I bet SuperNova will end up on EG or TL so he can participate in Proleague, or he could focus on GSL and join Azubu or another team like that is looking to expand. | ||

Reason: Not only have you faked a mod message, you've also made your own fanclub and gone on a spree of unfathomably shitty posting. Continue this once you get back and you're gone. If you wanted to know......guess he faked that warning? But on topic, I wonder where he will go now. He is a pretty strong Terran but we haven't seen him get played in barely anything lately. Wonder why he left as well as mTw doesn't seem to have poor finances (to me at least). | ||

What benefit did they get from SuperNoVa? What benefit did they think they would get? What benefit do they get from keeping Dimaga around? What benefit do they get from Sc2? Do they even have a plan for Sc2? There are teams like this; SK, mTw, MYM, that sort of seem to pick up players for the hell of it, and then eventually let them go and move on. I'm confused about who or what supports these organizations. Other games, right? Then what on earth are they doing with these limp wristed Sc2 expeditions? | ||

I'm gonna guess they're just testing the water to see how it fares? And it wasn't worthwhile for them to continue, I guess. It's nice that SK has been sticking with MC though. | ||

 Also,  SK Gaming seem to get good exposure out of  MC (and manager Reis). And there seems to be some kind of connection to promote the use of own3d in Korea. MYM seem to simply try to keep their brand name afloat by paying some money to MVP (team). Exactly why, remains to be seen. mTw is more of an enigma. Before  SuperNova joined on July 27 this year, it had already been basically just  DIMAGA as their only well-known SC2 player (since 2010).Fun fact: All three teams/organizations are based in Germany. | ||

I'm sad to hear he thought his eyes needed touching up, partly for the insecurity/unhappiness with his appearance and partly because I definitely wasn't the only one who liked how he looked. :S | ||

Dark isn't even registered on Proleague roster iirc, they probably picked him up only to help the transition as a practice partner. I don't think SuNo is that good of a prospect anymore to be honest. | ||

SK gaming manager (Alex Müller-Rodic) also says it's not worth having a team, SC2 is a 1on1 discipline and we only need to support only potential tournament winners like MC. And I have to agree to that. They need only one icon to uphold their brand. The WC3L teamleague was more prestigious than all solo tournaments (except maybe WCG). Teams had a certain magic to them, legendary 4Kings, money-boasting MYM, the we-make-our-name-true World Elite, team-with-the-best-website SK Gaming, try-hard mouz and so many more. Fans track players' performances, fantasize about who they seed on which map, etc. You only needed to compete in that league to get exposure whereas in SC2 you need to promote individual players. In SC2 teams behave more like an agency for players than a sports team, which is sad in my opinion. There is no magic in this, no "team feel". And the classic teams struggle in that regard. It's nice to have IPTL and EGMCS, but unfortunately, they are overshadowed by solo tournaments by so much. EG-TL escaped to Korea to play proleague and it was so, so nice to see foreign players on camera play as a team again (in playday 1 at least). Sadly, two years into SC2, this is nothing you can see in the West. | ||

Sadly, two years into SC2, this is nothing you can see in the West. It doesn't really work out that well for organisations like that though. EG has fans. Mouz has fans. Fnatic has fans. SK doesn't. mTw doesn't. You get MC and Dimaga fans instead and that doesn't help the team's sponsors as much as if they had team sponsors.I know that Monster or Kingston are behind Jaedong, Stephano and Thorzain, because of EG. I know that RaidCall and MSi are behind NightEnD, aLive and Oz, because of Fnatic, and I know that Razer and TLAF are behind TLO and TaeJa because of Liquid, but I don't really care whose behind SK, because even though I'm a fan of MC, I don't really hear or care about SK. The only reason why they keep it up, is because mTw and SK already had a huge fanbase before SC2. Teamleagues might not be the focus of SC2 in the West (though I would very much welcome a shift to team leagues), but that doesn't make teams irrelevant. We really need a big American and European team league events, and not online leagues. Imagine how awesome it would be to have a team league like GSTL with events held around Europe, like Round 1 in Paris, Round 2 in Berlin, Round 3 in London and the Final Round in Stockholm...would be so amazing T.T | ||

It sucks that the only performing Terrans right now are Taeja, Bogus and Flash. Bomber.  Anyways. Supernova will find a team he likes, hopefully. AZUBU or TL would be perfect, and he is a cutiepie. His consistency and skill is enough to carry him far. If he goes back to KeSPA it'll be interesting. | ||

