Polt had his spot this GSL (him + Naniwa) and hasn't won any event since receiving the seed if I'm not mistaken.
The two most likely scenarios are a) Thozain/Stephano for code S and [insert some other foreigner in korea here] for up/down b) Stephano/Winner of MLG Anaheim code S and Thozain up/down

I guess if it mean Thorzain to the SlayerS house, it's pretty good.

To be fair when was the last time any of the non-Koreans have won anything on TL?
And mouz signed Thorzain after he started winning in TSL3, they didn't develop him. Naniwa joined coL and then Quantic while being a top foreigner.
And pretty much every team out there is buying mid-level Korean players.
Such is life - you aren't going to have ROOT-like stories anymore of teams developing together.

But after the first Wohuuu, I´m a bit sad for Mouz, gl to them too. Still good players on the team, but ThorZain will be missed

You think Taeja, Zenio and hero joined TL because they were big fans and to become friends with haypro? Lol...

thing is, over here you tend to speak about monthly salaries, that probably confused him

mind = blown..this was out of nowhere for me!!!!

Oh vau, when I saw the title on the front page, I thought that someone from liquid.net was trolling.
So happy for ThorZaIN! Sad for Mouz, he and Mana made it my fav. team. Is EG planning on aquireing Parting anytime soon, so that I can have my new fav. team? :-P
(Anyway, what does this mean for the EG MCSL? Both from EG and Mouz perspective)
Edit: the video is pure brilliant, love it!
|
So sick for all parties! Im glad that thorzain was able to take another year out to play sc2 :D
|
Sad he left mouz
|
I hope marcus got a boat load of money for this, otherwise I don't understand why. Fast becoming an EG anti-fan, now try and watch as EG markets him as a bad boy of esport. Big fan of thorzain, not a big fan of EG.
|
Haha, Thorzain on Evil Geniuses feels wrong.
But I'm glad for him! I'm sure this means he's making some serious monetary gains!

Lol... isnt one of the reasons zenio joined TL because he wanted to practice from home and not stay with OGS in their team house? TL allowed that, but apparently OGS didn't.

Can't wait to see the results of Thorzain korean training btw.

Polt already got his code s spot this current season. He is already in GSL. Stephano has been invited and there is another spot available. It could be Thorzains.
