Hm I don't know with all the free agents out in the korean market they picked up a bunch of ex-oGs players, and it seems like they are past there primes. If i was Azubu i wouldve picked up Genius Symbol Hyun San SuperNoVa Top Eve Those would be the main players i would pick up if i was azubu that is for sure. You would seriously rate TOP and Eve over San and VINES? It's a good thing you actually weren't Azubu in this circumstance then. TOP hasn't been relevant in forever, while Eve hasn't been relevant AT ALL, EVER, AT ANY POINT IN TIME. On the other hand, San has shown somewhat of a resurgence in 2012, winning some weekly online tournaments in korea, qualifying for an MLG (or was it an Arena?), barely missing out on the qualification for IPL 5 (but beat some really good dudes in it) and made it to Ro16 of the OSL. Hey, it's not much, but it's something. VINES almost all-killed SlayerS early on in 2012 before dropping off. Again, it's not much, but at least they DID SOMETHING last year, is what I'm trying to get at. That isn't to say I don't agree with Azubu's choice of getting TOP and Eve on their roster, I'm just pointing out the humongous flaw in your logic whereby you claim the signings are bad and then arbitrarily pick VINES and San as the weakest links while keeping TOP and Eve on your hypothetical "what I would do" roster. Seems absurd to me. At any rate, I think Azubu are still testing the waters with regards to SC2. Surely they wouldn't want to hire a beefy roster of HyuN, Symbol, SuperNoVa only to find out a few months later that their investment has amounted to nothing, or close to nothing. It's a cautious move and honestly I think it's creating an interesting dynamic. On the one hand we're hyped to see where HyuN, Symbol and SuNo go and on the other hand it creates this curiosity of "hmm these old oGs players are still worth something? I guess I got to watch their matches now, maybe they've been secretly good all this time!" Interesting times ahead of us, that's for sure. ^^ | ||

The reason why i would pick TOP and Eve over VINES is clearly i believe TOP has more potential as a player then VINES does. VINES is in the same situation as TOP but i just believe TOP has more of a upside then VINES and for EVE i believe you need something to market the opposite sex of course that's why. TOP has some good results in the smaller tournaments but its still something then what VINES has done lately. Don't know why you keep saying VINES and San i did already mention San in my lineup look at it i didnt even edit it or nothing. I think you just got to read it more then just skimming through what people read.. | ||

 YugiOh is a beast in GSTL and would be a clear choice for me at least.and he needs to be reunited with Eve for nr. 2 HyuNSo many good free agents right now kinda hard to say since we still have  SuperNovaTheStCGanZiSymbol Arthurand a lot more that i dont feel like listing hell you can make a whole new team with the free agents that are available and it would be a pretty solid one at that.. edit: TLPD put the wrong eve on | ||

I think it will be more than 2, despite what they are saying, I have a feeling that if they don't pick up the TheSTC, he will want to join to be with his friends . That said, I think it will be Hyun and SymboL (unless TheSTC kicks his game back into high gear). | ||

TOP is actually pretty damn solid! i only say this since he's actually knocked creator out of two online qualifiers this year already lol TT (OSL and MLG iirc). which is pretty damn solid since both were 2-0's. | ||

But seriously really looking forward to seeing this team in action. The lack of Zerg is disturbing though. | ||

Found this on the internet: Azubu Europe AG is a video games media company based in Berlin. We focus on video games across all console and PC platforms by providing reviews, previews, news, guides and articles about the gaming industry, and gaming culture. Our video games webzine is dedicated to bringing insightful and interesting content to our readers. I too am confused to how they have so much money to throw around, and if they're sustainable or just have a really rich CEO with money to throw around or something. I hope they dont just suddenly collapse one day. | ||

From what I could gather in that short time, it seemed like azubu was a sort of facebook for gaming? I tried to open the other links down at the bottom of their homepage but it couldn't load for me so I sorta gave up. | ||