Relatively speaking, MajOr has a more varied and unreliable record with staying on teams. To his credit he has his goals and pursues them very aggressively (I believe the common logic of his most recent departure from ROOT was that SKT 1 was opening up spots for practice/B team players), but it makes it difficult for a team to invest the time and money in a player that may not hang in for the long term. He went, ROOT, sixjacks, xsix, ROOT, ROOT in terms of teams. I would say it is similar to Naniwa in many respects, whose team list in SC2 has comprised of mTw, Serious Gaming, MYM, Power Gaming, Empire, Dignitas, Complexity, Quantic. Investing in a talented Terran who has a stable track record and as much potential as Supernova is a pretty unique opportunity for any team. | ||

Terran: Polt, Supernova, TOP, TheStC Zerg: Violet, Sleep, YuGiOh Protoss: Genius, Inca, Eve Have enough to play in GSTL, Violet/Polt win all the North American qualifiers and make bank across the world at foreign tournaments, and then call the Korean American Cowboy Duo to Korea once every once and a while to compete in a GSL or help win an important GSTL match. They would have the best two English speaking Koreans dominating America and being the face of their franchise, and they'd have a strong team back in Korea for GSTL/GSL and other Korean events. They would instantly become a top team with foreign and Korean presence. | ||

Well it was already posted that they're discussing a contract with him and TOP, so I included them. Also not the best crop of Protoss free agents out there right now except if they want to get Naniwa or Arthur. A core of Polt, Violet, Genius, Supernova and TheStC would be a strong team globally and in Korea. Suepernova is a top notch Terran who just fell backwards after moving teams. | ||

In the beginning phase of SC2 you could hear some voices from these teams that even half-decent SC2 players are too expensive. I am not sure if this is still the case right now since so many mid-level players have left the scene. On the other hand, I don't think SC2 players are too greedy in particular. They are mostly older than their counterparts in other games and they have to invest more time to get better, so they need more money to sustain their lives. Also, most of these teams were around when the WC3 salary bubble bursted (MYM inflated players salaries without generating ROI), so they are not too keen to invest into salaries. Also, they had to go through the global financial crisis which killed sponsorship deals. Don't know if it still affects them though. | ||

All 3 teams ´ve been shooter based from start, with some FiFA and WC3, they never had connections to SC/BW MYM today is a totally different organization than back when it was Danish. They simply bought the name. Quote from Liquipedia: The team was founded in 2001 as a Danish company, and enjoyed wide success through various eSport titles including Counter-Strike 1.6, WarCraft III, Defence of the Ancients (DotA) and FIFA amongst others. The organisation went bankrupt in 2009, but later that same year, it was acquired by new German management, and continues to operate to date, with divisions in StarCraft II, DotA 2, League of Legends and FIFA. Also, as others have pointed out already, at least two of them did in fact have Starcraft teams. | ||

Inca could be a great player to have on a team for either team format(PL or GSTL). He hovers around 50-55% winrate in two matchups, vs. T and P and has onstage experience. I don't know anything about how he does in team houses but it seems like he could be a great practice partner and a solid choice to get wins any team league. Edit: Supernova would be an even better addition to any team for these reasons and more IMO but I might be bias because I root for Terran mostly haha. | ||

oGs disbanded and everyone moved out of the old team house, SuperNova, Jinro, HerO, HuK, and TLO simply decided as friends to rent and share a large private apartment together. TLO has since left Korea and Jinro has gone into retirement (he still lives there though)."Home Sweet Home: A New Start in Incheon" (with pics) http://www.teamliquidpro.com/news/2012/06/01/home-sweet-home-a-new-start-in-incheon Some people have already begun to call this the “TL House” is that accurate? Liquid`Nazgul: Although we have supported the initiative as good as we can, it is the players who decided to rent this apartment. This is their home, just like our other players who live in other places in the world rent their own living space. | ||

He's friends with the members of Liquid and EG, is the best Terran free agent living in Korea come 2013, and could fit right and be even better than Sea was in Proleague come the second or third round. Supernova is a massive talent, but the move to mTw just wasn't right and took down his stock big time. TheStC and GanZi are probably around the same level ish atm | ||

But weren't you arguing for him to join AZUBU in the AZUBU thread? Or was that someone else and you picked Polt for AZUBU? xD | ||

Excerpt: Now teamless after his departure from the team, SuperNoVa expressed his desire to quickly find a new team. He said, "I wish to join a team that is both active in Korea and overseas, such as EG or Liquid," expressing his desire to attend various tournaments. Source: http://esfiworld.com/news/supernova-leaves-mtw-i-wish-join-eg-or-liquid So looks like it will probably Liquid, because SuperNoVa has more connections to them and I don't think EG will hire another player that soon. | ||

Not that I have any knowledge of TL's situation, but TL grabbing a dota team recently I would think severely impact any chance at them grabbing another player | ||
