All the best ClouD! He's deserves some props after all these hardworks and hard time in his career!

Last time I posted a joke at clouds expense, he cursed me out on skype and removed me.. I guess we can safely say dignitas isn't a very likely option.

Ideally for Cloud we're talking teams like millenium, mouz, but I don't see them interested. I could see him ending up with a team like Infused. You can't neglect the experience and reputation that he has build up over the years, yeah he's got a volatile personality, but it's still better than being an unknown. Even if he hasn't won any titles, he's often present at many events, making it through qualifiers and what not. He could give a team some good face time.

Edit: I thought he didn't like living in Italy though, am I remembering that wrong?
Spent new years at the Amalfi Coast which was nothing short of amazing, but Napels was a stark contrast with parts of it being quite rundown. I hope you end up in a good area. Also make sure you have stream worthy internet, obviously that increases a players value.

A little harsh isn't it? he's not the most well-known but he is still quite a good player.


Not really. He's a BM player who hasn't done much in the past year. I thought HSC VI was enough to convince him he should pack up the keyboard. I guess not though, so good luck to him. But what Zenbrez isn't harsh at all...it's realistic.


He probably won't join a team like EG or Liquid, sure. But that doesn't mean he can't join a smaller team.

I don't know what kind of players teams of any size scout for, but Cloud is probably the progamer that publicly whines about balance the most (though there are probably bigger names not coming to mind), hasn't really done much in the past year. Then again, most foreigners haven't either. I'm not saying no one will pick him up, FXO did pick up Desrow after all, I would have never predicted that. I don't follow him nor online tournaments, but the most I remember of him is doing somewhat well in online tournaments in 2011, before koreans were in the picture.

Having that said, if he does put in the hour and the effort, he is just as deserving as anybody else. Gl to him


You know who else whines about balance, 90% of Korean players, and quite worse than ClouD does tbh. ToD also whines about balance a ton, more so than ClouD actually.

Anyways I do like ClouD and hope he find a good team, I could see him going to FXO europe or Empire, maybe even Diginitas.

He will fit well in Empire or Dignitas i think. But also Karont3 is an option and he's very friend with Lucifron...


I think we can rule out dignitas for now, considering what happened when Tefel was recruited. Then again, dignitas signed Ourk and there's history between him and Bling too so who knows.
Empire, FXO eu, maybe. I'd agree with Karont3 being a good fit though.

Edit: Why are people making such a big deal about him being BM or not? There's absolutely no point in denying he has a history of being bad mannered, sure, but why do people think it matters this much? This whole discussion about him being BM or not is a waste of space.

I'm going to keep playing, I said some months ago I was unhappy with how I performed in tournament games and unless I saw improvement I would retire. I think my mindset has changed and I've been playing much better in the latest tournaments. Sure with terran the way it is not I did not expect to win HomeStoryCup, I only wanted to see if I choked or not in tournament games like I used to do. Nothing is worse than going in a competition and underperforming, and the last 3 tournaments I played I was happy with myself and had overall a good feeling. I think I am a much better player right now and if Blizzard keeps this state of balance I will change race with HotS (like other non korean pro terrans probably) but I am definitely going to play more since in Italy I don't have to worry about anything except how to improve myself as a person and as a player. I'm absolutely not considering retirement just because the game is screwed up, I would rather change my race than being defeated by the incompetence of the Blizzard balance team. There's still a lot to play and to see in the future and I see myself doing much better than in the past as I grow up in mindset and skill.
Thanks to the guys with the kind words and cheers to the h8ers, love ya <3 [image loading]

The only post he makes in his own thread he says he has a better mindset then whines about balance. I'm all for foreigners trying to make it happen for them, but stop blaming the race.

Please come back with a better attitude towards the game and humanity.
That includes the constant blaming of others for your own underperforming.

I don't really like ClouD, he always seems to whine more than play.

GL to him, we need some more terran representation in the foreign lands.

well, Inferno eSports is probably the biggest organisation in Italy. They used to have a pretty good European lineup, with SortOf, RunA and Jimpo and some others, but then they were reduced to just Italian players, probably the best Italian players, with the exceptions of StarEagle, ClouD and Evaner. Now they just picked up Sickness, a Korean player who used to be on Dream Team Gaming. They also have a partnership with Dream Team Gaming, which should have ended at the end of 2012, so I don't really know what's happening with that ^^.

Agreed, not sure why dropping out in the first stage of Homestory after only winning a series against ToD counted as the "results" to continue playing

I don't know anything about the players or teams, but I know that they have Vasa, who is a pretty damn sexy caster. (I don't understand Italian. But he can use his voice very well.)

Hope the move brings you everything you're looking for, Cloud. Also, think you'll be in the Vasacast tournament?
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Yes he will play in the Vasacast Invitational. The first 3 invited players are Cloud, Snute and Kas. (the other 13 are unknown, they reveal 3 each week)
