TaeJa will bring Jinro back to Code S! | ||

Imagine if the 9 would train all together in one house - sky is the limit!! so much potential. Nice to see a new terran in the team maybe he can help to improve jinros play. Offtopic: the backround of the article is awesome - if somone is capable of making a Wallpaper out of it feel free to share! THX | ||

I would say being a player on Team Liquid is one of the biggest honors in the sc2 world. They signed Taeja because he is a skilled, young player full of limitless potential, that will bring great results for the team in individual and team leagues alike, it just makes sense. You can dislike it all you want but this move is amazing for TL as a team, they needed another Terran player and they got one of the best. I completely agree with this point. These teams aren't in it to acquire homegrown talent and develop them with the hopes that they'll achieve and bring results for the team. Why would a big name like Team Liquid go out and sign people who have no prior achievements and will likely never have real big time results when they can get better in every aspect by obtaining a real talent. They got the best free agent Terran player who will now have a chance to shine in foreign competitions and contribute to Liquid on a team setting. As far as I can tell, this is a smart investment of Liquid's money. | ||

Why would playing for Liquid be a bigger honor than playing for any other team, especially since he's been in SlayerS before? I have no problems with them signing a korean as it's starting to become clear that foreign talent is really rare and spending lots of money trying to breed american/euro talent most often isn't worth it. | ||

Liquid is one of the most if not the most popular team there is, you will gain lots of fans which increases your net worth if you ever decide to leave the team ( see: huk ) I'd say the biggest thing is the popularity of the team is through the roof. It's not completely explainable in simple ways, but the fans put a lot of worth into being a TL player. | ||
