I think Byul is the most likely though-- fnatic seemed sad to let him go, but I doubt he would leave on such good terms unless he had a contract lined up elsewhere, and the timing fits. Surprised that Acer can offer a better contract though, if in fact this is the case. | ||

He's also a hipster pro, he went infestor/broodlord way before it was the standard composition for lategame Zerg. As in like early 2011 he was doing that while other pros were still going roach/hydra/corruptor or roach/infestor right after the infestor patch. | ||

On State of the Game I heard one of them say MMA was talking to Acer and Azubu so I figure It's possible. | ||

If they say the new player is zerg I would say its pretty likely that the new player is zerg. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I can't be the only one who wouldn't count Yugioh as big name, surely. Destiny would be a "big name" in a way, but with him playing so much more LoL right now, I don't think he'd be looking for a SC2 team right now. | ||

Liquid is a fairly good example of that [even the racial balance they do have in korea is basically just one player of every race which is hardly "enough"]. I think its down a lot to individuals to form practice networks+ladder. it depends on a player, not being under one roof does not mean u do not train with your mates. Even a simple thing as having a friend (aka teammate) to discus problems before matches can be crucial. | ||

We all agree that zerg is strong these days and the only zerg that did well before the "zerg era" is Nerchio. I hope that Acer just buyed a strong zerg player and not some one who just got carried by the multiple zerg buffs. If the new member isn't that strong the acer line up may really fade away since blizzard wants to nerf zerg badly (see the unofficial patchnote). | ||

I would have thought that having several strong players of the same race would allow them to help each other more, share builds and so forth. Is the problem that there are no good T or P practice partners for the Acer players? | ||

I understand that an all-zerg team would be susceptible in an all-kill format to a vZ specialist but even then I don't see why it would make much of a difference in the EG Masters Cup. I would have thought that having several strong players of the same race would allow them to help each other more, share builds and so forth. Is the problem that there are no good T or P practice partners for the Acer players? Only korean team members help each other well. Having a team in foreign SC2 is like having your own cubicle with minimal interaction with your coworkers. So yeah, doesn't make any difference if they decide to pick only zerg or not, in the end it's all about to the effort of the individuals to overcome their difficulties and get better. | ||

As a side note, I saw this on Yugioh's Liquipedia page: YugiOh plays an atypical style of ZvP that depends on Infestors and Spine Crawlers to defend his bases while he quickly techs to hive. Once on hive tech he produces both Broodlords and Ultralisks to create a very cost-efficient and powerful army. That doesn't sound so atypical any more On November 21 2012 00:09 aTnClouD wrote: Only korean team members help each other well.

I thought the foreign scene was becoming more like Korea but it sounds like there is still some way to go. I thought EG had a team house though. I guess that doesn't automatically mean that the players are living there or helping each other out. | ||

Also OT, gunna have to go agree with it being a Korean like Yugioh or something along those lines | ||

Edit: So if Yugioh isn't signing with Acer (he may have, announcing that they signed MMA and Cella doesn't rule out that possibility) then is he funding himself to go to IEM Singapore? | ||

First you make mistake in nick .. , he is sLivko not slikvo Do you use every Korean player's arbitrary capitalisation at all times? Do you spell out BBoongBBoongPrime's name every time? As long as people know which player you mean it's good enough. | ||
